To ensure fair and appropriate access to neighborhood pools, the District recently completed a Pool ID Compliance Study after receiving direction from the Amenity Authority Committee (AAC) and Project Wide Advisory Committee (PWAC). This review was conducted to better understand how pool access is working today and to identify practical ways to continue protecting amenities that are funded and enjoyed by residents.
Neighborhood pools are a valued community amenity, funded for the benefit of residents. The study was conducted to evaluate how consistently pool IDs are being checked, how effective current procedures are, and whether additional measures could improve compliance in a practical and cost-effective way.
Between mid-November and mid-December 2025, Recreation staff monitored pool access at four neighborhood pool locations. Staff conducted ID scans during normal operating hours over multiple days, allowing for a representative snapshot of pool usage across different locations and times.
During the study:
Hundreds of resident and guest IDs were scanned
The majority of pool users were compliant with access requirements
Only a small percentage of entries did not meet access guidelines
Overall, the results showed that existing procedures are largely effective, with opportunities to enhance consistency and visibility.
As the updated monitoring plan is implemented, staff will monitor how the changes are working and ensure procedures remain effective and resident-friendly. Pool access practices will continue to be reviewed over time to support fair use of community amenities and a positive experience for residents.
