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. 🏖️👙
