We want to hear from you!

Planning for the 2023 Summer Season is under way and we are busy scheduling all the activities and events that will happen at the pool. We would love to hear your ideas for the weekly food trucks and monthly movie nights.

Seeking food truck recommendations!

We would love your input on which food trucks to invite to our pool. If you know of an excellent food truck in the metro area, we’d love to contact them and invite them to Holmes Run Pool this summer. Simply use this form to tell us about your recommendation.

We invite trucks in early March, and they sign up fast, so tell us now so we can include your favorites.

Let’s watch a movie! What do you want to see?

Holmes Run Pool hosts a Family Movie Night once a month during the summer season and Teen Movie Night every August. We would love your input on what to show. Suggest some movies you’d like to watch on the lawn at the pool with your friends and family this summer.

Volunteers Needed

Now that the pool is officially closed for the season, our facility is being winterized. There are a few quick items that can be handled by member volunteers including moving the picnic tables and removing the deck canopies. We are looking for volunteers on Saturday morning at 10am to help with these items—with enough help, these tasks should be finished in 30-45 minutes. If you are able to help, please stop at the pool at 10am. Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you to the volunteers who helped organize the final event of the season, the fall pig roast: Jim Wright, Mark Sites, Seena Polivy, Bryan Hogge, Jason Kowalewski, John Schrock, Laura Champe Mitchell, and Barbara Foley. Thanks also to the many volunteers on the night of the event who helped with set up, tickets, clean up, and the pumpkin craft!

Survey results

Thank you to everyone who responded to the end-of-season survey. The most requested improvements are better umbrellas and bases and updating the bathrooms. The board is looking into these improvements and will be making plans this winter. If you are a contractor and would like to be considered in the bidding process, please contact Communications.

Look for an update from the Holmes Run Pool President, Mark Sites, after the New Year with more news. Memberships for next season will open in the spring. We look forward to seeing everyone back poolside next year!

May 19, 2021

We are excited to welcome everyone to the 2021 pool season starting May 29! Due to the Governor lifting restrictions on capacity and distancing week next, we are pleased to announce the pool will be operating under much more normal circumstances than last year. We welcome comments, questions, and suggestions as we gear up for a fun summer at the pool.

Pools: Reservations will not be required to swim in upper, lower, or baby pools. However, one lane in the upper pool will be available by reservation only in one hour time blocks. Instructions for reserving the lane, using the same system as last year, will be made available on our website.

Guest Passes: Members will be allowed to use guest passes only on weekdays until further notice.

Lawn: The lawn, picnic tables, playground, and basketball court will be fully open. Members may have food delivered to the pool.

Decks: Deck reservations will not be available until further notice. However members may use the decks on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Masks: Masks will not be required for members and pool staff while in the upper and lower pool houses, nor while outside on pool grounds, in line with the Governor’s announcement lifting the universal mask mandate effective May 14. We encourage members and staff to follow current CDC guidelines for mask usage for vaccinated/unvaccinated people.

2021 Season Covid-19 Impacts

We anticipate that new guidelines for outdoor pools will be issued by the governor by the beginning of May.  These guidelines will dictate our operational procedures.  Once received, the Board of Directors (BOD) will establish appropriate operating procedures and communicate them to you.

Guest Passes

The BOD has held discussions regarding the use of guest passes for the 2021 season.  It is our hope to allow the use of guest passes this season.  We do not expect to make a decision about the use of guest passes until we receive the guidelines from the governor and establish our operating procedures for the season.  The BOD also recognizes that our members from last year (2020) were not able to use their guest passes during the season.  We will look to find a way that our members from last season will be able to use their 2020 guest passes this year.

HELP WANTED! Open Board of Directors Positions

The HRARA Board of Directors currently has two open positions for any member looking to become more involved with the pool.  We are specifically interested in volunteers to assist in the areas of communication as well as engineering and maintenance.  If you are interested or would like to hear more about the BOD, please contact us through the website.

Sponsorships Available

The Board of Directors voted to permit sponsorships beginning this year.  Individuals and/or businesses may sponsor the association and will receive a link on our website and newsletters for the year.  If you are interested in learning more about a sponsorship, please contact us.

Cicadas

After 17 years, the cicadas will be visiting us all this summer.  Please understand that we cannot spray pesticide to prevent them from being on the property.
