Pool Reservation Update

Dear Laureate Park Residents,
 
We would like to thank the residents who have called, or emailed, and provided feedback in regard to the Lake Nona App, reservation system, and the LP Aquatic Center procedures and restrictions. We appreciate your feedback.
 
These are unprecedented times, and we are constantly looking to find the right balance of resident safety and optimal use of the facility.  The majority of the responses that we have received has been positive, but we have also had some that want usage to be less restrictive.
 
We opened the LP Aquatic Center last week with safety in mind, first, as well as the understanding the need to monitor facility use, including the time in which residents arrived and the time in which residents exited.
 
Based on the feedback we have received, the following changes will take place beginning July 17, 2020:
 

1. The pool capacity will be increased from 100 residents per time slot, to 125 residents per time slot. 
2. The amount of time per reservation will be reduced from 4 hours to 3 hours. The intent is to provide flexibility to those that have afternoon reservations and may have to deal with afternoon rains.
3. A third time slot will be added. The first time slot will now be 8am to 11am, with the pool closed for cleaning from 11am to 12pm. The second time slot will be 12pm to 3pm, with the pool closed from 3pm to 4pm for cleaning. The final time slot will be from 4pm to 7pm.

 
We will continue to monitor the reservation level against actual usage of the facility, as well as all resident feedback. We anticipate that there may be future adjustments as we learn from the experience.
 
Please note, as we continue to enhance the LP Aquatic Center, on July 20th and July 21st reservations will not be taken and the pool will be closed. The beach volleyball area, along with the hammock area by the kid’s pool, will be having new sand installed. The newly sodded entrance circle will be having required top dressing and grading work completed. Due to the heavy machinery involved with this work, we could not safely have the pool open.
 
We once again thank everyone for their continued patience and understanding during this unusual process.
 
Thank you,
