7. What is the height of the club house/fitness center? Will it cause the pool to be shaded?
The height of the condo/clubhouse building is 53 feet from poolside/ground level to the top of the roof. It is situated north of the pool and does not cause excessive shade. It blocks noise from I-20.

The Treadmills and elliptical machines have built in TV panels.
9. Do the restrooms have steam, sauna, etc?
No. The restrooms have several showers, sinks, toilets and changing areas. Each restroom also has a diaper changing area.
10. Is the clubhouse a place where a party could be held? Does it have a mini–kitchen facility (service area and refrigeration, sinks)?
The clubhouse consists of the fitness area, restrooms, office and vending area. Outside, the pool deck has a special area with tables, chairs, umbrellas, and sofas for picnics. There is no separate room for events, but the picnic area can be reserved for parties or gatherings.
11. Is the picnic area available for events? How do you reserve the picnic area? Will members be unable to use the space regularly because it has already been booked for events?
The picnic area is for members only, and a reservation request form can be obtained from the Pool Board. The Pool Board reviews and approves event requests on a case-by-case basis and focuses on not inconveniencing other members by over-booking the picnic area for events. Weekend reservations are discouraged as they are prime time for paying members.
12. Is there be a diving board?
No, there is not a diving board. The depth of the pool is only 5 feet so that many more bathers can be in the pool at the same time, and the maintenance costs are much less in terms of chemicals, water, heating, etc. A diving board would also increase liability and insurance costs and would require more lifeguard supervision.
