Several weeks ago, we communicated to you that we could not commit to a firm opening pool date due to the current crisis. As promised, we have continued to review guidance and observe the gradual reopening of the state. Currently, we are announcing the initial opening of the Liberty Square Pool for 2020. The pool will open on June 20th.
This year, we will have some extremely specific new rules posted due to the current recommendations. These rules are:
- INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A FEVER OR OTHER SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 SHALL NOT ENTER THE POOL AREA.
- GOOD HAND HYGIENE, INCLUDING HAND WASHING OR HAND SANITATION, IS REQUIRED.
- HANDSHAKING AND UNNECESSARY PERSON-TO-PERSON CONTACT IS PROHIBITED.
- SOCIAL DISTANCING OF NON-COHABITATING PERSONS IS REQUIRED.
- POOL CHAIRS WILL BE PLACED SIX FEET APART WHICH WILL BE MARKED ON THE POOL DECK. IF YOU MOVE A CHAIR TO SIT NEXT TO A COHABITATING PERSON, PLEASE RETURN THE CHAIR TO ITS ORIGINAL PLACEMENT.
- RESIDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO SANITIZE ALL POOL EQUIPMENT TOUCHED BEFORE AND AFTER USE.
- POOL TOYS AND FLOATS ARE PROHIBITED.
- NO GUESTS ARE ALLOWED. POOL USAGE IS FOR LIBERTY SQUARE RESIDENTS ONLY.
- POOL HOURS WILL BE 10AM – 8PM
As there is inherent risk to using any public facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, residents choosing to utilize the pool facilities are acknowledging the following risk, which will be clearly posted at the entrance:
ALL PERSONS ENTERING THESE FACILITIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING AND UTILIZING THESE FACILITIES, THEY MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH CORONAVIRUS, SARS-COV-2 AND COVID-19, AND PERSONS WHO HAVE CONTRACTED SAME. ALL PERSONS ENTERING THESE FACILITIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING, UTILIZING AND OCCUPYING THESE FACILITIES, THEY MAY CONTRACT CORONAVIRUS, SARS-COV-2 AND COVID-19, WHICH IS KNOWN TO CAUSE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS, PNEUMONIA, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND DEATH. BY ENTERING, UTILIZING AND OCCUPYING THESE FACILITIES, ALL PERSONS DO SO AT THEIR OWN SOLE VOLITION AND RISK HAVING FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE RISKS INHERENT IN ENTERING AND UTILIZING THESE FACILITIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
The ban on visitors and pool floats is unique to this year and is an unfortunate consequence of the pandemic. Pool floats include such “water toy” items as floating loungers, pool noodles, inflatable tubes, etc. Floats such as life jackets or vests intended to assist in the buoyancy of children will still be allowed. Please also minimize the number of items you bring to the pool area with you.
We ask that you please abide by these new rules, as well as the following existing pool rules:
Liberty square residents acknowledge having received a key for usage of the pool and tennis court amenities and acknowledge the following are the accepted rules for usage of those areas:
- Glass is not allowed in the pool area

Pool keys will not be exchanged this year in order to avoid unnecessary person to person contact. If you have last year’s amenity key, it will work this year.
