Pool Parties

Host a Pool Party at Hard'ack Pool!
Your group will have a reserved area at poolside with canopy and picnic table(s). Party fee covers entry for up to 15 people.  All party guests count towards your total whether they will swim or not.  Have more than 15 party goers?  No problem, you can pay for the extra at the regular rate, or you can have some guests pay at the door.
You will have access to all areas of the pool that your partiers are safely capable of swimming in. Pool parties are booked Saturdays & Sundays during public swim hours from 1:00-4:00pm.  Hosts may arrive 12:30pm and depart 4:30pm.
Hosts are allowed to bring food in. No glass containers.  Food must stay in the reserved area.  There is no refrigerator/freezer space available.
Ice Cream novelties are available for sale on site if desired.
There will be an adult swim session at 45 minutes after each hour.  Guards will blow the whistle and all kids will need to exit the pool for 15 minutes until the guards blow the whistle for kids to return to the water.  This is a great time for kids to use the restroom :) 
All regular pool rules apply. 
No helium balloons.
No alcohol allowed.
No glass containers.
