To reduce the risk of vandalism, pool hours for all residents are 10 to 10. The gate will be locked at 10 p.m. each evening. If you are driving by the pool after hours and see mystery guests, please contact J.D. Land at 880-0315.



This year we also have a committee helping to oversee the pool. If you are interested in joining the committee, please contact Chris Mauzey 891-9501, Don Emerson 880-4642, or Nancy Robbins 880-6645.



If you have not received a key to the pool, please call J.D. Land at 880-0315 to pick up your key. With the increasing number of residents, the gate will no longer be unlocked. Attendants have also been instructed not to let in pool goers who forgot their key.



For your safety and as a courtesy to other members, please refrain from bringing any glass objects into or around the pool area. If you do, you will kindly be asked to leave. To ensure we have a safe and enjoyable summer, please follow the remainder of the rules posted at the pool.
