As the mercury steadily climbs and grips the Bay Area, the residents of Litchfield Park, tucked snugly away with its usual sunny dispositions, are offering a way to beat the heat with an innovative twist on movie nights. Part of Litchfield Park's Dive In Movie Series, the community pool will be transformed into an outdoor theater for the opening night of "Moana 2." On May 24, visitors can take a dip and float carelessly, all while taking in the latest adventures from the celebrated Disney franchise.
The festivities are set to launch from 7:30 pm until 9:00 pm, with the gate opening at 7 pm sharp, ensuring swimmers ample time to stake out a spot in the pool. The admission fee is pegged at a modest $6 a pop, while the tiny tots, aged 3 and under, can get in with just $2 clutched in their little hands. And for the savvy swimmers with a valid Rec Center membership or pass, entry is a cool freebie. Just to make sure you remember, bringing your poolside entertainment in the form of floats, swim rings, and noodles is subject to the discerning eyes of the Aquatics Staff.
Those interested in grabbing tickets ahead of the event can do so online with a simple visit to the City of Litchfield Park website. However, should you be waving a membership card, you'll need to ring up the Rec Office and nab a code for those gratis tickets. Their line, should you need more details or wish to secure your spot telephonically, is open at 623-935-9040.
While dive-in movies are not a new concept, the city's clever nod to incorporating crowd favorites such as "Moana 2," adds an allure to the community event that a simple swim just can't rival. Indeed, families will likely flock to experience the magical tale unfurl across the screen while floating under the stars, an experience not easily forgotten, especially by the youngsters who only need to fork out $2. And while the cinematic experience is a treat, don't forget, the lifeguards and Aquatics Staff will ensure safety remains the top priority, without drowning out the fun.
