The new Bear Creek public pool in Boulder Creek is now open to the public, but on a limited basis.
If someone from the general public wishes to swim on a “pay-per-swim” basis – $8 per adult and $5 per child under 18 – he or she can only swim 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sundays for recreational swimming, and 6-7 p.m. Thursdays, and 9-10 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays for lap swimming only.
The Boulder Creek Parks and Recreation Department, which operates the pool, is selling monthly single and family pool memberships and annual tennis/pool and tennis-only memberships.
The pool members get half-price discounts on recreational swimming and have special members-only times and days: 1- 4 p.m., Mondays and Wednesday, and 4-6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Members also can use the pool for lap swimming at no extra fee, 6-7 p.m. Thursdays and 9-10 a.m. Saturdays.
The pool, which held a grand opening event on July 7, is the former Bear Creek Country Club, at 15685 Forest Hill Drive.
