The Stonebridge Ranch Beach Club is located at 6201 Virginia Parkway. For more than 35 years, this original amenity including an iconic beach and swim lagoon and overlook to beautiful Stonebridge Lake served up family fun!

In the course of regular pool maintenance we had a leak detection survey done by On The Spot Leak Detection. It revealed a significant loss of water on a daily basis. This loss is both financially and environmentally unacceptable, and repairs to the pool were not feasible.

So, after decades of service, the Stonebridge Ranch Beach Club swim lagoon was drained on July 7, 2024, setting the ball in motion for a new Beach Club pool facility.

Details are in development for the new version of the Beach Club; but rest assured it will be a fitting successor to the original!

We will keep you posted on timelines and events through our Facebook page and also through the weekly Friday Flash newsletter. (Haven’t signed up for the Flash? Sign up here!)

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy the Aquatic Center open on its regular hours 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Wednesday – Sunday during the annual SRCA swim season.  (The Aquatic Center is closed on Tuesdays for cleaning.)

The Aquatic Center is staffed by professional lifeguards during all open hours. Read on for all details including Homeowner Access, Bringing Non-Resident Guests, and Pool Rules.

POOL CALENDARS 

Here is the revised 2024 pool calendar. Please note that on rainy days when thunder and/or lightning are present, the lifeguards call a thirty-minute safety break and then reassess the situation.

HOMEOWNER ACCESS

  • Homeowners and their household members may enter the pool gates (and do so free of charge) if their SRCA account is in good standing. To be in “good standing” means you have an account balance less than $50.
  • To enter the pool gates, Stonebridge Ranch homeowners and each of their household members (ages 3+) must provide proof of residency by presenting a valid form of Stonebridge Ranch Photo ID. (Note that children age 0-13 cannot enter the pool gates without a parent or designated guardian who is at least 18 years of age.)
  • If a property owner wishes to transfer amenity privileges to a tenant, both the landlord and tenant must fill out the Transfer of Privileges Form. The form also requires an annual $100 processing fee. The association does not mediate which party pays the fee, nor do we offer a prorated fee based on when you turn in your form.
  • Homeowners electing to lease their home in accordance with SRCA’s governing documents must complete a Lease Registration Form and submit a non-refundable registration fee of $100 per year for each leased property.  The deadline to register is January 31, 2023, for homes in a current lease or within 30 days after an owner executes a lease agreement for a home not previously registered on or after February 1, 2023. Failure to register and/or submit the required form and fee will result in a $250 fine per month starting February 1, 2023.
  • You can download the form via the link above, request an emailed copy via STONEB@Ciramail.com, or stop by the office (6201 Virginia Parkway, M-F 8:30 AM to 5 PM) to pick one up.
  • Parents need to replace the photo ID card for a growing child about every three years, as the child’s appearance changes. There is no fee for replacing photo IDs for growing children. However, you must provide the documentation noted here each time you replace a child’s photo ID.
  • To replace lost photo ID cards, the association charges a $5 fee. The fee is payable at the office by check or money order. (We do not accept cash or credit cards.)

BRINGING NON-RESIDENT GUESTS

  • On non-holidays during the 2023 season, each household in good standing may bring up to eight (8) guests to either pool. On recognized pool holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, Stonebridge Ranch Day, and Labor Day), each household may bring up to three (3) guests. Note: the number of guests permitted to the pool is subject to change depending on state-mandated headcount capacities related to COVID-19.
  • Each guest (age 3+) must pay a fee at the pool gates to enter. We accept cash and personal checks. We appreciate exact cash, and we do not make change for bills higher than $20. The cost for ages 3-49 is $5. For seniors age 50+, the cost is $1.

POOL RULES

  • Smoking and vaping are not permitted at the Beach Club or Aquatic Center, in SRCA common area/amenities, or at SRCA events.
  • Visitors may bring food and beverages (including alcoholic items) within the pool gates. However, glass containers are strictly prohibited for the safety of all. Be sure to transfer food and drink items (everything from pickles to BYOB drinks) into non-breakable containers.
  • All pool visitors accept and assume all risk related to COVID-19.
  • If you ride a bike to one of the pools, park it in the designated bike rack. Bikes are not permitted within the pool gates and may not be parked against fencing, trees in landscaped areas, etc.
  • Golf carts may not be parked on grass, sidewalks, etc. Golf carts may be parked only in parking lot spaces and must be operated on public streets in accordance with City of Mckinney ordinances.

  • Working service animals are permitted within pool gates, but pets are not permitted.
  • Family-friendly, appropriate swimwear is required. (Cut-off jean shorts and thong bathing suits are not permitted.)
  • Infants and small children must wear swim diapers AND plastic pants.
  • Every hour the lifeguards call a Safety Break. Swimmers age 18 and under must exit the water for ten minutes. Parents, please encourage your children to use the restroom, drink water, apply sunscreen, etc. during this designated time.
  • Diving is not permitted at either pool.
  • Parents/guardians may not leave young children or children with special needs unsupervised.
  • Toys may be used at the discretion of the lifeguards. We permit the following pool toys: safety flotation devices, sand toys, balls, and flotation “noodles.” We do not permit large rafts, inner tubes, water guns/water cannons, water balloons, or mermaid tails.
  • Please walk in all pool areas. For your safety, running and horseplay are not permitted.
  • In-line skates, skateboards, scooters, etc. must be kept outside of all pool and sport court gates.
  • Chairs are not permitted in the pool water.
  • Food and drinks are not permitted in the pool water.

LAKE ACCESS

Stonebridge Ranch residents are not permitted to launch their own personal watercraft from the pier. 

You may see watercraft on the lake during non-open pool hours. This is because residents with lakefront property are permitted by their village.
