Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!
We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The pool will open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, May 24 and 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. It will reopen the following weekend on May 31 and June 1 before transitioning to daily operations starting Friday, June 6.

But if you're not, that's fine too—we're confident in our mission and will be here if you decide you're ready for the truth. Just $5/month helps fund our local reporting, live election night coverage, and more.

Guests may bring their own coolers with food and beverages, as the pool does not maintain a regular concession stand, although a food vendor will be on site during weekends and holidays. Glass containers and alcoholic beverages are prohibited. In addition to daily swims, the facility is available for private party rentals on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with reservations handled through the Hagerstown YMCA.
For real-time updates on weather-related closures or pool capacity, patrons are encouraged to follow the Potterfield Pool’s official Facebook page or call the Parks & Recreation office.
