We look forward to welcoming you back into our facilities.
NEW SAFETY GUIDELINES During the initial phase of reopening, several new procedures are in place: • Facility hours have been modified to 6:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., MondayFriday and 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday • Temperature checks will be done on anyone entering the facilities • When inside our facilities, we strongly recommend that you wear a mask • Maintain 6 feet of social distance • Use provided wipes to clean off equipment after use • Limit your workout to 60 minutes to allow others use of the facilities • No daily drop-in guest passes sold In addition, capacity will be limited in the recreation centers (this will include the number of people participating in programs and camps, as well as using workout equipment). If you arrive and the building is at full capacity, you may need to wait outside for entry. We are working diligently to provide a clean, safe environment for you, but with all things related to COVID-19 there is inherent risk. It is up to you to choose to use the HRCA amenities, knowing that you assume risk when gathering with other people and visiting other facilities.
