Default Recreation centers

The opening of the recreation centers is mostly a joke. They do not allow you to do almost any function.

Yeah, I heard there was something going around that sort of dictates a degree of caution.

That was published through several outlets before they opened....you missed it? The purpose was to allow people a place to go read (change of scenery), sit on porch and get some air, use the wifi and meet friends (keeping social distancing). Doesn't always need to be a structured event to take advantage of the place.

I wouldn't have said it exactly that way but we agree entirely. My wife and stopped at Eisenhower to see what we might be able to do there and basically were told "nothing."

Do you have to also use your own balls because playing with someone else's balls can get you infected. You never know who handled them last.

Rec center balls. One hour per session. Balls cleaned after each session. Chalk available to check out at front desk. Must wear mask is my understanding.

My group has played last couple days, so I guess I need to buy a stick.

Assuming you are talking about billiard balls, they have 3 sets on the tables. Only 3 tables can be used, only 10 people can be in the room, and you can only play for 1 hour. Also, you need to bring your own pool cue and bridge, and I think you need to check out a piece of chalk. And, you must wear a mask at all times while in the building.

If you were not referring to billiard balls, then I would wash them and your hands before playing.

Everyone moved here because of the lifestyle. People also like the idea that there are rules that are monitored , mostly by trolls. It is terrible when we the rules are not what they want.

The rec centers were opened so that the first step could be taken. Opening the pools. More to come later. Everything seems logical and properly cautious to me.
