Basketball Court Resurfacing Project

The outdoor basketball courts at Gallup and Hidden Trail Parks will be closed for repairs beginning Monday, February 8, 2021.

The asphalt surfaces at these parks have excessive cracking that will require re-patching, coating, and striping. The courts are scheduled to re-open Monday, February 15, 2021, to allow time for curing (weather permitting).

Trails Update

Due to the frequent on and off rains, some trails may not be accessible by vehicles even on sunny days. Trail permits are always required for vehicles to enter any of the trails.

In between the rains, the trail maintenance crew clears V-ditches & drains, regrades trails where needed, replaces broken sandbags and removes debris overflows into the city streets. 

Please contact the Association Office for trail conditions before accessing any trail with vehicles or construction equipment until further notice.

Trails are open to hikers and equestrians to use at their own risk, unless the trails are otherwise marked with caution tape or signs.

Sand Maintenance

One of the regular maintenance tasks we perform is sand roto-tilling. This past week we completed roto-tilling of the Clubhouse volleyball court and the playground sand at Moulton Park and Dapple Grey Park. This maintenance results in a softer play surface for our children at the playgrounds and extends the sand life by reducing compaction.

Emergency Sandbags Available at the Clubhouse Parking Lot

Sandbagging is one of the most versatile and effective flood fighting tools to protect against water damage to landscape and homes.  We have received our annual delivery of sand and sandbags for time-sensitive flooding or erosion control concerns that may arise over the Fall and Winter.  They are located in the corner of the Association Clubhouse parking lot adjacent to the storage sheds.  It is self-service and self-fill, please take no more than 10 for quick emergencies that may arise.

Now is also the time to evaluate your slopes and clear your drain culverts and catch basins.  In areas where you have had the previous flooding, it is a lot more effective to order sandbags from your landscaper and place them proactively while it is dry rather than trying to place a few limited sandbags in a downpour.  Please do not divert water to your neighbor’s property as each home is responsible for accepting its own share of runoff.

One additional use for sandbags is they are a great workout at approximately 30 pounds each!
