The Board of Directors and Management have made the very difficult decision to not open the Blue Mountain Lake Pools and Spray Park for the 2020 Summer Season due to the restrictions of the aquatic venue guidelines of the CDC, the restrictions of the PA Governor’s Re-Opening process (of the upcoming Green Phase) and most importantly for the safety and wellbeing of our members, guests and staff.
Since COVID-19 began its rapid spread across the U.S. in late February 2020, the BML Board and your Preferred Management team have had to make many difficult decisions in order to protect the association, our residents, and staff members and the decision to close the BML Pools and Spray Park for the 2020 Summer season did not come easy.
After reviewing the CDC, PA Department of Health, PA Parks & Recreation aquatic venue guidelines, as well as an in-depth review of a risk vs. benefit analysis (in partner with the associations legal counsel and risk management consultant), the Board and management determined that these guidelines were overwhelming to execute effectively and safely and the risk to the health and safety to our community members were just too great.
We appreciate your patience and understanding and wish everyone continued good health!
Please review the following links to the CDC Guidelines for parks and recreation, as well as the Governor’s process to re-open Pennsylvania for the detailed information on the restrictions.
