Ridgefield Pool Management,
I’ve been a homeowner and have lived in Ridgefield since 1985 this was the first year we joined after being members of a neighboring municipal pool for many years. We were presently surprised how beautiful the grounds were and how pristine the water was, insuring it was clean and safe for everyone to enjoy.. Thumbs up to Tommy the gentleman I soke to who is responsible for maintaining the water quality. You can clearly see the pool management takes pride in providing the residents of Ridgefield a wonderful place to relax and enjoy with there family’s and children. This includes the support staff, from Linda your Asst. Manager who walked the grounds on a regular basis making sure everything was to the membership’s liking, including answering questions in a professional courtesy manner. As a first time member we sure had a lot of questions, which included the rules, times of operation, etc. The life guards were also extremely friendly and pleasant, this includes a gentlemen named Anthony who would check us in at the upper pool. I can say my wife and I are proud to be new members of the Ridgefield pool and are looking forward to many more years relaxing at the poolside. Last but not least the Mayor and Council who also provide the necessary support. Keep up the great work..!!
Thanks for a wonderful first year experience..!!!!

The management and staff are excellent. The pool and premises are very clean and there are loads of fun events to be enjoyed by children and adults.
I highly recommend the Ridgefield Community Pool!

Aug 2024: One of the nicest, cleanest, and friendliest pool in Bergen County. I highly recommended. It was a lot of fun and they have a picnic area where you can consume food and it’s right next to a wonderful playground.
Update June 2025: I continue to be impressed with how clean, friendly and welcoming this pool is. I have renewed my pool membership and signed up for swim classes from my girls. Highly recommend!

I started coming to the Ridgefield Pool in 1969 when it first opened. I was a kid at the time, but I have continued joining the pool on my own each Summer since I graduated from Rutgers in 1978 with my masters in Urban Planning. The landscape and layout of the pool always fascinated me, which led me to pursue such studies. Year after year, I spend my time at the lap pool, often doing laps to stay in shape and recover from my recent back surgery. Many of the people up there find certain things disruptive, but I truly enjoy seeing the pool get as much use as it does. I have heard many complaints from people who I sit around at the top pool, but I completely disagree with each and every one of them. The staff are indeed amazing, always cautions and aware of what is happening around them. I enjoy all of the events that have been put on so far this season, and cannot wait to participate in more!
