Maplewood Pool Party

Hey friends,

Does anyone know if it's possible to reserve a picnic table for a small family party at the Maplewood Community Pool? Or is it a first-come, first-served sitch?

TIA!

I know that you can reserve them for birthday parties (at a cost).  Not sure about a family party.

Here's the info from the pool website for this year --- every year the party costs and details seem to change.

If you are interested in hosting a pool party call the Recreation Department in advance to make sure that the date you are requesting is available. 

The Birthday Party Package includes:2 hour reservation of the picnic table area on the lower grass area
1 slice of pizza per child, soda, water or juice for 15 children
2 lifeguards will help organize games of: limbo, water balloon toss, musical chairs, splash contest in Diving Tank, and relay races
Games are customized based on the age/swimming level of children

We did a DIY party two years ago at the tables at a time that was NOT listed for official bday parties. But there was a limit to the number of non-pool-member guests I was allowed to bring in. I got there very early, and found another group there also wanting to do a DIY party. It was a bit stressful, but we ended up sharing the table area.  (I used the long tables and the other party used the hexagonal ones).
