On September 22, members of the Albemarle community gathered to celebrate the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. After almost 60 years of generations of swimming, learning, connection and play, the Gath pool was demolished. Speakers and guests at the groundbreaking included State Representative Kay Khan, Newton Mayor Fuller, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Nicole Banks and Parks Director Luis Perez Demorizi, Newton Public Buildings Commissioner Josh Morse, Bluefish swim coaches and leaders Mary and Scott Pohlman, and many others, from city councilors to your devoted FOA board, who were thrilled to say a few words of thanks and stand next to a shovel – as much as we mourn the end of the pool we love. The two new pools and splash pad are on track for a June ribbon-cutting!
