AMENITY REOPENINGS

On March 29, Orange County reassessed COVID-19 statistics and moved to orange-tier restrictions, opening the door to expand use of amenities under less stringent requirements.

Here is the updated status of the following venues:

• Fitness Center, Phase 1-Motion passed, reopening April 12

The community can see the Emergency Operational Procedures for each venue at www.lwsb.com/emergencyoperational- procedures/.

These are preliminary procedures that will be modified over time with GRF Board approval as the threat of COVID-19 diminishes and Orange County proceeds to the yellow tier. As conditions warrant, the Recreation Department will continue to recommend reopening other amenities as well as modifying restrictions.

These Emergency Operational Procedures have been sent to volunteer supervisors where applicable, so people are advised to contact club presidents or instructors regarding rules for their particular amenity.

In an effort to expedite the reopening of the Fitness Center, registration will be done during the first visit. Residents should bring their GRF IDs and a towel to appointments, which can be reserved a day ahead at www.lwsb.com/reserve. Walk-ins and phone registrations are not permitted at this time. Qualified residents will be given a 45-minute workout reservation. Equipment will be disinfected between sessions. Complete rules are available at www.powerdms.com/ public/GoldenRain/documents/1868071.

Fitness tutorials on how to use the new equipment are available at www. lwsb.com/fitness-center-tutorials/. Also, residents will be able to access complete instructions for all machines (except the circuit training) from their smartphone. Fitness Center attendants will demonstrate how to link phone apps to machines’ tutorials, or people will be able to check out an iPad to learn while they work out.

Dance and exercise classes have resumed at Veterans Plaza on their previous schedules. Contact the Recreation Department for more information at (562) 4316586, ext. 326.

Under Phase 2, reservations will be available for vocal clubs and smaller religious services. Contact kathyt@ lwsb. com for information on availablity.

Mission Park is now in Phase 2, so doubles will be allowed on the multipurpose courts.
