On 4th June 1934, Stonehaven Open Air Pool opened
for its very first season. In 2009, the Pool will open for its
75th
anniversary season on Saturday 30th May. Special
events are planned
that day and also all season long to celebrate the anniversary year,
with a special
Anniversary and Homecoming Weekend from Friday 3rd –
Sunday 5th July. Today the Pool offers sheltered sun terraces,
an on-site café and healthy fun for all ages from grannies to
babies, whatever the weather. It really is cool when it’s hot and
fun when it’s not!
NEW for 2009 is the
Paddling Pool, specially
designed to give our youngest customers their best possible first
“swimming” experience, and to keep them safe and sheltered from sea
breezes. There are
swimming sessions for everyone, including kids’
fun and midnight swims, long
opening hours in peak season and
ticket
prices to suit most budgets. Disabled visitors and swimmers will
also find the stunning Listed Art Deco building easily accessible.
The Pool is operated to the highest standards by a partnership
between Aberdeenshire Council and the
Friends of Stonehaven Open Air Pool and has recently won Customer Service and Visitor Experience
awards
