Event Recap: Ice Cream Social
Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the Wheatlands Ice Cream Social today. We had a great turnout. It was wonderful see all the kids faces light up when they got to add all their own toppings on their ice-cream sundae’s. Have a great school year!
Even Recap: Foam Party
Thank you to everyone that came out for the FOAM Party and last food truck night of the summer. We had a fantastic turnout! The kids loved being covered in bubbles, getting their face painted, swimming in the pool, playing on the playground, and playing games. And everyone enjoyed the delicious food from the food trucks! Have a wonderful school year!
Community Update
Pool Maintenance
The board recognizes the need to resurface the bottom of our outdoor lap pool as well as replace the grates in the zero -entry pool. The board reviewed several quotes at the August board meeting and voted to move forward with Front Range to do the work. They plan to start as soon as the pool closes for the season and will be completed prior to opening next year.
YMCA Partnership
The CFO of the Denver YMCA, David Wyman, has been attending our Wheatlands board meetings once a quarter this year. We appreciate his reporting on memberships, programs, sales, and revenue. We also have the director of the YMCA, Lori Walker, attend our board meetings to discuss upcoming programs, staffing, and building maintenance. This partnership is important to our community, and we are glad to have their representation at our meetings. We welcome neighborhood feedback, so if you have a suggestion, feel free to attend an upcoming meeting or email us at board@wheatlandsmetro.org.
Access Aurora
Did you know the City of Aurora has a website and app that our neighbors can use to report issues to them regarding the streets and sidewalks in our neighborhood? See a pothole and want it fixed? Use the app and report it. You can also report E motorcycles, E Dirtbikes, street parking violations and more. To report an issue, visit their website at https://www.auroragov.org/city_hall/contact_us
Water Usage
We continue to do our part to conserve water and reduce our water consumption during this summer’s drought. WheatlandsMetroDistrict’s recommended water use for the August billing period was 5,877,100 gallons and actual water use for the month was 2,836,000 gallons or 48% of recommended
Coventant Enforcement
As summer comes to an end and the vibrant colors of fall begin to grace our neighborhood, the district would like to thank all homeowners for their continued efforts in maintaining the beauty and harmony of our community. With the changing season, we have a few important reminders and updates to help keep Wheatlands looking its best.
Seasonal Maintenance Reminders
Yard & Exterior Appearance
Please continue to keep side yards, porches, patios, and windows tidy and free of unsightly items such as:
- Dead plants or leaves
- Toys, bikes, tools, and seasonal clutter
- Empty planters, watering cans, and garden tools
Fall Cleanup
- Remove fallen leaves from rock beds, driveways, and sidewalks to prevent buildup and maintain curb appeal.
- Trim back overgrown bushes and trees to prepare for winter dormancy.
- Refresh mulch or rock beds in exposed areas.
Tree & Plant Health
- Prune out any dead branches in the trees and shrubs.
- Remove dead or dying landscaping and replace as needed.
Continuing Weed Maintenance
Weed control is a year-round responsibility. Even in cooler months, weeds can take root and spread quickly.
- Regularly inspect and remove weeds from rock beds, driveways, and sidewalks.
Exterior Home Maintenance
- Inspect and touch up paint on siding, trim, garage doors, and porch railings.
- Clean and repair gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage during fall rains and snow.
- Check for damage to garage doors and exterior fixtures and address as needed.
ARC Requests & Fence Staining
- All exterior changes must be submitted for ARC approval before work begins.
- Fence staining must use the pre-approved product.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and commitment to keeping Wheatlands a beautiful and welcoming place to live. Your efforts help preserve the aesthetics, safety, and value of our community.

By adopting proven technology used by leading YMCAs across the country, we are modernizing how you interact with our programs, classes and facilities.

- Sept. 1: Last day to reserve classes a full 10 days in advance in the current system. You can reserve classes taking place through Sept. 10.
- Sept. 2 – 6: Reservations will temporarily be limited. You can continue making reservations for classes taking place through Sept. 7, but reservations for later dates will not be available.
- Sept. 7: No class reservations can be made as we complete the transition to the new system.
- Sept. 8: Our new reservation system launches! Beginning this day, all class reservations will be made in the YMCA app/new system.
