UPDATED INFO ABOUT RECREATION MINISTRY FACILITY OPENING
Dear Recreation Ministry Participants,
Christ United Recreation Ministry’s Recreation facility has plans to reopen on July 6th, 2020, with our normal operation hours - Monday through Friday, 6am-9pm and Saturday from 8am-6pm.
This is our plan and we are praying this will be what our guidelines continue to suggest as we go through the next few weeks. If there are any changes in the July 6th opening date, we will be sure to communicate it ASAP.
Our first concern is that all of our participants should read and comply with the CDC’s and Alabama Public Health Department’s GUIDELINES FOR ATHLETIC FACILITIES. We will be following this.
The way we operate our facility will change until further notice.
We will be taking 30-minute reservations, one week at a time, for use of the track and the fitness room. 8 people will be able to be on the track and 4 people in the fitness room for each 30-minute reservation. You can reserve as many 30 min time slots as you need but only one week at a time and it can be a combination of the walking track and the fitness room. You’ll just need to specify each one because there will be two different sets of reservations.
We will only be taking these reservations by phone at 251-706-3326.
We will begin reservations for the week of July 6th on Wednesday, July 1st (we will be closed Friday, July 3rd & Saturday, July 4th).
The fitness room machines will be placed in such a way that it facilitates the social distancing suggestions. This means some machines may not be available. They will be clearly taped off and signs placed on them so you will recognize such.
The walking track will have only one area suitable for “passing” other walkers/runners who may not be at the same pace as you. This area is behind the upstairs stage area – behind the curtains. Please respect this as our track width everywhere else is not the proper width for passing when it comes to the social distancing guidelines.
When signing to use the facility, you will need to sign in with your name, email address, and current phone number and you will have your temperature taken.
Pickleball will resume with social distancing guidelines when waiting. This is a non-contact sport.
The basketball gym is not open for any type of contact sport until further notice of guideline allowances for social distancing.
Like most of us, we are very excited we have the opportunity to reopen, even in limited ways. We want to respect the guidelines and provide a place for you to enjoy being active again. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We are ready to see you all again and pray you are well and safe!
