Avalon Community Pool
the avalon pool will close for the season at 6:00 pm on Sunday, August 16!
Pool Pass Applications are now live! Patrons must submit applications online and include photos of all pass recipients. Payment can be made through the Borough's online payment portal; we will also accept cash or check payments at the Borough Building. NO PAYMENTS FOR POOL PASSES WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE AVALON COMMUNITY POOL!
Please complete the online application BEFORE you make an online payment to ensure you select the correct payment option. Once payment is received and the pass application is approved, patrons will receive electronic passes. Patrons will also have the option of receiving classic/physical passes for an additional charge. The passes must be scanned by the gate guard to gain entry to the pool.
Borough staff will be happy to assist with this new online application process. We may have some growing pains, and we know that change can be difficult, but we believe this new system will allow us to provide better service to all patrons.
When purchasing pool passes, please remember that children under the age of 13 will not be admitted to the pool unless accompanied by an adult.
Caregiver passes are LIMITED passes - the caregiver can only use the pass to gain admission to the pool when accompanying members of the family who purchased the pass.
A pool pass is not a membership and confers no special rights or privileges beyond general admission. Patrons are admitted to the pool on a first come, first serve basis regardless of status as a season pass holder.
Questions? Please call the Borough Administration Office, 412-761-5820.
