Stonybrook pool starts season with surge in membership

Residing on the eastern edge of Hillsdale, the 12-acre property of Stonybrook is the perfect summer club for the entire family.

HILLSDALE, N.J.—Since Stonybrook Swim & Recreation Club memberships opened March 31, hundreds of families have registered, an increase of nearly 60% over 2019, said pool administrators.

Of the 421 families who have registered, 229 were resident families and 192 were non-resident families. Based on current enrollment, the club should be generating about $288,000 and has so far collected $147,000.

The club, at 183 Cedar Lane, is being prepared for its Memorial Day opening, May 29.

As part of its 2021 membership drive, Stonybrook is partnering with local businesses that were impacted by Covid-19 to provide savings to members.

Members can buy $20 discount cards good for deals at participating local businesses between Memorial Day and year end, including at Jack’s Cafe, Reilly’s Rib Cage, Prohibition, Preppy Pampered Pups, Park Avenue Hair, and Mathnasium.

Residents and members can reserve their card through Community Pass or at the club starting Memorial Day weekend.

“Residing on the eastern edge of Hillsdale, the 12-acre property of Stonybrook is the perfect summer club for the entire family. Kids can jump into our diving pool, or slide down our 14-foot slide, while parents swim in our heated competition pool,” notes the pool’s website.

The club offers members a snack bar, a basketball court, parties, live bands, and playgrounds. The club has five pools, for different ages or activities. The club also offers learn-to-swim programs, in addition to swim and dive teams.
