COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT:
As the state mandates begin to lift and businesses prepare to re-open, the Victoria Park Community Council Board of Trustees and Evergreen Lifestyles Management Team are working on the best approach for reopening our community and amenities, all while taking every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of all residents, employees and the public at large.
We are closely following State and Federal Guidelines and Victoria Park will begin to re-open the amenities in phases as determined by the Board of Trustees and in an abundance of caution, may not follow the exact timing of government orders.
During Phase One, social distancing guidelines must be met including six feet separation from others and no gatherings of more than 10 people.
The Governor's order also states senior citizens
(65 Years and Older) and any person with underlying medical conditions are strongly encouraged to stay home to limit exposure to COVID-19.
We ask all residents to follow good hygiene practices outlined by the CDC, including frequent hand washing; sneezing or coughing into a tissue or the inside of your elbow; wearing face coverings and gloves as appropriate. We encourage all our residents to respect each other's space while using the amenities.
As we work through the various phases for reopening our community and amenities, please know you will receive more communication from us. Thank you for your continued support in helping us uphold the health and wellness of our community, residents, and staff. Additional details are listed below.
PHASE I - Current open amenities include the Pools in Victoria Commons, Victoria Trails and Victoria Oaks. Tennis and Pickle Ball Courts in Victoria Commons.
We are finalizing plans to re-open the Fitness Centers and Playgrounds and will send a separate e-blast with details early next week.
