Wheatlands Recreation Center Project

This project is continuing to make great strides.  We secured financing, finalized the building design, hired the construction crew and broke ground last year!  

Did you know as Wheatlands residents you will get a family membership to the YMCA recreation center?  We can’t wait for the indoor pool, fitness studios, teaching kitchen and classes that will be offered for our community.   

To follow along with the construction of our new recreation center visit:

-Please remember to submit signed Notice of Completion, as well as color pictures of completed projects, once your approved project has been completed. 

 Pool and Clubhouse Information 
The board has been working hard with the YMCA to get some much needed work done at the pool and clubhouse. Below is an update on the improvements that are being made:

*Pool and Clubhouse sound system upgrade was approved at January’s board meeting and is scheduled to be completed in March.

*New tables for the pool have been ordered.

* Pool Heater replacement has been completed. 

* Pool Filter addition has been completed.

*Additional metal trash cans for the pool were approved at the last board meeting and will be installed this month.

* Permanent shade structures parts have been ordered. These canopy structures will be bolt mounted into the cement. They will fit along the south side of the pool deck. American Awning and Patio Company has a lifetime hail warranty on the shades. The shades are also removable to be taken down in the winter or as needed. This work will be completed this spring.

* A Fabric shade has also been approved that will be weaved along the top of the pergola to provide additional shade around the pool.


* The Parking lot needs to have row painting and crack filling completed. This will prevent further damage and a more costly fix later. This improvement was approved at the October meeting. We recognize several residents use the clubhouse to park during school pick up and drop off. We will partner and communicate with Pine Ridge to when the parking lot closure will occur. We will also send a communication when we have the date scheduled. Thanks for your patience with this fix.

* upgrading the lighting of the pool bathrooms was approved at the February Board meeting. Lights will be replaced with brighter, longer lasting LED lights.
