And a special thank you to Magic Matt for creating his fun balloon creatures and did his amazing magic tricks. See you in October for our Wheatlands Pumpkin Patch event.

Community Information

A friendly reminder, the last day that the pool will be open for the season is Labor Day, Monday, September 4th from 10am-8pm

Landscape Maintenance:

Cox is doubling up their efforts on weeds, normally they do 3 days a week and they have been spending over 5 days a week on treatment. The weeds are continually challenging but doing their best to keep up due to all the rain this summer. They have begun replacing shrubs that were on the shrub audit. We are still looking into how to reopen the bathrooms without having the continued vandalism. Cox is putting together a proposal for daily cleaning that will be reviewed at the next board meeting.  


Pool Maintenance:

As we wind down pool season, the Pool Doctor will be completing a full assessment of both of our outdoor pools. We recognize this pool season was challenging and we had several major repairs to our pools. We always want to stay on top of it and get our repairs and fixes completed during the off season and before the pool opens.  We will be working with the Pool Doctor during the off season to budget for and correct the problems with the pool pumps, heaters, vacuums, etc. We hope to have a much smoother pool season next summer and complete the repairs earlier.


Urban Soccer Field:

During July, we are seeing some major progress on this project. The Pickle Ball court has been installed and we are hoping to have the soccer field completed soon, we are just waiting on the turf. As soon as we get the certificate of occupancy from the City of Aurora, the Y will open the courts for use, add the court schedule to their app and create a reservation system.  You will also be able to check out equipment at the front desk. In the meantime, we hope you can stop by and check out the progress.

COVENANT ENFORCEMENT

FENCE STAINING


Throughout August, the covenant enforcement team has been inspecting perimeter fences to check for needed maintenance. Please check your fences for maintenance as fall temperatures are a great time for fence painting. Please see the fencing section on the website for the approved color for the perimeter fence.
