🚨 Planning to Bring Guests to the Pool This Weekend? Read This First!

Every weekend we have families arrive at the pool excited to spend the day with friends and guestsβ€”only to discover they don't have the required guest passes. Unfortunately, our gate staff cannot make exceptions, and it's never fun having weekend plans disrupted at the entrance.

⏰ Please remember: The VOU Office closes at 4:00 PM on Fridays.

If you plan to bring guests to any VOU pool over the weekend, please make sure your guest passes are taken care of before the office closes on Friday.

A little planning now can save a lot of frustration later and helps our pool staff avoid being put in difficult situations.

Thank you for helping us keep pool operations running smoothly and ensuring everyone has a great weekend at the pools! β˜€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ

🎀🎢 What a wonderful evening at Harris Street Pool!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy our Open Mic Night, proudly sponsored by Renee's Music Studio and The 9th Lane Food & Snack Bar!

From talented performers sharing their music and voices, to neighbors cheering them on, enjoying snacks, treats, and great conversation, the evening was a perfect reminder of what makes the Villages of Urbana such a special community.

Events like these bring us together, create new friendships, support local talent, and give us the opportunity to enjoy summer nights with our neighbors.

Thank you to everyone who sang, performed, listened, volunteered, and helped make the event a success. We loved seeing families, friends, and residents of all ages come together for a night of music, laughter, and community spirit.

We look forward to seeing everyone again at future events!
