UPDATED FACE COVERING PROTOCOLS AT THE FIELDHOUSE

For the past several months, Basin Recreation has made the internal decision to require face coverings at all times in The Fieldhouse. We acknowledge that such decision went beyond the requirements that exempt strenuous exercise. We made the decision to support the community’s efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.

We have approached our COVID-19 protocols with a constant eye on the numbers – on the transmission rate, positive cases, and the availability of the vaccine. Thanks to the efforts of the community, the dedication of the Health Department, and the hard work of many volunteers, as of March 18, Summit County’s transmission rate has moved from the high to moderate level.

In a direct response to this move, the requirement of face coverings during strenuous exercise will be lifted effective Monday, March 22. Stretching will not be considered strenuous exercise and a mask must be worn. The face covering exception will apply to exercise in the cardio and strength areas of The Fieldhouse (once you reach your equipment), as well as during fitness classes.

Social distancing requirements of at least six feet will remain in place and, in order to ensure such, capacity limits will be enforced in all studios and the Olympic lifting room. Face coverings will remain mandatory in other areas of The Fieldhouse, including common areas, restrooms, and all areas of the track. To assist with social distancing, we will still require reservations for fitness classes and lap swimming. In order to serve all patrons, we are extending the pool hours starting April 1. Also, beginning April 1, senior hours will be discontinued at The Fieldhouse and select fitness classes will move outside where possible.

We are also evaluating our programming and stakeholder rules. For the time being, face coverings will be required inside if participants cannot maintain six feet of social distancing. The exception will be swim programming where face coverings are impractical for both participants and instructors. If you have a child participating in our programs or are a stakeholder participant, watch for up-to-date communication as we receive information.

On our end, we will continue the extensive cleaning protocols that have been implemented during the pandemic. Staff and instructors will continue to wear face coverings and, of course, we support any individual decision to wear a face covering as well. We will continue to evaluate how to best (and most safely) serve you. Please obey all Staff requests and posted signage.

OPERATIONAL CHANGES FOLLOWING STATE PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER 2020-25

On November 9, Basin Recreation postponed all youth, adult, and senior recreation programming and fitness classes through November 29. We did so with cautious optimism that COVID-19 numbers would drop and state and local orders would permit us to resume programming. On November 20, 2020, the Utah Department of Health issued State Public Health Order 2020-25. This Order provided new guidance on our programs and fitness classes.

Effective November 30, 2020, we will resume the six programs that were put on hold earlier this month. You will receive an email from the Program Coordinator by Wednesday, November 25. In addition, we will recommence some in studio fitness classes. However, given the current COVID-19 numbers and High Transmission level, Basin Recreation has made the internal decision to continue to require face coverings in The Fieldhouse at all times. This requirement applies to all programming, fitness classes, and exercise. We will continue to monitor the situation daily and adjust when prudent. We understand that, for some, the face covering requirement is less than ideal. We encourage you to check out our virtual fitness class options. If you have questions or concerns about your membership, please call Matt Strader at (435) 655-0999 ext. 14.

Further, in order to control capacity, starting on November 30, lap swimming will be by reservation only. The Fieldhouse pool is limited to two people per lane for 50-minute blocks. Reservations can be made one week in advance with no fee associated if you have a Fieldhouse Facility membership. You must have an active Mindbody account in order to reserve. If you are interested in purchasing a daily drop-in pass, contact The Fieldhouse front desk to reserve your spot at (435) 655-0999. Please wear your face covering until you get into the pool.

From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Basin Recreation has constantly evaluated its operations with safety as a top priority. We will continue to do so and keep you updated as things change. We believe that the best way through (and hopefully out) of this pandemic is by each of us doing our part to keep our community safe.

OPERATIONAL CHANGES FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2020-73

Consistent with, and in furtherance of, Governor Herbert’s Executive Order No. 2020-73, Basin Recreation will postpone all youth, adult, and senior recreation programming and cancel fitness classes effective immediately through Sunday, November 29. We intend to resume those programs on November 30 if permitted to do so under state and local orders.

While The Fieldhouse will remain open, face coverings will be required at all times while in the facility. We understand that this requirement goes beyond the Governor’s Order but have made the internal decision to reinstate mandatory face coverings throughout the facility out of an abundance of caution. You may notice areas of The Fieldhouse that are closed to the public. Please observe all posted signage and staff instructions. If you have questions or concerns about your membership, please reach out to Matt Strader at mstrader@basinrecreation.org or call (435) 655-0999 ext. 14.

From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Basin Recreation has continually evaluated its operations with safety as a top priority. We find ourselves at another bump in the road where operational modifications are necessary and prudent. We remain committed to providing recreational opportunities safely and we cannot underscore enough our appreciation to our patrons for their support during this time.

