grill night

 

Summer is here and we will be firing up the grills on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the summer season at the Lochwood facility. 

Because the grill at Highlands is in the fenced area, it is available for your enjoyment during normal operating hours every day.

This year we will have a grill master on Friday evenings but Saturday evenings will be self-service. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or a first-timer, we’ve got you covered.
What to Expect:
  • Grills are available from 5:30-6:45PM will be available at Lochwood on Friday a Saturday evenings from Friday, May 23, through Labor Day Weekend. 
  • Propane Grills: Lochmere will supply the gas and grills, so all you need to bring is your food and appetite.
  • While we do have grilling utensils, please feel free to bring your own also.
  • Grill Update: We’ve recently serviced and cleaned the grills to ensure they’re in top-notch condition.

Pool season at Lochmere has finally arrived!  Opening day at the Lochwood Pools is Sunday, May 11th. 

For those of you who just want to relax around the pools, the Lochwood Pools will be open on their pre-season schedule during May and early June. Basically the Lap Pool opens at 2PM and the Main Pool opens at 4PM Monday through Friday and are both open regular hours on weekends.

The Highlands Pool will open for the Memorial Day weekend. 

All facilities (Lochwood and Highlands) will operate on their summer schedule starting Saturday, June 14.

Watch this website as well as your emails for updates on loads of events planned for the entire summer. 

To make sure everyone has an enjoyable season, you can read all about the pools and rules by visiting HERE.  Please remember that to be in the deep end:

  • Ten and under swimmers will be retested each year and receive a new band which will need to be worn whenever they are in the deep end.
  • Older swimmers will be tested at the discretion of the pool staff as warranted.

Operating hours for both facilities are listed on the right-hand side of this home page. Also visit  HERE for printable monthly calendars.
