Dix Hills Pool May Reopen To Town Of Huntington, Lupinacci Says

The decision would be "based on the successful phased reopening of our beaches with new safety measures in place," the supervisor says.

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON, NY — There's a chance Town of Huntington residents get to cool off in the Dix Hills Park Pool this summer, after all. The pool will be open for summer camps, though it might also open for residents, says Supervisor Chad A. Lupinacci.

"Based on the successful phased reopening of our beaches with new safety measures in place, we are more confident now that we can provide an equally safe and fun experience at the Dix Hills Pool this summer, which will be open for our summer camps," Lupinacci said. "We are considering plans to open the pool to residents only in the coming weeks."

The Dix Hills Park Pool, at 575 Vanderbilt Parkway, is the lone pool operated by the Town.
