Should be able to have food and beverages at tables around pool as long as they clean up and throw away everything. Kids especially need something to munch on and rehydrate. Would be nice if there was a designated area with an ashtray so smokers could also enjoy the pool where they pay rent. One of those Ashtrays that u stick the bud in and sand it at the bottom. Has a long plastic neck. So then you wouldn't have to worry about cigarette buds flying into the pool. No reason everyone can't be happy at the community pool. Thank You!
