A pool party and barbecue are scheduled on Tuesday, June 17 at Saxon Woods Pool in White Plains. Westchester’s senior citizens are invited to kick off the summer. Rain date is Wednesday, June 18.

Sponsored by Westchester County Parks and the county’s Department of Senior Programs and Services, the pool party is open to Westchester County residents age 60 and older. Seniors are welcome to bring their young grandchildren.

Since the pool will not be officially open yet, seniors and youngsters will have the pool for their exclusive use. Saxon Woods also features the “Andy’s Place” playground that is handicapped-accessible for children with special needs and is fun for kids of all ages. Mini golf rounds are free.

From 11 a.m. to noon, barbecued chicken, tossed salad, potato salad, juice and dessert will be available. Entertainment will be provided by Mack and Soul, along with a water aerobics class.

Participants are welcome to bring any additional non-alcoholic beverages. Seating at Saxon Woods Pool is limited; participants are encouraged to bring chairs for seating.

Admission and parking for the event are free; park passes are not required for this program.

Suggested lunch contribution is $4 for seniors and children. Deadline for placing lunch orders is Monday, June 9. To order, call the Department of Senior Programs and Services at (914) 813-6380 or (914) 813-6449.
