The pool opened late this season and alternates operation days with Parkview Pool in Hokendauqua. Jefferson Pool remains closed. Whitehall Township Aquatics Director Jaime Henry credits the dedicated and hardworking staff with being able to keep the two pools open and safe for township residents this summer. The pools close for the season Aug. 15.
