Swimwear & Changing Policy
In keeping with a family-friendly environment, overly revealing swimwear, transparent swimwear and swimwear bottoms such as thongs or t-backs are not permitted at the Briarhills Swimming pool.
Additionally, for the comfort and privacy of all residents, we kindly request that everyone, including children, change using the restrooms and the private bathroom stalls provided. Changing in common areas around the pool is not permitted.
For parents who wish to accompany children of the opposite sex into the restroom, we would like to remind you that there is a family restroom conveniently located just outside the pool gate and beside the lifeguard window. We encourage you to utilize this restroom to assist your children as needed.
Please note that our lifeguards will be enforcing this policy at their discretion, and we ask that all residents comply promptly if requested to do so. Please make sure all family members and guests accompanying you to the pool are aware of this swimwear & changing policy.
Thank you for your help to ensure that our community amenities remain enjoyable spaces for all families.

Tennis Courts
The gate to the tennis courts must remain closed at all times. Please do not prop the gate open. When the gate is propped open, the access control system sends many alerts. There have also been incidents of the gate being left open overnight when no players are playing. If you see the gate propped open, please kindly close it and let the players know in case they did not receive this message.
Please be sure to push the gate all the way closed and ensure that the lock has engaged before leaving the courts. Only residents of Briarhills POA, Briarhills HOA, and Terraces on Memorial are allowed to use the tennis courts. Please report any trespassers to the Constables by calling them at 281-463-6666. In addition, please follow all of the tennis court rules as listed in the BPOA Amenities Information Guide at all times. The following items may not be brought into the tennis facility: pets, prepared food, glass or any breakable container, skates, roller blades, skateboards, bicycles, scooters, soccer balls, or any other play equipment not associated with tennis. Children are not permitted on the courts unless they are actively playing tennis.
As a reminder, the tennis courts are ONLY TO BE USED FOR TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL. Soccer, volleyball, skateboards, roller skates, etc. are never allowed on the tennis courts. Thank you for your cooperation.
Reservations are limited to ONE TENNIS COURT AT A TIME, for a maximum of 90 minutes between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Reserving both tennis courts for the same time slot is not allowed.

Reminders from the Constable
Suspicious persons have been seen in the neighborhood.
|
| |
If you see people of any age in places they should not be day or night immediately call the constable on 281-463-6666. When the operator asks whether it is an emergency, say "Yes."
When reporting suspicious persons try to give a description of the person from head to feet starting with hat, hair, glasses, facial hair, race, color of clothing and direction of travel. The more information available the better chance of the subject being located.
|
Keep your garage doors closed. An open garage door, whether the main entrance or side door, is an invitation to burglars shopping the neighborhood.
Keep all your car doors locked and windows rolled up if you park your car on your driveway, even for a very short time,
e.g. while unloading shopping.
REMOVE all valuables from plain view and lock valuable items in the trunk,
DO NOT leave any articles of value in your car overnight (laptops, money, wallets, purses, etc.)
Theft from unlocked cars is one of the most common crimes in this area.
