Powered by GoogleI am a little bias in that I've bin a Westfield Y Member since 1987, and I already knew the quality and kindness you bring to everyone. What is incredibly overlooked at times is the positivity The YMCA brings to every community. Thank you for coming here and making our community a little better. Kindly- Greg
I grew up at CPFC so seeing the upgrades was a shock. But whoever built the gym- big kudos to you! They have excellent equipment, and I think I died and went to heaven when I saw the Rogue IWF bars. They even have machines that count for you. I’ve never seen the facility so clean and the front office staff was so nice. They really did a great job with the upgrades.
Outdoor pool has something for everyone! There's a kids pool, a separate pool for older kids, a section for adults and a diving/slide area! And if you need a snack after spending time in the sun/pool they have a snack shack!! That's not all...there is two lanes I'm the outdoor pool for swimming laps and an indoor pool dedicated for swimming laps...so come for some sun and get your laps in...
Pool is very nice looking and has food options, incase packing a cooler isn't your thing. You cannot get into this pool unless you have a membership. It was so nice looking, u was willing to sign up for a membership, until I saw the prices. 400-550 depending on if you're a Cranford residen. The higher price is if you're a non resident. I live 5 mins away in the Borough of Roselle, so if I signed up for me and my kids, it would cost over 500.
Pool memberships are insane. That being said, at least there is 1 out there that has a non resident option and a guest pass that isn't entirely unreasonable. As a kenilworth resident I sure wish we could get a discount, since half the people at orange Ave pool are from k town, but it is a clean, well maintained and well staffed pool with a friendly, if not crowded, vibe. It is also bike distance from all of kenilworth.
