Pool Regulations & Hours

Pool season typically runs Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend

Hello Neighbors,

Pool season is here! The pool is open 12pm (Noon) - 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays unless otherwise noted. The pool will be open daily 12pm (Noon) - 8pm once school is out.

As we have done in previous years, parties are permitted at the pool with 2-weeks advance notice to the Pool Coordinator so that an additional guard can be secured. Please read the  pool rules below carefully for more details.

Please remember that only Colonial Acres Homeowners Association members (i.e. full dues-paying members) may use the the pool and its common area.  If you have not paid your dues, please contact our treasurer Maria Catalano (maria.catalano19@gmail.com) or our president Justine Aloise-Patka (jmaloise@gmail.com) to make arrangements.  

The pool and its common areas are a reflection of our community. It takes all of our efforts and pride to maintain it. We hope that the area can be a place for everyone to enjoy over the summer. If you have any questions or want to know how you can help, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Pool Committee Chair, Dave Szalda (dszalda51@gmail.com) or Justine .
