Granite Recreation Association Facility Rental Information

Granite does not rent to non-members of our Association. Members planning to use the facility for a private party – day or evening – must check availability and make reservations in advance.

We are a private facility and all parties must be by individual invitation only. Due to insurance liability issues, absolutely no general advertising such as social media or public posting of your event is allowed.

For all questions related to Reservations & Rentals, please email Rentals@planetgranite.org.

Guidelines:
  1. Facilities may be rented only during the swimming season, Memorial Day weekend through Final weekend. No rentals on Gig Nights, Holidays or home swim meet nights.
  2. The pool rental fee is $150/night plus $150 security deposit. The party may be moved to the recreation building if the pool needs to be closed because of inclement weather.
  3. The pool may be rented by any member in good standing at the time at which the reservation is made and at the time of the event for which the pool is rented. The renter is the host of record and must be over 21 years of age. He or she must be present on site from the party start to end time. Guests will not be admitted unless the host is present on site.
  4. A written request (Facility Rental Release form) to reserve the pool, indicating the nature of the use of the pool, is required for private parties and is taken on a first-come, first-served basis. The release form must be completed by the host of record and submitted along with both deposit checks for the pool rental. Reservations will not be confirmed until the deposit checks and release form are received. Checks should be made payable to Granite Swim and Tennis Club. Please write two separate checks & the security deposit check will be destroyed if the facilities are left in good and clean condition.  Complete the Facility Rental Release Form.
  5. All pool parties are required to have Swim Club Management Group (SCMG) lifeguards on duty. Guards must be prepaid and contracted directly through SCMG by the host prior to the party. Guard staffing should be handled at least seven (7) days prior to the event in order ensure availability/avoid "rush" fees. The number of guards and the associated costs are based on the number attending your function and whether alcohol will be available.

    Lifeguard Staffing Requirement:
    1-25 guests - 2 lifeguards  
    26-50 guests - 3 lifeguards
    51-75 guests - 4 lifeguards
    76+ guests - 1 additional lifeguard per 40 guests
    Lifeguard Pricing:
    $25 per guard per hour
    Cost includes a 30 minute clean-up period. 
    Guards will assist in the clean-up but the Host is required to lead the effort.
    Visit the Swim Club Management Group website to book lifeguards for your party.

    Please note that the pool rental is a Granite fee and the lifeguards are a SCMG fee that must be submitted to separate entities and addresses.
  6. Facilities can be rented from 15 minutes after normal pool closure time until midnight. All parties must end and have clean-up performed by midnight. No one is allowed to remain on facility property after midnight.
  7. One party at the facility per night. Parties may not start setting up until the pool has closed to the general membership for the evening. Equipment or space in the snack bar or guard room is not available for party use.
  8. All amplified entertainment (live or recorded) should be directed toward the interstate and away from the residential neighborhood located on the other side of the railroad tracks.
  9. The use of alcohol will be at the discretion of the host member and must be controlled by the host member. Absolutely no glass containers are allowed in the pool area. Kegs, cans, box wines and plastic beverage containers are the only types permitted. No underage drinking will be allowed. The Association will not be liable for any accidents or incidents related to the use of alcohol on the premises. Lifeguards cannot be responsible for handling alcohol. Leftover food and drink items are the sole responsibility of the host and must be removed at the end of the party. No food, drink or alcohol may be left at the facility overnight.
  10. All rentals are for rain or shine (no refunds). In the event of rain, the Recreation Building may be used. All but one lifeguard may be dismissed if the pool will not be used. One guard must stay to close up the pool and building. The Recreation Building must be left in the same condition as found.
  11. At the completion of the party, the renter is responsible for all clean up and for having at least two individuals available to help the lifeguard(s) close the pool. Whatever the designated closing time for the party is, all guests should be off the facility grounds by that time. The same is true if your guests gather in the parking lot and converse after the closing time, which prevents the guards from closing the main gate to the club. Please remember that guards may rely on rides to get home or may have other commitments after a party, so sticking to your designated closing time is very important.
