• During the summer season when the pool is open, the Garden Hills Pool has two locations on the pool deck for hosting private functions for groups of up to 30 adults & children for each area:  North Deck and South Deck. This number includes the host family.  The locations have picnic tables and provide easy access to the swimming pool.
• There must be 1 adult (16+) per 5 swimming-capable children under 12 and for every two non-swimmers.  Chaperones are required to closely supervise the children when they are in the water. The children desiring the use of the deep end and diving well must pass a swim test as administered by management. For safety reasons, there will be no exceptions to these rules.
•  You do not have to be a Garden Hills Pool Member to rent at the pool. You may reserve these areas at any time between the pool opening time and 5 pm, when we switch over to Members Only hours.
• Garden Hills Pool Members may rent these locations during MEMBER ONLY HOURS at the discretion of Pool Management. Please inquire before you book: poolboard@gardenhillspool.com.
  
• No party or member may rent two areas of the pool deck or a pool deck area plus the Special Events room on any given day.
• If you have any questions regarding these policies, please speak with a manager, who will make the final decision: execdir@gardenhillspool.com or 404-848-7220.  Please note that the phone is only answered during the hours the pool is open.

NORTH DECK

Next to the Pool House Concession Stand on a wooden deck to the East of the swimming pool, the North Deck area provides roughly 400 sq. feet of space with four picnic tables.  This area is removed from the flow of traffic near the water and can serve as an outdoor gathering place, ideal for hosting birthday parties, celebrations or picnics.

SOUTH PICNIC/PARTY AREA

The concrete deck on the South end of the pool farthest from the Pool House and on the West side of the pump house offers roughly 500 sq. feet of space with five picnic tables.  The area provides shade for most of the day and is removed from the flow of traffic near the water.  This location is convenient to the diving board and is another ideal location for birthday parties, celebrations and picnics.
