Can I fish, swim, or skate on the community lakes?
No. The community lakes are not for recreational use — swimming is not allowed, and walking or skating on the frozen lakes is prohibited.
Is there a tennis court and playground, and what are the rules?
Yes. The tennis court is for residents and their guests only (it is not a public facility), generally open from mid-April through mid-September, and proper tennis shoes are required. The playground is intended for children under the age of 12 and is open from 8:00 a.m. until dusk.
Can I reserve the pool for a private party?
No. The pool cannot be reserved for private use, and reserving the clubhouse does not include private use of the pool.
Can I reserve the clubhouse, and what does it cost?
Yes. The Wood Lake clubhouse can be reserved by residents through your Resident Center account, or by contacting our office at (314) 380-3100. It may be reserved at no charge for resident meetings and events, and is also available for private parties. The maximum is 60 people, use is limited to the upstairs, and it may not be used for commercial activities. A pre-party inspection is required before a key is issued, and the key must be returned with a post-party inspection within 24 to 48 hours after the event; a $100 fine applies if the key is not returned on time. A signed reservation agreement, the rental fee, and a security deposit are required to reserve.
What are the pool rules?
The complete rules are posted at the pool. The most important ones are:
- No smoking, alcohol, or drugs are permitted in the pool area.
- No pets are allowed in the pool area.
- No running or boisterous play.
- Place all trash in the receptacles before leaving, and close any umbrellas you used.
- Your pool key also opens the restrooms.
Does the pool have lifeguards or attendants on duty?
No. There is never a lifeguard or attendant on duty; you swim at your own risk at all times. Children must be supervised by a responsible adult.
How many guests can I bring to the pool?
Each resident unit may have up to six people total (residents and guests combined) at the pool at one time, and a Wood Lake resident must accompany their guests at all times.
How do I access the pool?
The pool is for residents only. Residents in good standing are issued a key to the pool area and must have it with them to enter, and both gates must be kept closed at all times. If you need a key, contact our office through the Resident Center or at (314) 380-3100. Owners who are delinquent on their assessments lose amenity privileges until the balance is paid in full.
When is the pool open?
The pool is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, as permitted by the St. Louis County Department of Health. There is no lifeguard on duty; you swim at your own risk. The pool is for residents in good standing only and is not open to the public.
How do I dispose of a large or bulk item, like a mattress or furniture?
Large or bulk items are not collected with your regular trash service, and our trash hauler’s charges for bulk-item pickups are substantially higher than other options. Because of that added cost, we recommend using an independent junk-removal service instead. Our office generally refers residents to GI Junkers, who can be reached at (314) 568-3530 or gijunkersstl[AT]gmail.com (replace [AT] with the @ symbol when emailing). You are, of course, free to use any hauler you prefer. Please do not leave large items beside or on top of the dumpsters, as they will not be collected with the regular trash and create an overflow problem for the community.
Since my air conditioning condenser unit is on the outside, do I need to submit an architectural request to replace it?
You almost never need to submit an architectural request to replace the condenser unit for your air conditioning condenser unit. While the new unit may look different from the old one, this is not a matter of aesthetic concern. The only exception is if lines must be run to new locations, the outside breaker box must go in a new location, or the building must be altered in some other fashion. If you have a condenser on the ground and wish to mount it to the building off the ground, that would definitely require a request to be submitted. By in almost all cases, you do not need permission from the association to change your air conditioning condenser.
If your contractor insists upon a permission letter, call us at (314) 380-3100 or email us at service[AT]ajenning.com and we will gladly provide one. Replace the [AT] with the @ symbol when emailing. We publish email addresses online using [AT] instead of @ to prevent bots from scanning for email addresses and prevent spam.
