The chapter is not a commercial facility, but does allow use of its property by nonprofits, youth groups, and members.
Per chapter ground rules and posted signs, to protect members, guests, and wildlife.
Ground rules for facility use
- Do not park or drive on the athletic field.
- Take all trash with you, or use the appropriate trash receptacle — don’t leave trash in campgrounds, pavilions, or other chapter facilities.
- Build fires only in existing fire pits; burn only wood, charcoal, or kindling (no cans, bottles, or food waste).
- Don’t throw rocks on pavilion roofs, tear down signs, dig holes, or otherwise damage chapter property.
- Shooting is prohibited anywhere on chapter grounds except the designated ranges.
- Leave the area cleaner than you found it.
- No child or group of children may be left unsupervised.
- Firewood near campsites 1 & 2 is sometimes available for campground fire pits; otherwise bring your own. Do not take stacked/split wood that is for sale near the large pavilion.
Pets: animals brought to the property must be on a leash at all times. No animals are allowed in buildings except service dogs.
Outhouses: they use septic tanks — never put trash (plastic bottles, bags, etc.) in an outhouse. Clogged tanks cost the chapter money to clear, and groups may be charged.
If you see any issue or damage on the property, please email arlfxiwla@gmail.com right away.
