 Mt. Kisco, NY - Back by popular demand, Westchester County Parks “Summer Movie Madness” pool and beach parties return with five great movies at five great parks this summer.
The blockbuster hit Horton Hears a Who! (2008 – G) kicks off the series on Tuesday, July 14, at Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers.
These popular after-hours pool and beach parties offer fun for the family with an old-fashioned barbecue, an outdoor movie, and swimming at all the pools. The fun begins with an all-you-can-eat barbecue of hot dogs, hamburgers, salad and more. Enjoy a dip in the pool, then watch a hit movie on a big screen under the stars.
The parties begin at 7 p.m.; the barbecue runs from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.; the movie begins at sundown. Bring your own blankets and chairs for seating on the lawn.
Admission is $10 per person, free for children under age 3. A Westchester County Park Pass is not required for admission to the party. Admission wristbands go on sale the day of the event and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. In case of rain, the event will be cancelled.
The series continues with a showing of Ironman (2008 -- PG-13) on Tuesday, July 21, at Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers; Inkheart (2008 – PG) on Wednesday, July 29, at Glen Island Beach in New Rochelle; Kung Fu Panda (2008 – PG) on Tuesday, August 4, at Willson’s Waves Pool in Mount Vernon; and The Tale of Despereaux (2008 – G) on Tuesday, August 11, at Saxon Woods Pool in White Plains.

Based on the popular 1954 children’s book by Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who! relates the story of an imaginative elephant (voiced by Jim Carrey) who hears a voice on a speck of dust floating in the jungle air and a whole new world opens up for him. Running time for the movie is one hour, 28 minutes.
Sprain Ridge Pool is located on Jackson Avenue in Yonkers and can be reached via the Sprain Brook Parkway.
“Summer Movie Madness” is sponsored by Westchester County Parks.
