| Updated KCSA Reopenings |
|---|
| Posted on Jun 28th, 2020 Dear Kingsmill Resident:
As we continue to progress to the next phase of reopening, we want to update everyone on the plans for opening more facilities. On Wednesday, July 1 Southall Pool will be added to the list of openings. You will need to reserve a time for use just as at Mounts Bay.
In compliance with the Governor of Virginia orders and the Virginia Department of Health guidelines, the following are our current plans for reopening the KCSA recreational facilities:
Tennis & Pickleball Courts - All are open. Guidelines were previously distributed and are posted at the entrance to the courts. KCSA will be disinfecting periodically and we strongly encourage personal responsibility for sanitizing.
Playgrounds - All are open. Please note the signage regarding limited sanitization of the facilities. Personal responsibility for sanitization is critical.
Basketball Courts - Are open. We strongly urge users to limit their use to "shooting hoops" and not organized play due to the inability to maintain the appropriate physical distancing required by the State of Virginia. Personal responsibility for sanitization is critical.
POOLS
Mounts Bay pool is open. Southall pool will open Wednesday, July 1. Please note that both still have limitations following the Governor's Order. For parcel pool updates, please check with your parcel chair.
Pleas note the following guidelines for pool usage:
COVID-19 Warning
The pool is not guaranteed to be free of the COVID-19 virus so personal responsibility is key. Please understand you are entering the pool at your own risk. By entering the pool, you take responsibility for your own protection and for disinfecting your hands. Do not use the pool if you have a cough, fever, or other symptoms of illness, or have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus in the past 14 days. If you are immunosuppressed, have underlying health conditions, or are considered high-risk, you are strongly encouraged not to use the pool.
Pool Use
Path to the River
We sometimes forget to address our access to the river. This is a wonderful place and has gotten a lot of use during this Pandemic. We want to remind everyone of a few issues that have happened recently:
This is a beautiful amenity that we have in our community and we need your help to keep it clean and pristine. Be respectful of those who live in this area.
We will continue to keep everyone updated as we continue with reopening KCSA facilities. Thank you for your patience as we work through the healthcare concerns, CDC guidelines, changing state rules with their various interpretations, insurance considerations and legal implications during this unique moment. KCSA is now in "opening mode" and hope to see things back to normal as soon as is responsibly possible.
In the meantime, please stay healthy and safe.

| Mounts Bay Pool Opening - Saturday, June 13 |
| Posted on Jun 11th, 2020 Comments (0) The Spring and Summer of 2020 have been different from anything we've experienced in recent memory and this is unlikely to change anytime soon. This has caused a complete rethinking of our typical opening schedule due to health concerns and the myriad of rules we must now address which were not issues in the past.
In compliance with the Governor of Virginia orders and the Virginia Department of Health guidelines, following are our current plans for reopening the KCSA recreational facilities:
Tennis & Pickleball Courts - The courts at both Mounts Bay and Southall Recreation Centers opened on Saturday, June 6. Guidelines were distributed earlier and are posted at the entrance to the courts.
Playgrounds - Effective Wednesday, June 10, the playgrounds will reopen. Please note the signage regarding limited sanitization of the facilities. Personal responsibility for sanitization is critical.
Basketball Courts - Effective Wednesday, June 10, the basketball court will reopen. We strongly urge users to limit their use to "shooting hoops" and not organized play due to the inability to maintain the appropriate physical distancing required by the State of Virginia.
Pools - Swimming at the pool is going to be very different this summer. Following Executive Order 65 from our Governor allowing outdoor pools to open with limitations, we will open the Mounts Bay Pool on Saturday, June 13. It is also our intent to open the Southall pool soon after based on demand.
For parcel pool updates, please check with your parcel chair.
Please note the following guidelines for pool usage:

| Maintain Social Distancing |
| Posted on Mar 31st, 2020 Comments (0) Greetings ...
We hope this message continues to find you safe and healthy!
We reported yesterday that we have not had any confirmed reports of a positive case of COVID-19 in our community. Since then, as expected, we have learned of at least one confirmed positive case within Kingsmill. We expect there are others and that things will become even more difficult over the next few weeks.
It is not our intention moving forward to provide daily notification of each new confirmed case but its important to understand the Coronavirus is here and, for the safety of all, we must all act responsibly.
Accordingly, we continue to encourage everyone to follow both the six-foot social distancing rule and the 10-person gathering rule. We understand everyone wants to get out and mingle at a safe distance with their friends but remaining safe and diligent is paramount.
Remember ... Stay home. Save lives.

| Traffic on the Golf Course |
| Posted on Mar 31st, 2020 Comments (0) As the weather starts to warm, we are noticing a lot of non-golfer traffic on the golf courses. Due to safety concerns for all, we ask that all residents and members refrain from using the golf cart path and golf course space for recreation.
The potential of being struck by a golf ball, maintenance vehicle, or a golf cart is great. Additionally, we have received numerous golfer concerns regarding walkers and outdoor enthusiasts disrupting the flow of play. We would like to remind everyone that the courses are for use by registered golfers only. Anyone continuing to walk on the courses will otherwise be reminded of the policy and asked to return to the community walking paths.
We understand the need for fresh air and outdoor activity, and kindly ask for your support to keep the golf courses clear. We are doing our best to communicate our safety concerns and the importance of a positive golf experience for all registered golfers using the Kingsmill golf facilities.
Also, we have heard from some members of the community who have asked us to share our new practices on our golf operation. We have been operating in accordance to Governor Northam's executive orders 51, 53, and 55, along with CDC guidelines.