NEW FACE COVERING PROTOCOLS

Joint Public Health Order 2020-08 (the “Order”) made face coverings/face shields mandatory inside all indoor public spaces, with certain enumerated exceptions. It also required face coverings/face shields at community gatherings of over 50 people. Through the amended Order, a process was instituted by which organizations could seek exemption(s) from the mandatory face coverings/face shields.

On July 20, the Board of Health heard a request for an exception of the Order for strenuous exercise. After careful consideration, the Board ordered that, with adequate social distance of six-ten feet, the face covering/face shield requirement would be lifted for strenuous exercise. The exemption provided that face coverings/face shields would still be required in common areas, locker rooms, stretching areas, and all areas of the track (including the corners).

We know how much this community values exercise – for both physical and mental wellbeing. We understand that, for some, face coverings during strenuous exercise has been difficult. But you did it. We want to emphasize that the threat of COVID-19 is still very real and this is not the time to “lower your guard.”

When you exercise at The Fieldhouse, you may remove your face covering once you have arrived at your cardio equipment of choice or in the weight machine and free weight areas as long as you are appropriately socially distanced. You may also participate in fitness classes without your face covering so long as you are in your socially distanced space. Of course, you are welcomed to wear your face covering if that makes you more comfortable!

You must wear a face covering when entering The Fieldhouse, when in all common areas such as locker rooms, hallways, lobby areas, stretching areas, and on the track. As we are not able to properly distance the equipment in the Olympic weight room or ensure social distancing on the track, face coverings are required in those areas.

As for Staff, we will continue to wear our face coverings and work diligently to keep the facility clean. This includes our fitness instructors who will teach with a face covering on for your safety. While the weather stays nice, many fitness classes will remain outside. We will continue to evaluate how to best (and most safely) serve you. Please obey all Staff requests and posted signage.

FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED INDOORS

This afternoon, Joint Public Health Order 2020-08 was approved by the Summit County Council. Under the Order, face coverings are mandatory inside The Fieldhouse. Face masks will be required at all times in all indoor areas, including cardio and weight areas, the turf field, the gymnasium, fitness studios, locker rooms, and all common areas. Please bring a face mask when visiting The Fieldhouse. We will have limited supplies should you need one upon arrival.

We understand the challenges of wearing face coverings while exercising; however, the Order does not exempt masks for indoor recreation activities. Patrons using the pool must wear a face mask when inside the facility. Please continue to social distance even while wearing a face covering. If you have registered for a fitness class and no longer wish to attend, please call the front desk at (435) 655-0999.

Relevant exemptions to required face masks include: (1) individuals age two years or under; (2) individuals with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering; and (3) individuals who are hearing impaired, or communicating with an individual who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication.

Additionally, the face covering requirement will apply to our camps that spend time indoors as well. Parents, please send your child to camp with a mask. Our counselors will help remind the campers when the mask is necessary to ensure that the Order is followed.

Basin Recreation takes the safety of its patrons very seriously Please adhere to all posted signage and obey instructions of staff throughout our facilities We appreciate your cooperation.

EXCITING FITNESS UPDATES

Summer is here and we are excited to launch our new fitness schedule for June! You will notice new locations, class times, and fitness offerings but the same safety guidelines and preregistration processes apply.

OPERATIONAL CHANGES AS WE MOVE TO THE YELLOW PHASE

Last week, Summit County moved into the Yellow (Low Risk) Phase under Governor Herbert’s Utah Leads Together 3.0 Plan. As such, we are excited to offer additional facilities and programs, while keeping our commitment to safety.

As we expand operations, we appeal to your sense of personal responsibility. Under the mantra of “stay safe to stay open,” please continue to employ the tools we have learned – those of social distancing, proper handwashing, sharing, and adherence to posted signage. All of these practices become even more important as amenity use expands. It is through this cooperation that we continue to move forward safely.

Parks
Our parks are open for business. This means courts, fields, playgrounds, skatepark, bike parks, dog parks and restrooms! Pavilions are also available on a first come/first served basis; we will not be taking reservations at this time. Please use the amenities safely and responsibly.

Team sports are permitted to practice. Stakeholders must schedule practices through us and follow all guidance received from their governing bodies. Events are still a moving target – watch for new dates and/or cancellations as necessary.

And in some exciting news, the skatepark located at Trailside Park has received a facelift. Three features have been replaced, transition plates have been repaired, and a new surface has been applied to the features. We are stoked to welcome you back to the park.

We are no longer limited to 20 people per floor at The Fieldhouse but we will continue to issue individual sanitizing bottles to patrons. Please clean prior to and following your activity. Locker rooms and showers are now open. Please respect other patrons’ space.

Starting on June 1, the hot tub will be available to four people at a time. The Splash Pad remains closed until its new surface is installed. Watch for news about its reopening by July 1.

