It was in National Park NJ right off of Redbank Ave.
About 1967 I use to go there. It was only 2 built in swimming pools then.
And Free.
Then about 12 years ago one of my children went there for Fun Day at the end
of the school year.
The pools were closed to us. But they have "mentaly disabled or mentaly
retarded children" from the other side of the bridge still come over.
Don't know what is happening there now.
