Pool season begins on Memorial Day weekend and is open daily (Tuesday through Sunday) from 12pm-8pm, including on Labor Day.  Labor Day will be the last pool day.

Pool Fob Information

All residents must have an active pool fob to access the Homestead pool. If you are new to the neighborhood and were not provided a fob at closing, or if your current fob has been lost, replacement fobs may be purchased for $25.

Please note that HOA dues must be current in order for pool fobs to function. If dues are paid late, your existing fob will need to be reactivated before access is restored.

To purchase a new fob or reactivate an existing one, please email the HOA Board at contact@homesteadedmond.com. A board member will connect you with Dale, our Pool Manager, to coordinate a time for pickup or activation. Residents will also be required to sign a Pool Fob Agreement at that time.

We do ask for patience during this process, as Dale, like the rest of our HOA Board members, volunteers his time to help serve our neighborhood community while also balancing work and family responsibilities.

Looking to have a private pool party? The pool may be reserved by contacting our Pool Manager, Dale, at dsrnka@yahoo.com
