The pool was officially open, there were certainly lifeguards there. The only kindness someone showed us was to let us drive through the side entrance near the pool because my mother's disability. This is not unlike what Parks & Rec. did for my mother at Greenwich Point, when they granted us a pass to drive past the second concession to get to the picnic area. My brother, Jeff Bowman, arranged for someone to let us drive through the other gate, so frankly I don't know who arranged for that. I hope I didn't give the wrong impression about rule-bending at Byram Park, but you can take comfort from the fact that only 3 other people (my wife, my father and my sister) read this blog. Thanks, John Good point and I probably over-simplified the story. The pool was officially open, there were certainly lifeguards there.

It is possible that someone from the beach crew let you in early without my knowledge. I don't want to set a president where the public feels they can set thier own rules on operation of the Byram Park pool. Sincerely, Anthony Chiappetta Byram Park Foreman.
