Boiling Springs Swimming Pool

Built in 1927, the Boiling Springs Pool is the oldest public pool in Cumberland County. 

Still running after all these years, many improvements have taken place since 2000, including the addition of 3 waterslides, new deckwork, railings and sidewalks. 

Cool off at the hottest place to be this summer, the Boiling Springs Pool!  We are ready to give your family the best mini-vacation the area can offer.  Nice lawns, sun or shade, relaxing, soothing pools – or exciting and wild slides!

We also have a full service snack bar serving nachos to hamburgers, cheese steaks to chicken parm subs, french fries and chicken strips.  Sodas, ice teas, fruit punch… Ice cream, slushies and candy.

Nightmare and Daydream!  Zip down our enclosed 130 foot speed slide.  Head into the dark, zoom through the tube and splash into the light.  Can you keep your eyes open?  Or – cruise into the corners gaining speed as you go, on our 220 foot long open water slide.

A variety of swimming pools!  Cool off in one of our 4 pools.  A 1 foot deep wading pool for the small kids, two intermediate pools with sun and varying depths, and our 150 foot long pool with another 90 foot long water slide at the west end.

We don’t care where you live, just where you swim! 

The Boiling Springs Triathlon started in 2005 with a test run of 10 participants. 

In 2006 it was upgraded to 30 participants and 10 team participants. 

The swim is 1/2 mile at the Boiling Springs Pool, followed by a 15 mile bike trek and a 3 mile run. 

Rules, descriptions, photos and results can be found on the triathlon website.

On the first Saturday in June, this juried Arts and Crafts show is held along the Children’s Lake on Front Street in Boiling Springs. Craft makers, organizations, and food vendor booths line the street from the Memorial Clock Tower, along the lake, right up to the walking bridge at the Boiling Springs Pool.

The food vendors are stacked up along 3rd Street and the arts and craft vendors line Front Street.

Parking can be difficult in the area.  You can find parking along some streets (although most are narrow and do not have side parking), or at the Yellow Breeches parking area.  More recently, shuttles have been made available from the high school down to the square.  The walk from the high school to the square is approximately 1/2 mile, if you would prefer not to wait for the shuttle.

For Vendors:

The organizers for Foundry Day do not visit this page.  If you want information on setting up a booth, please contact them directly.  If you leave a message in the comments here – they will probably not see it.  For information go to www.ybcrafts.org or email yellowbreeches@gmail.com.

The first Sunday in December is the date of the annual Christmas Tree lighting on the Childrens’ Lake.

Hundreds of luminaries line the lake and crowds gather near the Gazebo to watch Santa Claus row his boat across the lake to greet the children.  A Christmas Tree that is set afloat near the Memorial Clock Tower is lit at this time.

Even on the coldest days, the warmth of the town and the people make this night one of the more memorable holiday experiences.  If there is snow on the ground – I consider this a holiday “Must Do!”

There is no charge for this event.
