April 2023 News:
In preparation for the new season, the Board completed another of our phased capital improvements, which was to repave the parking lot. Many of you asked about the tennis courts. Let us review where we are in the phased improvements and what is still ahead.
In 2019, the membership approved an annual fee to support the capital improvements that were needed for our almost 50 year old pool facility. The first was to build a small deck/café patio as well as replace the larger deck. The small deck and a pergola/patio area were installed in 2021. The large deck was installed in 2022. The next phase of improvements was to be a year-round pavilion to replace the tennis courts and the repaving of the parking lot. The final phase was to be a bathhouse upgrade. It will take several years to build up the savings in our capital improvement fund to implement the planned phases. Meanwhile, our parking lot was in such bad shape that it needed to be addressed in the short term, so the Board moved ahead on that improvement.
Also, thank you to our new sponsor that will be supporting our swim and dive summer program. SEASONAL ROOTS
