Maintenance Closures

• Due to an unexpected flood, the Desert Hills fitness center is closed and will reopen Monday, June 9. Once the ceiling was opened up, there’s more damage than we expected so it’s taking longer to repair. UPDATE: the Desert Hills fitness studio is open. Access is through the south gate by the tennis courts.
• The Desert Hills locker rooms (including the outdoor shower and sauna) are closed for renovations until the end of August. Follow the detour signs on the lower level to the fitness, poker, and boxing rooms during construction. The pool remains open via the alternate entrance aside from a four-to-six-week closure for upgrades—stay tuned for details. For added convenience, two porta-potties are available on the lower level under the solar panels just south of the pool wall.
• The Desert Hills spa is closed pending repair.
• The West Center pool and spa closes for equipment upgrades from Monday, June 2 to Friday, June 6.
