Frequently Asked Questions
| I am a member here, and I want to bring my grandkids/kids' friends to the Rec Center. Am I allowed to do this? |
| Our current policies do not allow for grandparents to bring their grandchildren unless the grandchildren live with the grandparents as dependents. Our policy reads that we allow children in with parents who are members of the facility. It reads that "Children are only allowed in with their parents", which alleviates grandparents from bringing their grandchildren. |
| I am a member and my child wants to bring his/her friends here to spend the day. Can I do that? |
| Children under 18 can only be admitted with his/her own parent present; and that parent MUST be a member of the facility (i.e. Fac/Staff/Student/Member). |
| What are my kids allowed to use at the Rec Center? |
| As long as you are with them, they may use anything in the building, except the workout equipment on the weight room floor, and the cardio overlook on the second floor. But, YOU must check out equipment; we cannot allow minors to check out equipment for their own use. |
