Dear Willow Run Pool Members,
The Willow Run Board of Directors and pool staff thank you for your support during the 2023 season. We had a robust membership and a summer full of relaxing and enjoyable moments. It was wonderful to see a full pool deck and people in the water!

Pool Workday is Saturday, April 20 from 8am – 2pm (rain date April 27). This is your chance to help get the pool ready for the season! Volunteers can earn a $10 concession credit (max $20 credit per family) by spending a minimum of four hours helping to spruce up our pool grounds & landscaping. Make sure you check in at the breezeway upon arrival. For safety reasons, no children under the age of 12 please. Middle and High School students: your volunteer hours qualify for Crosby Scholars, Scouting, etc – be sure to bring the appropriate form for your program. Join us in preparing the pool for our summer season! Bring your hats, gloves, rakes, shovels, hedge clippers, etc. and help make the pool grounds beautiful!
Mark your calendar: Opening Day is Saturday, May 25! The pool will be open from 10am – 8pm. As in years past, this will be a FREE GUEST DAY — bring your friends who may be interested in joining Willow Run.
The world-famous Willow Run Grill will be open on Opening Day, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day from 11am – 2pm each day. The $30 “Family Meal Deal” is still available at the grill for a family of five (+ $5 for each additional immediate family member on the day of the event).
Want to learn how to swim? Individual or small group lessons for children and adults are available through our swim coaches. Stop by the concession stand during pool hours to speak with one of our staff for more information.
Are your kids interested in being a member of the Willow Run Dolphin Swim Team? The Greater Forsyth Swim League and Willow Run Dolphins will once again use Swimtopia for the upcoming season. Details about the season are still being worked out, so stay tuned for more information. If you have swim team specific questions, please send an email to willowrundolphins@gmail.com. We would like to welcome Rich Woodside and Ken Bush as our GFSL reps this year!
Everyone loves a pool party! The pool is available for members during and after pool hours to rent for birthday parties, youth groups, sports teams, meetings, or get-togethers with friends and/or family.
