ICYMI - Five Oaks made The Baltimore Sun's Best Pool List!
http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/bal-region-s-top-pool-options-20180702-photogallery.html
Five Oaks:
The Catonsville watering hole has been a destination for families since it opened in 1931. The waiting list for membership is about two years. And for good reason, according to manager Barbara Bates. Memberships range in price from $380 for a single senior to $610 for a family.
“Members can bring up to six guests with them,” she said. “We’re also one of the only pools with a [three-meter] high dive.” In addition to its 380,000-gallon pool, the establishment has a basketball court, a volleyball court, a food stand that features penny candy, and a playground. There are occasional family movie nights and other activities for members, according to Bates, who has worked at the pool for the past three decades.

UPDATE MONDAY, MAY 28, 2018 11:10 AM:
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help today. We are so appreciative to our wonderful members! At this time we have done all we can do and are waiting for contractors to provide bids for the needed repairs. We know people are curious about the pool, but we are requesting people please refrain from stopping by the pool. The top parking lot is unsafe and we need to keep parking spaces on the lower lot available to contractors and needed equipment. At this time we do not have a time frame for the needed repairs, but will keep you updated when we have the information.
UPDATE Sunday, May 27, 2018 11:25 PM:
The damage at the pool is worst than we expected. The pool will definitely be closed tomorrow and will likely be closed for several days. We will continue to update you when we can.
Sunday, May 27, 2018 8:00 PM:
Staff will arrive at 7:00 am to clean up from the storm. Please check the website or Facebook for information. We anticipate all of the staff members will be working hard and will most likely be unable to answer the telephone. We appreciate your understanding.
The fence was completely washed away. We are hoping that any adult with construction experience and tools would consider helping us construct a temporary fence. If you can, please stop by the pool in the morning. Any help would be appreciated.

Saturday, May 26 Announcement
5 Oaks Members:
Great to see so many of you on our opening weekend!! Welcome to our new members. Just a few very important reminders:
*Please scan your ID every visit to the pool.
*The RESERVED parking space is for the Raffle Winner ONLY. Please do not park in this space even to drop off or pick up. We appreciate your cooperation!
*On 5/26 a member's car was hit in the parking lot. The person who hit it did not leave a note. The car was a Black Honda Odyssey. Please let the manager on duty know if you saw this incident occur.
*Just a reminder that ALL guests age 2 and above must pay the guest fee. This includes non-swimmers. Please make sure that you arrive before your guests to sign them in. We can't allow them to enter until they are signed in by a member. :)
*Please ask a lifeguard or the manager on duty if you have questions about the swim test that is required to go in the deep end, off the slide or diving boards. We know kids (and parents) are excited for the opportunity to use the deep end but we want all kids to be prepared before we allow them to do this. Our goal is to make sure that we keep the kids safe. The new swim test is designed to help us see if they are ready.
*Please lock your cars and do not leave valuables in your car while you are at the pool.
*If we have inclement weather please check the website to make sure that the pool is still open. We close if all members and guests leave due to weather and it is not cost effective to keep the pool open.
We are looking forward to a great summer!
