In the past couple days, there have been countless questions and concerns shared regarding the pool, via email to the board and on the Nextdoor app. For those that would like to discuss your concerns directly, we are holding an emergency meeting at the pool building at 7:00 p.m., Monday, July 1.

With summer weather ramping up and with WGC members eager to finally enjoy this amenity, here are a couple items to address topics in question:

• WHAT ARE THE POOL HOURS? Pool hours of operation are between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; and 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Friday night from 9:00 p.m. until close is reserved for HOA members 21 and older.
• WHAT DO I DO WHEN PEOPLE DON’T HAVE THEIR KEY AND ASK TO BE LET IN? All WGC HOA members in good standing have received a pool key and can access the pool during open hours. If individuals come to the pool and cannot produce a key, DO NOT let them in, regardless of their excuse (i.e., another family member has it, they lost it, etc.). Replacement key cards can be requested by emailing woodsatgrassycreek@gmail.com and paying the associated fee.
• WHAT DO I DO WHEN PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE POOL ILLEGALLY, e.g., BY OPENING THE DOOR WITHOUT A KEY OR JUMPING THE FENCE? Access to the pool without a key IS TRESPASSING. If you see this behavior in person, let the individual(s) know that they are actively trespassing, and that you will call the police if they do not cease and desist. If individuals continue to ignore, call the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s East Division at (317) 327-6200 to report trespassing. Just make sure you are being courteous when engaging individuals in these situations.
• WHAT DO I DO IF POOL VISITORS ARE BRING RUDE, SMOKING, USING PROFANITY or OTHERWISE ACTING INAPPROPRIATELY? Every HOA member has the right and responsibility to say something if inappropriate activities are taking place at the pool. If for some reason you feel threatened or bullied as a result of your action, contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s East Division at (317) 327-6200 to report your concern. Again, ensure you are being courteous when engaging individuals in these situations.
• SHOULD CHILDREN BE AT THE POOL BY THEMSELVES? Children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older.

The HOA board is having discussions around ways to deter individuals from reaching over the door and entering without a key, as well as other challenges. As soon as a solution is identified, we’ll put it into place. In the meantime, this is a homeowners’ association, which means ALL homeowners in the association must take responsibility make this neighborhood a good place to live and speak up when things aren’t right. We appreciate your partnership to help make the pool a place everyone continues to enjoy for years to come!

As always, if you have further questions or concerns, please email your board at woodsatgrassycreek@gmail.com.
