Pavilion & Lake Info
Pavilion Reservation and Use Rules
Association members in good standing are permitted to use the Pavilion. A $50 deposit is required to insure the proper cleanup of the Pavilion and return of any items borrowed from the Association. If lake swimming is anticipated and the number of guests in excess of 25 people advance payment for additional lifeguards will be needed.
The reservation of the Pavilion does not grant the user exclusive use rights to any other Recreation Area facilities.
Contact Johnny Spears, the Recreation Area Manager, at 502-1458 to reserve the Pavilion. Current Pavilion reservations can be viewed on the Recreation Area Calendar. Be sure to review the calendar prior to your event.
Please note that use of Air Soft guns in the Recreation Area is prohibited. Reasons include risk of death caused by being shot by a real gun (these guns look real, especially when the yellow piece is removed) and damage to the facility. We have spent over $100 on repairs to the pavilion fans/bulbs due to the use of these guns. Parents will be held liable for these costs in the future since we have security cameras.
