Group Application/Reservation Rules
A group is a single gathering of 10 or more persons. All groups must register at least one (1) week prior to the gathering so the Board and the Caretaker can prepare facilities and provide adequate security and lifeguards. Registrations may not be made for the year until January 1st of that year, at which point they can be made on a first-come, first-serve basis.
