Swimming Pool Hours Extended At Syosset-Woodbury Community Park

WOODBURY, NY — Town of Oyster Bay pools, including Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, are temporarily remaining open a little longer as residents try to beat the heat.

Town pool hours will be extended Monday and Tuesday until 8 p.m. due to high temperatures and humidity, officials said. Pools will open at 11 a.m.

"Today's forecast calls for extreme heat, and we invite our residents to enjoy some fun family time and make the Town pool facilities their backyards away from home," Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. "This summer, we've taken action to further ensure the health of our residents by implementing new safety protocols to ensure all who visit our facilities feel safe this summer."

Town of Oyster Bay Pools are located at Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park, Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, Bethpage Community Park, Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa and Tappen Pool in Glenwood Landing.

Pool admission is limited to town residents. Non-residents can accompany guests. Visitors must practice social distancing throughout the facility. Masks should not be worn in the water. Pool facilities will offer complimentary sunscreen stations courtesy of a partnership between the Town and Northwell Health. For more information on Town pools, visit www.oysterbaytown.com/pools.
