Heritage Hill Swimming Pool will open to the public May 31, White Oak officials said. Pre-sale of passes began May 12.
Due to COVID-19 health restrictions, no daily passes will be sold this year. Cost of a season pass is $60 for residents and $75 for non-residents. For senior citizens, passes for $30 for residents, and $60 for non-residents. Proof of residency and age is required.
Passholders will be given a photo ID which will be required to enter the pool complex.
Councilwoman Julie Opferman, who chairs the Parks and Recreation Committee, said season pass holders will be allowed to purchase five days’ worth of limited guest passes for $25.
“There will be designated areas to eat, and we’re talking with a contractor about getting vending machines,” she said.
