IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

INDOOR POOL   It's been brought to the attention of the management team that the exterior and locker room doors are being propped open. It is imperative that all of these doors remain closed to allow the Desert Air system to handle the air temperature and humidity. Please refrain from propping open any of these doors. Thank you in advance for helping us to keep the appropriate conditions for Desert Air to work properly.

DO I REALLY NEED TO SCAN MY CARD? If you're using the amenities at The Center, the answer is yes - this means even if you're using the tennis courts, bocce ball court, veranda, pool or horseshoe pit, you are required to scan in and out.