IMPORTANT FAQ’s REGARDING THE FIELDHOUSE RE-OPENING

Tuesday, May 5, 2020

BASIN RECREATION IS GRADUALLY OPENING FACILITIES

I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy, and although it feels like we haven’t seen you in forever, the community’s diligence in practicing social distancing has helped flatten the curve of infections.

Basin Recreation participated in proposing protocols for Summit County’s move into the Stabilization Phase. The undertaking is a balancing act of protecting public health, while slowly returning to life in the new normal. The guidance of the Health Department and the collaboration with other like entities has been invaluable throughout this process.

The move will be gradual and evaluated regularly. This will allow the team to adjust to the new operation protocols, while maintaining the safety of staff and our patrons. The information below is to provide you with the current parameters, but expect to hear from us periodically as things change. As always, we are here to answer questions.

There will be increased staff monitoring of the facility to ensue compliance. We encourage the use of gloves and face coverings whenever possible.

All Fieldhouse memberships will be extended consistent with the type of membership and the number of days the facility was closed to the public. The week of Monday, May 11 through Sunday, May 17 will be free to all members. Starting on Monday, May 18, all memberships will be active and extended accordingly.

For our part, we will continue to be vigilant in facility maintenance and sanitization. You will notice some changes to our front entry and desk areas to help remind patrons of social distancing. You will also notice additional signage throughout the facility – please obey all rules and regulations to protect yourself, fellow patrons, and Fieldhouse staff. Online reservations and payments are encouraged when possible. Communication of staff and patron expectations will be distributed to all members by the end of the week.

If you are a high-risk individual, please exercise caution when using The Fieldhouse. It is a large public facility and, while Staff is committed to doing all it can to promote a safe environment, personal responsibility is essential.

Also, make sure you are picking up after your furry friends.

In addition, the Trailside Bike Park is now open. Please use the Bike Park responsibly and exercise social distancing and sanitization practices.

Stay Healthy While Recreating Outside

social distance

With the growing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) has emphasized the importance of social distancing – keeping at least six feet from other individuals and pets – as well as other precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. With the recommendations and the closures of many facilities came a surge of public use of trails and parks, according to the National Recreation and Parks Association (“NRPA”).

While “the outdoors is not cancelled,” Basin Recreation wants to do its part to “flatten the curve,” and is recommending the following for patrons utilizing its parks and trails:

  • Do not use parks or trails if you have symptoms of COVID-19.
  • If walking your dog, NRPA recommends that dogs remain on a leash at all times.
  • Please clean up after yourself. Carry out your trash and your dog’s waste to protect Basin staff.
  • Park and trailhead restrooms are closed.
  • Playgrounds are closed because there is no present guideline from the CDC on how best to manage these spaces, specifically recommended cleaning and disinfection for outdoor equipment.
  • Leaving tracks? Turn back! Be aware of changing conditions and do not use muddy trails.
  • Share trails mindfully and announce your presence as you pass.
  • Follow the CDC guidelines on personal hygiene and maintain social distancing of 6 feet from others at all times.

These precautions are consistent with the current recommendations from the CDC and the NRPA but are subject to change. Please obey all posted signage and check this newsfeed often for the most current information.

FIELDHOUSE CLOSING UNTIL MARCH 31

Following the recommendation of the Summit County Health Department, effective at 7pm tonight, March 13, 2020, Basin Recreation will be closing The Fieldhouse until March 31, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. The safety of our patrons and staff is very important to us.

All existing facility and fitness memberships will be extended accordingly. As the situation continues to change, Basin Recreation will reevaluate the closure and related pass extension as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your understanding. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. Please stay safe and healthy.

Thursday, March 12, 2020

Community Members,

As we follow the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we want you to know the safety of our patrons and staff is our top priority. We have been working closely with the Summit County Health Department as it monitors the virus and we recognize that information is constantly changing. In an effort to provide a resource for up-to-date Basin Recreation information, we will post here regularly.

As of March 12, 2020, we have suspended all group fitness classes until further notice. We have also postponed and/or cancelled Basin Recreation programs through the end of March. In addition, we have cancelled:

  • Indoor and outdoor facility reservations;
  • Drop-in adult sports; and
  • Toddler time.

For now, The Fieldhouse will remain open.

The cleanliness of our facilities is very important and we are increasing efforts to ensure such. Along with providing multiple cleaning stations and hand sanitizer dispensers throughout The Fieldhouse, our crews are working diligently to clean the facility. We are asking patrons to assist in maintaining a clean environment by spraying down equipment before and after use.

Please remember to:

  • Wash hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds.
  • Use hand sanitizer if soap is not available.
  • Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay at home if you are sick.

We are monitoring this ever-changing situation closely. For more information, please go to Summit County Health.

Thank you for your help and understanding.
