Governor Albert Bryan Jr. and the Office of the Governor invite residents and families to a Family Fun Day celebrating the reopening of the Vincent Mason Coral Resort, commonly known as the Frederiksted Pool. The event will take place on Friday, May 9, 2025, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The celebration marks the revitalization of one of St. Croix’s beloved recreational spaces and features an afternoon of fun activities for all ages. The pool will be open for swimming throughout the event, and attendees can enjoy live music, bounce houses, carnival games, a petting zoo, and more.
Children can enjoy free hamburgers and hot dogs, along with complimentary cotton candy, popcorn, and candy apples, all available while supplies last. Food trucks offering a variety of local cuisine will also be onsite with food and drinks available for purchase. The day will also feature a fire truck demonstration and exciting giveaways.
“We’re excited to welcome everyone to the Frederiksted Pool for an afternoon of fun, community, and healthy activity,” said Governor Bryan. “This Family Fun Day is not just about the reopening of the pool. It is about bringing the community back outside to enjoy these spaces like we did in years past. Technology has made it easier to stay connected when we are apart, but we also want to create opportunities for people to reconnect in person and enjoy the kind of moments that bring us closer together.”
Governor Bryan noted that the event is part of his administration’s Healthier Horizons initiative to improve and encourage greater use of public recreational spaces throughout the Virgin Islands.
“Our goal is simple. We want to support the health and wellness of our residents. By revitalizing these public spaces, we are investing in our people and the future of the Virgin Islands,” Governor Bryan said.
Friday’s Family Fun Day is made possible through the support of the Office of the Governor, Virgin Islands Police Department, Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency, Department of Sports, Parks and Recreation, Department of Tourism, Department of Health, Department of Human Services, Virgin Islands Army National Guard, Island Rides LLC, Farm Education for All, Elsweeta’s House of Sweets, J.
