Can I reserve the pool for parties?
Yes! Everyone loves a pool party! The pool is available for members during and after pool hours to rent for birthday parties, youth groups, sports teams, meetings, or get-togethers with friends and/or family. ALL parties must be reserved so we can provide adequate lifeguard coverage and deck space. Please note that dates, times, and number of guests are subject to pool guidelines and pool availability.
