Default Is the Lofts pool a family pool?

I just called TV rec department to find out if the Lofts pool is a family pool. My grandkids are coming, and it would be nice to go to a pool where you can just walk into the water.


The rec department gave me a message saying it is closed to the public, and due to the governors order #20-91, all rec centers, courts, pools, and outside facilities are closed.


So... that's obviously incorrect. Does anyone know if the Lofts pool is a family pool, or who else should I try to call to find out?


My friends think it's a family pool because the renters of the Lofts would want to have their grandchildren there. But I would like to know for sure before disappointing a four- and one-year-old.

The pool at Fenney recreation center is a “walk in” type pool, I believe. Not sure if usage is limited to adults.

Just say....Whoops. This is the wrong pool and drive to another one close by. Little ones have always enjoyed the pool that was right behind our house when we lived in Hadley... The Odell pool. There are dozens like it that children can be safely carried into the shallow end.

The Governor’s executive order 90-91 was issued April 1st. I’m guessing that the Rec Department just hasn’t updated its message, or somehow inadvertently defaulted to that old message. The District’s main page (districtgov dot org) does have announcements about storm prep, so pools may be closing.
Fenney’s pool is great for kids, and you also can take them on the short nature walk there to see some Florida wildlife. Good casual place to eat there too.

Do you think this answer is due to the potential hurricane coming? All the gates are removed. Golf courses are closing this afternoon (11/11). Maybe the person was giving you that closure update.

I hope that was the case, cause it is a family pool. However it’s small, and I would say Fenny pool is much larger

I wondered that too after I read that TV was closing things up. I think because they mentioned governor's order, it might be that they just reused that message.


Can someone tell me how to get from BV & 466A to the Fenney pool?

The pool behind the Fenney Grill is a family pool

I realize you are maybe closer to The Lofts, but if all fails, remember the pool in Fenny at the restaurant is a zero gravity, is open for families, and also food available, so nice choice for a day with visitors and so nice for younger children.
