During the summer season when the pool is open, the Garden Hills Pool has two locations on the pool deck for hosting small functions. There is a maximum limit of 30 adults & children for each area. This number includes the host family, and all chaperones and guest parents.  The locations have picnic tables and provide easy access to the swimming pool.

 

To maintain the focus on community at the pool, no one party may rent two of the rentable areas at the Garden Hills Pool facility.  This pool is at its heart a small, family-friendly place, and not to be considered a private events facility.  During the operating hours outside Members Only hours which begin at 5:00 PM daily, the community shares the pool.  Thank you for understanding!

 

Party Deck Reservations MUST be made online. The on-site pool staff does not have access to the rentals portal.

 

NORTH DECK PARTY AREA

 

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 small 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.

RENTAL RATES INCLUDE A $100 REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT
However, party hosts are expected to pay $5 per person Admission Fee as mandated for all City of Atlanta pools. Children under 2 years old are free admission. This fee is applicable for all who enter the pool, regardless of whether they plan to swim.  Each pool party will have a sign-in sheet at the Admissions Desk to record party guests who enter.  Party hosts must pay for non-member guests at departure on the day of the event.  Failure to pay non-member guest fees for your party may result in forfeiture of your Security Deposit.

 

RENTAL TIMES INCLUDE SET-UP AND TAKE-DOWN
Therefore, renters are encouraged to rent the space for at least 30 minutes before and after the actual event to allow for setup and cleaning. The decks will be booked for other events throughout the day, and it is the renter’s responsibility to have the space ready for the next patron at the ending time of their rental.

 

PARTY HOSTS MAY NOT ACCESS THE POOL BEFORE OPERATING HOURS
Garden Hills Pool Staff and Swim & Dive Team/Shark Pups are the only groups allowed within the pool gates outside the pool hours of operation. The gate may be open, but until the official pool opening time, only instructors, students, and staff may be inside the facility. No exceptions.

 

• Remove all decorations, including tape & string
• Wipe down all table tops
• Return all chairs & tables to the original locations
• Remove all garbage from the rental area and deposit it in appropriate receptacles
• Pay for all non-member party guests before departure from the pool
