A reminder of the pool rules...
To keep the pool safe and enjoyable for Association members, please keep a few things in mind this summer.

• Pool hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. 

• Use of the pool is always "swim at your own risk." Lifeguards will be on duty during the weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. All other hours will be unsupervised. Please be careful!

• Use of the pool is open to Mount Vernon Woods Community Association members who are current on their 2025 dues. A key fob is required to unlock the gate. If you have trouble with your key fob or need a new one,  contact pool chair Paul McCabe. Please do not open the gate for anyone who does not have a key fob.

• Minors must be accompanied and supervised at all times. 

• Bathrooms will be locked overnight and on days when a lifeguard is not on duty. The code is 2 + 4 (pushed at the same time), then 3. Please close the bathroom doors when you leave if no one else is at the pool.

• We do not use outside help to clean up the pool deck. Make sure to pick up after yourself and dispose of all trash before you go, especially food and drinks, to keep insects and other pests at bay. 

Amenity improvements: new pool deck 

We've recently completed a big project at the pool: a refreshed concrete deck. Crews fixed low spots and cracks and laid a fresh deck around the pool and baby pool. The finished project looks great! Special thanks to Paul McCabe, our pool chairperson, who headed up this complicated project, and Jan Hodgson, who lent her design expertise to the decision-making process.

Amenity improvements: resurfaced courts, refreshed bathrooms 

Keeping our neighborhood amenities in great shape is a high priority, so we’re happy to share that recently:

• The bathrooms at our tennis and pickleball courts have been improved with fresh paint and new cabinets.  

• Drainage issues surrounding the courts have been resolved and the walkways now have fresh rock.

• The work to resurface and reline the courts has been completed.
