Pool Summary

The Edison Elks Pool is one of the oldest operating pools in the nation. It has been passed down by generations of the community of Edison. Many of Edison’s older residents remember it as Washington Swim Club where they would bring their families and enjoy the pool and large shady grove to BBQ in on weekends. They would also attend some of the many BBQ’s and Live music the Elks opens up to their guests. Today the pool is managed by a handful volunteers from the Edison Elks Lodge 2487 and their families to continue the spirit of community.
