Newton will reopen the Gath Pool and Crystal Lake later this month, allowing swimmers to finally return after being closed for a year due to the pandemic.
The swimming areas — with lifeguards on duty — will reopen starting June 21, with a full schedule that kicks off June 28, according to Mayor Ruthanne Fuller. Crystal Lake’s bathhouse also will be open.
Newton residents can purchase memberships online for the public pool and the beach, and pick up their scan cards on their first visit, Fuller said in the statement.
Summer membership for both swim sites is $55 for adults 18 to 61, and $35 for children 6 to 17 and people age 62 and older.
