Schools are out, pools are in

White Park Pool is the perfect place for a kid to have fun in the sun. With its mushroom fountain, dumping buckets and rideable water-spraying whale, the pool is practically a waterpark. The only downside is that with its small capacity, kids may have to wait in line for a few minutes before being able to enter the pool area. But, hey, there’s a playground right next to it! Location: 1 White St. Public swim hours: Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-noon, 12:30-4:30 p.m. and 5:30-7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 12:30-4:30 p.m.

Concord is home to seven – count ’em, seven – public pools. That may seem like a lot, and it is. Recreation Director David Gill told us that he believes Concord to be the only city of its size in New England, and perhaps the United States, with that many pools. But, he said, having a swimming pool within walking distance of every neighborhood in Concord is vital to the quality of life of our residents.
We can’t help but agree. Many of our formative years were spent immersed in chlorinated water. So, we decided to check out each and every public pool for ourselves. Take a look! For more information about Concord’s pools, call 225-8690 or visit ci.concord.nh.us/recreation.
