Is smoking permitted at the pool?

Due to St. Louis County Health Department regulations for what are considered public water recreation facilities, smoking within the pool area is prohibited. You will need to step outside of the pool area to smoke.

 

The county classifies condominium swimming pools as public water recreation facilities. The fact that condominiums are technically a private entity is a matter of semantics, and does not relieve us of the requirement to have this prohibition in place.

Is alcohol permitted at the pool?

Yes, alcohol is permitted, but drink responsibly. Violation of pool rules and generally unsafe or disruptive behavior due to intoxication can result in penalties, including temporary or permanent revocation of pool access privileges.

 

Glass containers of any kind are prohibited for safety reasons. Providing alcohol to minors can lead to both revocation of pool privileges and a report to law enforcement.

Are there restrooms available at the pool?

Yes. The restrooms are accessible using a separate key. All owners were provided a copy of the key when the card system was installed in 2023. If you are a new homeowner, the key should have been given to you by the seller. If you need a replacement key, there is a cost of $10. This can be added to your account to be paid with your next monthly payment, and does not require payment in advance.

How many guests can I bring to the pool?

The total combination of permanent residents and guests for a given household is restricted to a maximum of 6 during off-peak times and 2 during peak times. Peak times are defined as weekends and the holidays of Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. A permanent resident age 18 or older must be present with guests at all times. Children 17 and under are never to be left unaccompanied, especially as there is no lifeguard on duty.

How do I access the pool?

The pool is accessed via an electronic lock system for which you will need to present a keycard. If you are a new homeowner, the previous homeowner should have left this card for you. If they did not, we can deactivate the one on file and send you a new one, but there is a cost of $10 for a replacement card. This charge does not need to be paid upon delivery and can be included with your next monthly assessment if you prefer.

 

Likewise, if you are an existing homeowner and your card was lost or damaged, there is also a $10 replacement charge, which can be added to your account and paid with your next monthly assessment.

 

Only one active card at a time is issued per household.
