Key Rules for Hopewell Quarry

In the Quarry

  • No rocking, pushing, or wrestling on the tubes or rafts

  • No jumping or diving through tubes

  • No sitting or hanging on diving boards

  • No more than 1 person on a diving board at a time

  • No non-swimmers on quarry apron, steps or on diving boards

    NO littering 

    NO smoking…All smoking must be done at least 50 feet from the nearest entrance or fence

    NO lingering after closing time (we blow the whistle 15 minutes prior to closing to allow you enough time to efficiently leave the property). This rule is in place because we need to lock the gates and the parking lots to ensure the safety of the facility after closing time

    NO unattended children (any individual under 13 is considered a child) in swimming pool, quarry or patio area…parents/guardians are responsible for their children's actions and behavior 

    NO improper swimming attire 

    NO pets 

    NO glass bottles 

    NO personal grills of any kind; exceptions made for religious reasons only

    NO Running, boisterous or rough play, pushing, acrobatics, dunking, wrestling, splashing, yelling, diving or jumping haphazardly, snapping of towels, abusive or profane language, improper conduct causing undue disturbances in or about the pool area or any acts which would endanger any patron are grounds for expulsion. 

    NO person within the complex shall behave in such a manner as to jeopardize the safety, health and enjoyment of himself/herself and others. Doing so is grounds for expulsion. 

  • Children under 13 entering the pool complex must be accompanied and actively supervised at poolside by a responsible adult, 18 years old or older. Children (5) five years and under need to have a responsible adult, 18 years old or older in the water with them at all times. 

    Any person having a skin disease, sore or inflamed eyes, cold, nasal or ear discharge, communicable disease, or who is wearing any kind of bandage or band-aid will not be permitted in the pool. Persons having any considerable area of exposed sub-skin, tissues, open blisters, cuts, etc., are warned that these are likely to become infected. Such persons may not use the pool.

    Any adult or child who is experiencing a case of diarrhea may not use the pool. 

  • During storms, the Quarry and pool will be closed and the entire area cleared of patrons at the discretion of the Pool Manager. Due to limited cover, patrons are encouraged to seek shelter elsewhere. The Quarry will normally open thirty (30) minutes after the last thunder or lightning strike, as per the regulations of the American Red Cross Association.

    The Hopewell Quarry reserves the right to refuse admittance into the swimming facility when the capacity of the pool has been reached or when otherwise deemed necessary for the health, welfare or safety of its patrons.
