Amenity Opening Update
All LW outdoor amenities remain open under emergency operating procedures drafted by the GRF COVID-19 Ad Hoc Committee. The GRF reopened amenities on Jan. 27, after a vote of the GRF Board Jan. 26. Amenities had been closed for a second time as of Nov. 25, when COVID-19 cases began to surge.
Except for Mission Park, all venues require reservations. Mission Park does not require reservations but is being monitored remotely and by the custodian.
At the golf course, a course marshal will monitor play to ensure golfers are abiding by the rules and COVID-19 restrictions. Even with restrictions in place, lots of golfers are enjoying the fresh air and sunshine while indulging in their favorite sport. The recently modified rules can be found on page 14 of this issue, and copies are available in English and Korean at the starter shack.
The Recreation Department, which coordinates the GRF Vaccine Taskforce, is focusing primarily on that project until completion. Since Clubhouse 6 is being utilized for those clin- ics, registration for the Fitness Center has been temporarily put on hold.
Staff will update the community as the situation unfolds.
In the meantime, check out http://www.lwsb.com/fitness-centertutorials/ to learn how to use the new equipment via a series of tutorial videos, so you’ll be able to hit the ground running when the new Fitness Center opens.
Once it does, you will be able to access complete instructions for all machines except the circuit training from your smartphone.
The attendant will show you how to link the machine’s video presentation to your phone, or you’ll be able to check out an iPad to learn while you work out.
The COVID-19 Ad Hoc Committee, which drafts emergency procedures for reopening amenities under COVID restrictions, will continue to look at opening other amenities according to CDC guidelines and regularly update the community.
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 4.
Dance and exercise classes have resumed at Veterans Plaza on their previous schedules.
Contact the Recreation Department if you are interested in particular activities or contact information for clubs and their instructors.
Updates to all amenity statuses will be published in the LW Weekly as well as on LW Live as they become available.
