FITNESS CENTERS REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE (EFFECTIVE jULY 24)
As you may recall, Executive Order 2020-43: Pausing of Arizona’s Reopening – Slowing the Spread of COVID-19, issued by Governor Doug Ducey on Monday, June 29, paused operations of indoor gyms and fitness clubs or centers until at least July 27, 2020, unless extended by the Governor. At his press conference on Thursday, July 23, Governor Ducey decided to extend this Executive Order. Therefore, per Executive Order 2020-52, a Continuation of Executive Order 2020-43, gyms and fitness centers will remain closed; this pause in operations will be reconsidered for repeal or revision every two weeks. You can read the Governor's Executive Order here.
Accordingly, Fitness Centers in both Resident Clubs will remain closed until further notice. Resident Club pools will remain open Monday-Saturday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. As always, we thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding.
We continue to encourage residents to follow physical distancing recommendations and health and safety guidelines in the community and common areas. As with all things in this uncertain time, any amenities you use or areas you visit are at your own risk. If you or someone in your household is ill or exhibiting any symptoms, please remain at home and refrain from using amenities. As everyone’s comfort level regarding COVID is different, we also ask that you please be kind and considerate to all neighbors during this challenging time.
Please feel free to contact the Community Services Office at 623-386-1112 with any questions you may have.

FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED IN COMMUNITY CENTERS (eFFECTIVE jUNE 23)
Arizona continues to experience an uptick in COVID-19 cases. On June 17, Governor Doug Ducey emphasized the importance of physical distancing, staying home if you're sick, and wearing a mask or other face covering when out in public. The Governor also released a new Executive Order that allows cities, counties and towns to adopt their own policies regarding the wearing of face coverings in public. At 12:00 a.m. on June 20, Maricopa County issued a proclamation mandating that all persons must wear a face covering except under these specific exemptions, which you may read here.
In accordance with the County's directive, and effective as of 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 23, residents are now required to wear face coverings at all times in the Community Centers, as follows:
- Please have a mask or face covering on when you enter the Residents Clubs;
- Continue to wear the mask/face covering at all times in the Clubs, including in the aerobics room, fitness centers and locker rooms (unless showering);
- Around the pools when six feet of physical distancing with another person who is not a member of your family or household cannot be maintained (unless swimming);
- While visiting and using amenities at both the Starpointe and Presidio Residents' Clubs (this includes exercising in the Fitness Centers at both Residents’ Clubs); and
- While waiting to be seated at Lakeside Grill.
Masks/Face coverings will also be required when meeting with team members by appointment at the Community Services Offices.
Parcel 12.23 and 12.24 Blasting Operations
Newland is starting the grading activities on Parcel 12.23 and 12.24 for residential lot development. Parcels 12.23 and 12.24 are on the east side of Estrella Parkway between Westar Drive and Dry Creek Road alignments. From now through August 2020, operations to drill and shoot existing rock under these parcels will be intermittently active. These operations involve a contractor licensed in the use of explosives, permitted and monitored by the City of Goodyear Engineering and Fire Departments.
The scheduled times when drill and shoot operations may be active are typically Monday-Friday between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Morning activity may occur Monday- Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., but would likely only occur due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather. During scheduled activity, the general public may be inconvenienced from walking or driving if traveling Estrella Parkway in the vicinity of Parcels 12.23 and 12.24 by a street and sidewalk closure. These temporary, short closures of Estrella Parkway would typically be between Westar Drive and San Miguel Drive. These closures will typically last 10 to 15 minutes and will involve safety measures including pre-warning signage, and flagmen.
