Can we have “adults only” time at our [pool, clubhouse, tennis court, jogging path, etc.]?
Probably not. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (federal law) prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of housing, or the provision of amenities in housing, on (among other things), age and familial status. A rule or regulation that prohibits use of an amenity (such as a pool) by a certain age group runs afoul of the law. A restriction to lap swimming for certain hours is an example of a restriction that might accomplish the same purpose (after all, most kids come to the pool to play, not for exercise) but would not violate the law.
