Ligonier Beach
Ligonier Beach is a western Pennsylvania tradition. With over 1.3 million gallons of water and a 400 by 125 foot long beach, Ligonier Beach claims fame to being the largest swimming pool in Pennsylvania. The beach has been serving-up fun for over 79 years. This historic landmark has entertained generations of residents and visitors from all over the nation.
Ligonier Beach, Opened on July 4th, 1925 was a famous summer hang-out for fans of big-band music. Dean Martin was at one time a towel boy at the beach where he began to sing along with the big bands. Perry Como also sang at the beach. Today you can experience The New sounds of the beach with many local bands playing for the enjoyment of guests.
The water is usually ice cold, being fed by the creek which runs alongside the pool. It also boasts an excellent restaurant, an adequate video arcade, a very tall non-water-slide emptying into the pool itself, and a ginourmous fountain emminating from the center of the pool.
Ligonier Beach was featured on the WQED production "Things That Are Still Here", meaning traditions and institutions that have survived the test of time and invention from back in the day till present.
