Beat the Summer Heat at the Amenity Center

During these hot and steamy summer days, cool off with a family outing at the pool (bring along a guest) or get a refreshing workout in our fully air conditioned gym.

With enjoyment comes responsibility, however. We urge you to consider these important points:

• Take all personal items with you when you leave
• Place all unwanted trash containers
• Close umbrellas and place chairs back around tables
• Don't place loungers in walking areas around pool
• Keep children off walls and out of landscape beds
• Do not allow children to play with life preservers; they are only for emergencies

  Help us keep your center safe, clean and enjoyable for all.

Photo ID System

The only Identification accepted for residents using our Amenity Center (including: Clubhouse, Gym, Tennis Courts, Playground, Basketball Court, Pool Area and Soccer Field) is our Sanctuary-issued photo ID. If you do not have one, please see the office staff at the Clubhouse.
You must provide them with your Home Purchase Documents or your Lease Agreement. These Photo IDs are required for all adults and children 13 years and over. Lost IDs will cost you; keep them safe. Pool monitors and security staff are authorized to ask you for your Sanctuary ID and prohibit use of the center if you don't have your ID. The ID system is for your children's and your protection. Help us keep the Amenity Center safe and available for Sanctuary residents.
