L&R has deemed it prudent to close the Beach Club, Roeder Pavilion, the Fitness Center and all the pools and spas.
 
The Beach – The City is closing the beach on weekends effective this weekend until further notice. This is probably due to so many people coming from San Diego, where the beaches have been closed.  Dog Beach is also closed.
