Many NW Bergen County town pools have options for residents and non residents alike. Some are more affordable than others. However, PLEASE check with each location first. Although most pools have reopened, there may be added changes to membership at this time.
Some great options are:
Crestwood Lake (West Crescent Avenue, Allendale)
Crestwood Lake has a clean, quaint beach for residents and for non residents of the following towns: Saddle River, Upper Saddle River and Ho- Ho Kus. Anyone outside of these NW Bergen Towns would have to be a guest of an Allendale resident. They have a small playground, a big basketball court and a covered, camp-like, shaded area for family get-togethers and picnics. There is a beautiful walking trail with landmarks and plaques offering information on the history of the area as well as memorials to those from the town, who were involved in 9/11.

Graydon Pool (259 N. Maple Ave, Ridgewood)
You’ll want to join Graydon Pool, a natural pool formed when Ridgewood residents dammed the nearby Ho-Ho-Kus Brook decades ago. It’s surrounded by sand. Kids also love the zero-entry shallow area with sprinklers. Older kids love jumping off the floating rafts and the diving boards. There’s a swim team and swim lessons for all ages, and members enjoy yoga on the beach as well. (Graydon Pool, 201-670-3376, adult memberships start at $120/resident and $200/non-resident)
Saddle River Valley Swim and Tennis Club (750 East Saddle River Road, Monsey, NY)
This beautiful pool club sits on nearly 8 acres just north of Upper Saddle River. They offer a large heated main pool and a smaller kiddie pool with a shower spray, plus a sand volleyball court and a playground. Lounge chairs with umbrellas are spread throughout the grass surrounding the pool, and the Poolside Café is open. The club offers a Tennis Camp and a general camp for the kids. (Saddle River Valley Swim and Tennis Club, 845-356-9010, Family rate is $975)
Waldwick Municipal Pool (105 W. Prospect St.)
Waldwick pool has a big slide that kids love, while parents love the fact that there’s a shaded picnic area. Swimming lessons are offered for all ages, and they also offer sing a longs and arts n crafts. (Waldwick Municipal Pool, 201-652-5177, Rates starting at $55/resident and $150/non-resident)
