Kind Reminder – Pool Umbrellas

We’ve had several evenings recently where the pool umbrellas were left open, including one that remained open during a storm.

This creates safety concerns and can damage the umbrellas. Please be mindful when using the pool area. Close and wrap umbrellas when you’re finished so they stay in good condition for everyone.

If umbrellas continue to be left open, as they were this evening, they will be placed back into storage to prevent damage.

Thank you for helping keep our shared space safe and well‑maintained.

Fall 2026 – Spring 2027 New Pool Project

The 2026 pool season will be the last season of the current concrete pool at Trotter Chase.

This pool will be swimmable as is beginning Memorial Day Weekend and will close Labor Day Weekend.

Demolition is planned to begin in September 2026, with work to be completed by McIntire Pools & Landscape.

A new Thursday Pools Aspen fiberglass pool will then be installed. The pool will measure 16′ x 40′, with a depth ranging from 3’4″ in the shallow end to 5’10” in the deep end.

Features of the Aspen design include a 12-inch-deep tanning ledge, non-skid surface, extended bench seating, dual swim-outs, a courtesy ledge around the deep end, a wide-open swim lane, and auto-cover compatibility.

To learn more about fiberglass pools, please click here.

In addition to the new pool, all new equipment will be installed, including a Hayward pump, Hayward salt cell, sand filter, chlorinator, three MicroBrite color-changing lights, pool heater, updated concrete surfaces, an automation system for the pool cover (to help reduce maintenance costs), and an Integra automatic pool cover.

Additional updates will be shared as the project progresses.
