Gallup Park Playground Renovation
We are excited to announce renovation of the Gallup Park playground beginning Monday, April 28th.  The playground will close Monday for the start of work anticipated to take 5-6 weeks.  As a favored gathering space for families, friends, and the community, the play structures have provided endless fun, but they have now reached the end of their usable lifespan. Over the past 18 months the Playground Ad-Hoc Committee has worked to reimagine the playground for future generations.  The new layout has many notable features including a new zip-line, a stagecoach play structure, Mommy and Me swing, lots of slides, net climber and a spinner.  The layout also includes extensive shade coverings over the swings and much of the equipment for added comfort. Work will be complete in time for our first summer concert June 13th.  In the meantime, we encourage everyone to enjoy the playgrounds at Dapple Grey Park, Hidden Trail Park and Moulton Park while we work on upgrading the Gallup Park playground.
 
 
New Fire Prevention Committee Chartered
The recent fire season has raised awareness that we have opportunities to improve fire safety in the Nellie Gail Ranch community.  To help move us in that direction, a Fire Prevention Committee has been chartered to begin the process of evaluating the Nellie Gail Ranch governing document guidelines for the Fire Prevention Committee and Fire Prevention Areas.  This Committee will be tasked with creating awareness and enlisting intentional action on the part of homeowners and the association to mitigate fire risk.  Please review the charter and submit your application to admin@nelliegailranch.org.  Appointments will be considered at the May 20th Board Meeting.

Trails Closed Due To Heavy Rain
Due to recent heavy rains and muddy conditions, all trails are currently closed to vehicles. Please refrain from scheduling feed or hay deliveries while the trails remain wet. Each year, we see a few drivers attempt to navigate the conditions, only to get stuck—leading to significant delays and the need for costly recovery efforts.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your specific trail, please reach out to Jeff Hinkle at 949-425-1477 for an inspection and evaluation. Thank you for your cooperation in preserving our trails.

Trails are Closed to Vehicles Due to Muddy Conditions Until Further Notice
Trails are currently closed to all vehicles due to recent heavy rains and muddy conditions. Please do not schedule feed or hay deliveries while the trails are wet. Every year we get one or two drivers who think they can beat the odds and it turns into an ordeal to offload and wait for the trails to dry enough to send out a rescue. If you are not sure about your specific trail condition, please contact Jeff Hinkle at 949-425-1477 and he will inspect and evaluate.

Moulton Arena
Come on down and enjoy the newly renovated Moulton Arena and Round Pen.  The arena is 170 feet by 80 feet and the new round pen is a spacious 50 feet in diameter.  The old gooseneck racing rails have been replaced with upright rails improving safety and providing additional useful riding space.  A walking path surrounds the area and provides access  to a new social area with a hitching post, seating area and a hydration station.  The newly configured Moulton Arena continues the tradition of providing Nellie Gail Ranch Equestrians with first class amenities.
