MAINSTREET COMMUNITY IDENTIFICATION
Mainstreet is your home. Be proud to be a part of this community and Dekalb County. The recreational facilities are spread out over seventy acres of green space and, consequently they are impossible to maintain without community cooperation.
Visible membership identification is a necessity if non-residents are to be kept from using the facilities. The membership identification card issued to you will be required at all times for you to use the facilities. Persons not having proper identification will be asked to leave if not accompanied by a MCSA resident.
The staff cannot patrol all of the community facilities; the community must question all individuals who do not have visible membership identification and ask non-residents to leave.
The following items pertain specifically to you and your membership identification.
1. Your membership identification (both adults and children over the age of 7) must be visible when using all outdoor facilities.
2. Tennis players are asked to hang their identification from a belt loop, on the net, or in a conspicuous place so you are recognized as a resident.
3. NO ONE will be allowed to enter the pool area without membership identification. Pool guests will be issued guest passes at a nominal fee either by the office or the lifeguard. Membership identification will be checked by the staff member at the pool gate and left on file while you are in the pool area.
4. Please wear your identification card or make it visible while picnicking, playing on the fields, fishing at the lake or playing in the park areas. If you do not have your identification, you will be asked to leave.
5. Loaning of an identification card is prohibited. Violators of this rule may be subject to loss of facilities use.
6. A lost identification card should be reported to the clubhouse immediately. There will be a replacement charge.
Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy using your facilities.
