The indoor pool needs some new parts for the pump and we cannot get them until Monday. We hope to have the pool open by late Tuesday afternoon, after we have repaired the pump and re-balanced the chemicals. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Please note that two bears were seen last night, in phase 3. If you see them please make sure you stay away from them, keep your pets away and keep all food sources secure.
We hope you have had an opportunity to introduce yourself if you have been in the park the past week. He’s definitely been a treasure find!

Safety Changes For This Year:
1. We encourage owners to exit and enter the park using the back gate on Saturday, July 6th, when possible, to minimize traffic entering the front of the park. This should help with congestion and shorten waiting times.
2. Security will have a dual check- in place for front entrance. The first area will be up past the Imax entrance and only members will be allowed to move to the next security check-in gate. IF you plan to have family and guests join you for the fireworks (and we hope you do) then you will need to go out beyond the initial check point and use your gate card or ID for entrance for all. PLEASE try to have guests and family join you by 8pm. This will allow for our security team to minimize lines and increase safety to our park.
3. Treasure lake has allowed public guests to enter the park in years past. Upon our investigation, it was discovered that we would need to purchase Special Event Insurance to cover this event, since it is not part of our daily business routine. our insurance plan covers all owners, guests, and family members on day-to-day operations, but special events require additional coverage. The company providing the fireworks display also carries their own Fireworks insurance. If we allowed the public to enter the event, it would increase the cost of our special event insurance even more. Adding safety to events and for our owners, is also our most important consideration.
4. The location of the firework set-off zone is the same as last year but will expand slightly to add safety. The concert will be under the pavilion at 7pm instead of setting up a stage. hot dog meals will be served out of the CC building next to pavilion from 12-2 pm. a food truck by the pavilion will serve shaved ice, Food, and drinks from 12 pm until 10 pm. Rock n roll cafe will serve Hamburgers, chips, beans, slaw, potato salad and ice cream 11-8 Thursday and Friday, and 11-7pm Saturday.
Thank you for your support to always keep Treasure Lake safe.
