Playground & Pool Rules
The SCCE playground, pool, and picnic shelter are some of the best features in our community. To keep them in working order and safe for SCCE members and our guests, we ask that you review the rules below and share them with your family and friends.
Remember: you may reserve the shelter but not the pool. Residents have unlimited access to the pool during operating hours.
Please be respectful of the common areas in the community. If you encounter rule-breaking – please act responsibly, intervene, and report the incident to a Board Member and/or the Pennington County Sheriff (605-394-2151). Individuals caught abusing the facilities will be prosecuted and charged for any damages. Please note: The county sheriff will be notified of any after-hours activity.
The playground and pool are for SCCE resident use. Guests must be accompanied by a resident.
Pool & Sports Court Security
To address concerns from residents that the pool has increasingly been used by non-residents, the board has implemented a new security protocol. Each household will receive a key fob that will allow access to the pool and sports courts.
How does it work?
Locking handles have been installed at each pool entrance and the entrance to the tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts.
Each homeowner will be issued one fob (1 per household)
Homeowners must sign for their fob acknowledging receipt
You can purchase an additional fob for $10 (max 2 per household)
The fobs are easy to use and work like a hotel key. Simply tap the pad installed at the entrance and the green light will give you access to the pool or court.
How do I get my fob?
Fobs will be available at upcoming community events:
May HOA Board Meeting: May 20, – 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm (at the close of the meeting)
Spring Clean Up: May 18, 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Important things to keep in mind:

PLEASE be sure to gather ALL your belongings before the pool closes. Items left poolside after closing will not be accessible until the pool opens the following morning.
