RIDGEWOOD — The Village Council voted Wednesday to open Graydon Pool this summer to residents of other municipalities, at least through 2012.
Ridgewood traditionally has offered Graydon Pool memberships to residents of neighboring Midland Park and Ho-Ho-Kus. Wednesday’s council vote will allow anyone to purchase memberships for $160 this year and $175 next year. Children up to age 15 would be charged $140 this summer and $155 in 2012.
Tim Cronin, the village parks and recreation director, estimated that revenue will rise substantially from the new rules and fees. The pool had between 3,000 and 3,200 members last year, and the village hopes for more.
“Based on last year, we think we can generate another $41,000 in revenue for the summer of 2011,” Cronin said.
