One electronic entrance key is allowed per household. The first issued is free, the second costs $5.
The hours are 7AM to 7PM, 7 days a week. In order to facilitate a more rigorous maintenance program, lap swimming now starts when the pool opens at 7 AM. Previously members had been allowed to enter at 6, but this resulted in less than ideal pool conditions.

The VISION team supports our Mariner’s Cove neighbors by sharing our home security camera video information when they have been victimized. It has matured in its relationship with the well-known Neighborhood Security Watch program. We have seen VISION grow in numbers, presently thirty-four households, and have partnered with the HPD to be their “eyes and ears”.
There is no cost to join and be a member of VISION.
That depends on your ability to review video footage. On average two Mariner’s Cove incidents take place monthly.
You may have to invest thirty minutes a month reviewing footage (fifteen minutes per each the two incidents).
Remember, what you are doing is supporting a victimized neighbor with your time.
The VISION Coordinator sends the distribution list emails via blind copy (Bcc...)
If your video footage is potential evidence in court, you may be asked to testify. You have the right to decline.
That is great that you have good cameras, but you do not have cameras down the block, around the corner, or in another part of the Cove. The collaboration of the Mariner’s Cove VISION team increases the chances of us picking up video of the culprits not close to your property. Additionally, HPD has been requesting VISION support as patrol officers have limited time to request video support of the immediate neighbors of the victim. We are supporting both our victimized neighbors and HPD as they investigate the offence. We are HPD’s “eyes and ears”.
