Our Charleston Harbor Community Pool

Picture
The Charleston Harbor Community Pool is the central gathering place within our community. It is located adjacent to White Rock Lake and the inlet Lighthouse.
The address of the Pool is 6715 N. Charleston Dr., Kansas City, Mo. 64119.

Our pool is now CLOSED for the 2020 season. 

Residents will have to register with Brookwater Management in order to process a 
"Pool Key Card Request" and "Pool Key Waivers" form. This must be must be submitted, verified and processed in order to activate key cards.

​We have a phone (FOR EMERGENCY USE TO CALL 9-1-1) located in the pool house.
​Our family friendly environment is a major draw for residents. The Charleston Harbor Homeowners Association community pool is available for pool parties during the pool season. Contact Brookwater Management to discuss arrangements and make a reservation.


Our Community Pool Is For Homeowners & Families Who Have Paid HOA Dues. Homeowners will need to use the POOL ACCESS CARD for entry into the pool area. There will be NO ADMITTANCE to the pool without a Pool Access Card.

Brookwater Management is the keeper of all records. Any request to obtain a NEW or REPLACEMENT card should be sent to the management company. There are two Online Forms (2020 Charleston Harbor Pool Guidelines and Pool Access Proximity Card Request) on the Brookwater Management site that will need to be completed by the homeowner. Brookwater will determine if you are current on HOA dues and then process the paperwork that will allow authorization of a Pool Access Card.


Important Notice Regarding Pool Rule - NO GLASS ALLOWED
Our maintenance team has found broken glass on the ground behind the deck at the pool in the past. KCMO Health Department Regulations state that ALL GLASS is prohibited from the pool area. (inside the gates).

Should glass be brought into the pool are, the HOA could be forced to close the pool until it is completely drained, power washed twice and refilled. This would mean a downtime of about 2 weeks and cost thousands of dollars. 

If your favorite beverage comes only in glass, pour it into a yeti of other non-glass container outside of the pool gates. Residents or their guests found with ANY GLASS inside the pool gates will have their card shut off and be banned from the pool for the remainder of the pool season. It's not worth it folks. 

Thanks for your help and cooperation in taking care of our pool. 

-Brent DePhillips, Board President

Pool Rules Updated And Posted - July 29, 2016

Kansas City updated their pool ordinances last year and we have updated our pool rules to reflect those changes. Please note that smoking is no longer allowed inside the gated area which includes the wood deck.

A copy of the pool rules is included when you register for your pool access card. We appreciate the overwhelming support the community has expressed for these updates.

Hidden Health Risk And Pool Safety: Pool Parasites

It’s high season for summer fun. According to a recent national survey swimming pools can pose a health threat. In June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a significant rise in the number of illnesses caused by parasites and germs living in swimming pools.

The leading culprit: Cryptosporidium, which can live for days even in well-maintained, chlorinated pools. The microbe, which can cause severe gastrointestinal distress and diarrhea, thrives in pools.

So what can you do to protect yourself? What follows are answers to common questions about water-borne germs, along with health experts’ water-safety tips.

 How do microbes spread? According to the Mayo clinic, Crypto and other parasites and germs enter the body through swallowed pool water, then burrows into the small intestine, often bringing on bouts of diarrhea. In rare cases, death can result if the person has a compromised immune system.

How much can make you sick? Swallowing even a little tainted water tainted can make you sick. Children, seniors, pregnant women, and people with compromised immune systems are most at risk.

What about airborne vapors? Illnesses can also be caused by breathing in mists or aerosols from pools, hot tubs, water parks, fountains, lakes, rivers, or oceans.

Doesn’t chlorine kill germs? In fact, chlorine does not kill all germs instantly. Some can live in chlorinated water for days before the chemical kills them, while others — like Crypto — are resistant to it.

Are GI problems the biggest risk? While gastro-intestinal problems are most common, water-borne germs can also cause serious skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurological, and wound infections.

How can I protect myself? Health experts advise taking the following precautions around recreational-water venues of any kind:


  • Don’t drink the water. Swallowing any water from recreational facilities can be hazardous. Just one swimmer with diarrhea can easily contaminate the water shared by dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of others.
  • Avoid poolside food or drinks that might have come in contact with contaminated water. Never bring anything you might eat or drink into a public pool.
  • Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizers to avoid picking up Crypto from lounge chairs, picnic tables, bathroom fixtures, changing tables, and other fixtures that might have been tainted by an infected person.
  • If you’re taking a cruise, where outbreaks of norovirus and other germs have become increasingly common in recent years, step up your personal hygiene and hand-washing efforts, particularly while swimming, using a hot tub, and partaking of the buffet.
  • Be considerate of others. If you are sick, stay out of the water. Shower before using any public pool or Jacuzzi. And use the bathroom before going for a dip.
  • Parents: Take kids for regular bathroom breaks to avoid “accidents” in the pool, check babies’ diapers, and change them in a bathroom – not poolside – to keep germs at bay.
Ask pool attendants how often they test for chlorine levels and pH. Consider buying pool test strips — available at most hardware stores and pool-supply retailers — and taking them with you on pool outings.
