OA Community Pool

NOTICE TO THE OA SCHOOL COMMUNITY

Please be advised that the Owego Apalachin Central School District community pool will be shut down starting May 23rd until further notice as part of a scheduled capital improvement project. This work goes beyond routine maintenance and repairs and represents a significant investment in upgrading and improving the facility. At this time, we anticipate the pool will be ready for use in time for Fall sports in August. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to enhance the long-term safety, functionality, and quality of the pool.

Thank you,

Owego Apalachin Central School District
