Rental AREAS

The facility offers two spacious picnic areas for rent by the club’s membership or those who receive sponsorship from a club member. Each area can be reserved for the Afternoon or the Evening time slot and parties must conclude and leave the area clean and organized before the next reserved time slot. A club member in good standing must make the reservations and that member is required to be present for the duration of the scheduled event.

These areas, when reserved, are designated for use by the renting party for the duration of the Afternoon or Evening time slot.

Rental Area ONE

This area is perfect for parties of up to 80 guests. It is adjacent to the parking lot fence, the main building (and bathrooms) and the larger lap pool. It comes with 10 round metal tables and 50 metal chairs. Do not move or use tables/chairs from other areas of the club. The circular grass is not considered part of this reserved area. Your event-specific items cannot be set up here.

Rental Area TWO

This area is perfect for parties of up to 50 guests. It is adjacent to the volleyball court, the kids sandbox, and the always popular dive pool. It comes with 7 round metal tables and 35 metal chairs. Do not move or use tables/chairs from other areas of the club.

Reservation Types

Impromptu Parties:
Impromptu Parties are gatherings at the pool within standard hours. These parties may make use of all club facilities that have not been reserved or placed “off limits” by lifeguard staff. Non-members must register with the lifeguard staff, pay a daily membership fee of $5, and must be in the company of a club member.

Reserved Parties: Reserved Parties are gatherings at the pool within standard hours for which arrangements have been made to reserve either Area One, the covered area nearest to the parking lot, or Area Two, the covered area adjacent to the diving pool. Afternoon reserved parties are limited to a maximum of 4.5 hours.

Reserved Parties Rental Fees

Members	$5
Guests	$5
Minimum Fee	$175

At the time you reserve your party:

A $175 minimum fee must be paid in order to complete the online reservation. This fee includes 25 members/guests. Every additional member/guest beyond 25 will cost $5 more per person. If online payment is not made within 15 minutes, the reservation will be released.
If the party is canceled within 30 days of the event, $50 will not be refunded.
If the party is canceled within 7 days of the event, $75 will not be refunded.
During the online reservation, the party must enter the estimated number of people attending (guests and members) and pre-pay accordingly.
Please be aware that cancellations or changes for your event is done manually by volunteer board members. This may take some time, but rest assured your change or refund will happen!
The red borders indicate the area that is for your exclusive use. All space outside the area should not be reserved and is considered "general space" for all members.
Only the tables and chairs within the red borders are for your exclusive use. Furniture outside the red borders are for general member use. Do not move any additional tables/chairs to your area.
The side parking lot gate is not to be used for entry nor exit. This door is alarmed and a siren will activate, shutting down the club. All members and guests must enter/exit through the front gate. If you have a need to pass through the side gate, please indicate on your registration form. Requests made on the spot may not accommodated, depending on staff availability.
If you have a vendor (ex: food cart, party entertainment) attending, you must make arrangements prior to your event with the manager and operations director. Parking lot access can be temporarily allowed with the side gate. We need advance notice to disable the siren on this gate.
Please carefully read the cleaning expectations below! Clean the area as if it were your own home! You will be agreeing to the terms of the rental policy.
At the conclusion of your event, please meet with the head lifeguard who will fill out the exit form which is your certification that the area is cleaned up to expectations.
If the Cabana staff believes that the estimated number of people attending is greater than was reserved and paid for, the Cabana reserves the right to charge extra guest fees. The additional fees are due immediately.
Ensure that your guests understand the rules of the cabana and pool.

Member Responsibility

The member reserving the event assumes full responsibility for the conduct and actions of all guests while on club property. Any damage to club property or failure to comply with established cleanup standards will result in the reserving member being held financially liable.

Depending on the severity of the incident, the club reserves the right to impose additional disciplinary measures. These may include, but are not limited to, monetary fines, suspension or revocation of rental privileges, and/or termination of membership.

Event Rules and Guidelines

Water balloons are not permitted. Reusable water balloons are allowed.
Glitter and confetti are strictly prohibited.
Any items that create debris on the ground or grass and cannot be easily and completely removed are not allowed. If all debris cannot be fully cleaned up, additional charges will apply. This list is not exhaustive—please use good judgment when selecting event materials.
Adults must supervise children at all times and ensure they are behaving appropriately and following all club rules.
Bounce houses and large equipment that exceed the boundaries of your reserved area are not permitted. If you wish to have large items for your event, you must pre-arrange with club management.

Flotation devices are permitted at the discretion of the lifeguards. Any device deemed unsafe must be removed immediately upon request.
All food vendors and entertainers must be pre-approved by management through the rental coordinator.
The reserving member is responsible for ensuring that all guests understand and follow club rules. Any violations by guests will be charged to the member’s account.
The reserved area must be fully vacated and left clean, with all trash removed and the space restored to its original condition, by the end of the reservation time.
Lifeguards on duty are the authority on club premises. All instructions must be followed. Lifeguards have the authority to remove any member or guest who does not comply with the rules.

Cleanup and Post-Event Requirements

All tables and chairs must be returned to their original positions. Red ground markers indicate proper table placement. Each table must be arranged with five (5) chairs.
All decorations, trash, and event materials must be fully removed.
- Do not staple or pin anything to wooden structures.
- Tape or string may be used but must be completely removed after the event.
- Do not attach or hang anything from light fixtures or security cameras.
All debris on the ground and grass must be completely removed.
If propane grills are used:
- Grill grates must be thoroughly cleaned of grease and residue.
- Any damage caused by fire or improper use will result in a $1,200+ replacement fee.
- If you are not experienced with open-flame grills, you are strongly advised to seek assistance. Improper use poses a serious fire hazard.
Treat the property with care and respect. The cleanliness standard is that of a private home, not a public park.
At the conclusion of your event, you must check in with the head lifeguard to confirm that cleanup meets club standards. Keep your copy of the exit form for your records.
