Beech Fork is an outdoor pool with a lovely deck that surrounds the pool and provides a picturesque scene for relaxing and enjoying a day by the water. It is one of the most picturesque and unique community pools in the area and is a great place for residents to socialize and connect with nature. However, sometimes it is a bit confusing to know if the pool is open or closed.

When Is The Pool Open?
The pool at Beech Fork is open from noon to 8 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 8 pm on weekends. However, this is not etched in stone and the pool may close at times due to weather conditions or if repairs are needed (i.e. water damage). The best way to find out if the pool is open or closed is to call the pool directly because sometimes this information is not readily available online.
How Are Swimmers Protected?
Beech Fork uses an electronic gate that closes automatically when a device with a radiofrequency tag is near the pool. When a person approaching the pool from the deck area or the gate area waves a smartphone over the electronic reader, the gate will open automatically. This allows for convenient swimming for people living near or visiting the area, but also protects the pool from unauthorized access. The electronic reader also alerts pool management as to who is coming in and going out of the pool area. Swimmers must be at least 14 years old to operate the electronic gate (if this is the case, then the pool is open to the public without restriction).
Where Can I Park?
There is ample street parking near the pool. However, there is also a town parking lot a short walk away that provides better accessibility and more room to park. The only thing to keep in mind is that there is no parking lot closer than the street, so finding a spot can be difficult during peak hours. Alternatively, bike lanes and walking paths make it easier for people living in the area to get around without having to worry about parking too much. For those traveling by car, the deck of Beech Fork provides a place to park and make a few phone calls without worrying about finding a space.
Is There Lifeguard Service?
Guard Angel is on duty at Beech Fork pool from noon to 8 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 8 pm on weekends. However, as this is a volunteer position, it is not always clear if there is one on duty or not. During the week, some days there may be a lifeguard on duty and other days there may not be any. It is best to check the posted schedule (available at the pool office) to see what hours the lifeguards are available and if there is a charge for the service (it is not always free). Another option is to call the pool directly to ask if anyone is available to watch over the pool.
Can I Bring My Pets?
Pets are generally not allowed inside the pool area of Beech Fork. This is because some of the animals are dangerous and could potentially cause harm to humans or other creatures if they were to jump in. The only exception is if the animal is on a leash and is well behaved around people and other pets. This is generally not the case, however, so it is better to keep animals out of the pool area altogether.
Is There Entertainment Along The Rive?
There is an outdoor movie night scheduled once a month at the Beech Fork Community Center. On these nights, a movie is shown on a big screen television set up on the lawn in front of the theater, and food and drinks are served. This is one of the only activities that takes place at Beech Fork during the week, so it is a great way for residents to socialize and meet new friends.
Are There Any Special Events?
Beech Fork has many special events throughout the year, some of which are community pool parties and other events that are for specific sports teams or clubs. Check the bulletin board near the pool for more information.
One of the biggest community events is the Holiday Open House that takes place in early December. It is a great place to socialize with friends and family, and it also features some of the best vendors the area has to offer. The festivities include a swimsuit contest (for women), an egg-decorating contest, a family costume contest, and food and drinks by the pool. This event is typically held outdoors but depending on the weather it may move indoors. There is also live music and DJs, so visitors can dance and socialize too.
Beech Fork also holds an annual fundraiser called the Bluegrass Bazaar in April. This event takes place at the Beech Fork Community Center and offers local businesses the opportunity to showcase their products and services. There are also food trucks, live music, and entertainment for families and friends to enjoy. This event is aimed at raising money for different charities and organizations that are close to the hearts of the community. The center’s gym is transformed into a circus gym for the day, and attendees can choose from hundreds of different handcrafted items from local artisans.
Is There Anything Else I Should Know?
As I mentioned above, there is a lot more to Beech Fork than meets the eye. It is a great place to live and a hub for many social activities for locals and visitors alike.
