A 2.6 acre swimming area nestled in 6.64 acres of parkland has been enjoyed by the residents of Ridgewood NJ for 80 years. This unique wetlands area which is in the center of a floodplain, near a brook, is in danger of being demolished and replaced with a concrete pool. The Preserve Graydon Coalition, a grassroots organization of well over 1,000 and growing steadily, is fighting to preserve this gem in the center of town.
