2020 Meadowglen Pool

Based on the pool survey and the desires of the community for the pool to open, the Board is pleased to announce that the pool will officially be opening on July 1. At the June meeting, the Board officially voted to open the pool. We have secured a company to do the cleaning and check-in, and the Board has worked hard to setup the pool to ensure social distancing and cleanliness.

The survey had 85 unique respondents with 84% of those responding that they did want the pool to open. There were lots of great questions and concerns raised that helped the Board make their decision and even change some proposed rules. Please check out our FAQ to find answers to commonly asked questions.

The reservation system is live and can be found at www.meadowglen-hoa.com under the Meadowglen Pool menu. You will need to create an account with our new reservation system and then input your family members. When you make a reservation, you can select which time block and which family members will be attending. You will need to accept our waiver (click here for full text) to use the pool which is accomplished by accepting the Terms of Use during the reservation.

As a reminder, there will be no lifeguards this year, so swim at your own risk. We will have a cleaning company on site that will help check you into your reservation, ensure social distancing is happening, and clean high-touch surfaces hourly. They cleaning company may also close the pool during inclement weather and early on July 4th (6 PM). They will cancel all reservations during those times.
