Kay Yeomans, historian for Upper Saddle River, has fond memories of Anona Lake, built by her husband's grandfather in 1929. anona was sold to a developer in 1968 and is now a part of a homeowner's association that has added tennis courts.
BLASTS FROM THE PAST ... Bergen County As It Once Was!!! Take a trip down memory lane and dine in the Chimes Restaurant in Paramus; shop at Packard's in Hackensack; or take in a movie at the Oritani Theater - all just a sample of Bergen County's iconic past.

REMEMBERING... "Upper Saddle River's Anona Park"
Circa 1930: Bathers enjoying the sun, sand and some ice cream cones at Upper Saddle River’s Anona Park.🍦For a good part of the 20th century, residents and tourists who frequented Bergen County's sand-bottom pools enjoyed swimming, having a boxed lunch picnic, staying after dark to enjoy a family movie and listening to music and dancing on wooden-plank floors placed beneath a string of lights that swung in the summer breeze. 🎶 Some of the pools are gone, but several community-based sand-bottom pools still dot Bergen’s landscape. 🏖️👙
