A Ramapo public pool will be shut down entirely for the season and perhaps indefinitely due to lack of usage by the town’s residents and the lack of enough help to staff the pool for out-of-town guests. Ramapo supervisor Michael Specht says a housing development is not in the Saddle River pool’s future…
Other ideas that could replace the Saddle River pool include a miniature golf course and a skate park. Specht says the Spook Rock Pool will open this summer exclusively for Ramapo residents. Last year, the Saddle River pool was used by an overwhelming majority of out-of-town residents, a whopping 97 percent.
