Ready for an awesome pool party at Hard'ack?
Your group will have a private reserved area at poolside with canopy and picnic table(s). Party fee covers entry for up to 15 people and a staff person to help coordinate pool games and activities. You will have full access to all areas of the pool: the zero-entry area that feels like walking into the water at the beach, shallow water play features, the diving well, and the swimming lanes. Pool parties occur on weekends during public swim hours 1:00-4:00pm. Hosts may arrive 12:30pm and depart 4:30pm for set up and take down. Decorations permitted, except for helium balloons.

Fee
Residents $300
Non Residents $400

Party Size
15 people (whether swimming or not)
* Regular general admission fee applies at the door for additional guests ($7 Residents / $14 Non-Residents)

Please note
Party does not get private access to the entire facility, patrons from the public also use the pools during Public Swim hours. There is no slide available for use during the winter.
