Pool Parties!
Ready for an awesome pool party at Hard'ack?
Your group will have a reserved area at poolside with canopy and picnic table(s). Party fee covers entry for up to 15 people (including adults). Have more people you'd like to party with? No problem, you can pay for extra guests ($8 per St. Albans Resident, or $16 per non-resident). Or they can pay as they enter.
Your party will have access to all areas of the pool that your party goers are capable of swimming in : 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. All regular pool rules are in effect and apply to partygoers.
If a partier is using a life vest, an adult must be in the water with them, and within arm's reach.
Pool parties occur on Saturdays & Sundays during public swim hours, 1:00-4:00 pm, and must be reserved in advance. Hosts may arrive at 12:30 pm and depart at 4:30 pm for setup and take-down.
No helium balloons.
No Alcohol allowed.
