Last Updated 6.19.20
We are pleased to announce The Pointe at Ballwin Commons is scheduled to reopen on Monday, June 15 with modified hours. We will be following the guidelines issued by St. Louis County and have instituted some changes to typical operations.
Our new hours are as follows:
Monday - Friday: 5:15 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday: 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Admission is limited to members only (no daily admission will be allowed at this time) and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Members include Pointe, Pointe Plus, Platinum, Silver Sneakers, Renew Active, Silver & Fit, Active & Fit, and Gympass. We are required by St. Louis County to operate at 25% of our normal capacity, so no more than 325 members can be in our facility at one time. Members will need to enter the facility through the west entrance and exit through the north entrance (these will be clearly marked).
Since the facility closed on March 17th, all monthly memberships were not processed and all annual memberships were put on hold. On Monday, June 15, memberships will resume. For those who pay annually for your membership, you will receive a 3-month extension added to your membership’s current expiration date (annuals that expired will receive the equal amount of time that was left on their pass before expiring). If you pay monthly dues, your payment will process on June 30th or July 15th (depending on your payment schedule). Please direct all questions regarding membership to Recreation Manager Gayle Junge at gjunge@ballwin.mo.us.
