As one who grew up in South Bethlehem and spent many summers at Yosko Park, Bethlehem, and many other municipalities, are finding it difficult to hire lifeguards to run their pools. We have reached out to the high schools and other organizations in the community and will continue to seek lifeguards in order to staff our pools safely. Until then, West Side and Yosko Pools will share lifeguards and be open on the following schedule beginning Monday, July 3, 2017.
The City of Bethlehem‘s pools, Memorial, West Side and Stark, will open for the season this Saturday, June 10th at 12:00 noon.
