How do I obtain a pool key?

For safety and security of our residents, a key is required to gain access into the pool area. Keys will only be issued to confirmed residents/property managers. To obtain a key, contact [email protected]. Residents who move out of the neighborhood must return their key or pass it to the new residents. The first key is no charge, additional keys are $5.

Note that the same keys are required to open the bathrooms as well.

When is the pool open?

The Summerfield community pool is typically open April 1 through October 30.

Pool hours are from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm

During the off-season, the pool and restrooms are locked for safety and security reasons. In the event of unseasonably hot weather in the off-season, the pool may be opened for homeowners to enjoy.

How does the heating system work?

We have a *passive* solar heating system that uses sunlight to raise the temperature of the pool above what would otherwise be the normal temperature – it will begin to warm up the pool but it requires that the sun be out and that the nights not be overly cold. The system will continue to warm up until it reaches a preset temperature (82 degrees). The installation of this system allowed us to open the pool a full 2 months earlier than it had been previously.

What are the pool rules?

Children, ages 14 and under, must be supervised by an attending parent or an adult that has assumed that responsibility. The supervising adult must be at least 18 years old. There is no lifeguard on duty!

What is the address of the pool?

12841 Oakfield Way, Poway CA 92064

What do I need to know if I want to host a party for my friends and family at the pool commons area?

If you plan on having a pool party, it is your responsibility to clean the pool area after your party. That includes all food items and trash off of the tables and pool deck. It is also your responsibility to haul your trash home. We keep extra bags at the bottom of the trash can so you can leave the trashcan ready for the next group. We operate on the honor system, but if the pool area is not sufficiently cleaned after each party, we will require a cleaning deposit for all parties. Please remember when hosting a party at our pool, adequate adult supervision is paramount. We, the homeowners, as an association will bear the consequences if there is an accident or injury.

The pool and lawn area cannot be reserved for exclusive use.

The pool and lawn area cannot be reserved for a commercial purpose.

Any homeowner wanting to setup a party should fill and return the attached form (or photos/scans): Agreement for Use of Pool / Common Area for Owner Parties

LIABILITY

California Civil Code Section 1365.9 was intended by the Legislature to offer civil liability protection to owners of the separate interest in the common interest development that have common areas owned in tenancy-in-common if the association carries a certain level of prescribed insurance that covers a cause of action and tort. It further provides that any cause of action in torts against any owner of a separate interest arising solely by reason of an ownership interest as a tenant-in-common in the common area of a common interest development shall be brought only against the association and not against the individual owners of the separate interest, if both of these insurance requirements are met: (1) the association maintain and have in effect for this cause action, one or more policies of insurance which include coverage for general liability of the association, and (2) the coverage is at least three million dollars ($3 million) if the common interest development consists of more than one hundred separate interest. Summerfield Homeowners Association has liability insurance coverage of $3 million for the common areas. (See Summerfield CC&Rs: Article VII, Section 8.)
