This petition has been created in the hopes that our town leaders will reconsider their decision to not open Lake Nanuet this summer.  With town camps not being offered and families having been stuck at home for the past three months we were all counting on the pool opening at some point so our children can try to enjoy summer with some semblance of normalcy like they are supposed to.

We have three pools in Clarkstown with Lake Nanuet being the largest and most spacious. At this point being confined at home is no longer an option for the health and social-emotional well being of our children.  With most vacation plans on hold Clarkstown families need something to look forward to. Finally, hiring life guards should become easier considering certification programs are available between now and early July and the deeper end of the pool can stay closed on days when not enough guards are available as it has done in the past. 

We appreciate all you do and hope you will reconsider your decision and open Lake Nanuet this summer.
