parks

Green Trails Phase II has six parks that are beautiful and vibrant.  The park volunteers are needed to monitor the playground equipment, grounds, splash pads, water fountains, and garbage canisters and also help with budget planning and reporting maintenance needs.  The pools and tennis courts in these parks are monitored separately from Park volunteers, however, we encourage all residents to “see something, say something”.  For more information about the community's amenities, please visit the Amenities page.

Tables are now being installed. Tree lights were replaced at Gerri Ayers, switching from incandescent to LED. In addition, wiring was corrected to separate electricity provided at the sidewalks from the pavilion. Keys are needed for the interior of the Park Cypress pool. A playground inspection is planned but a new vendor is being researched. There has been vandalism at Crescent Green.

May meeting notes:  An analysis of demand for Gerri Ayers playground was suggested as well as an area incorporating a patio and play area.

June meeting notes:  Quotes to add addresses to park signage have been obtained, 2 parks would have closest proximity to as they don’t have real addresses.  Quote was $600-700.

Pole lights at Desert Ivy not working – one is ballast not working.  The electrician is not willing to use a ladder, requiring the use of a cherry picker.  An overview of current light poles at Desert Ivy was given and a reminder was given that the Crescent Green light project last year cost $17k.  Wisdom woods overview given as well.

Sidewalks – Sidewalks at Allview between Baker and Greenhouse have been reviewed.  This section can’t be lifted by fill method and this section of the HOA shows the sidewalk to be homeowner responsibility. .  The Ember Trails section has been quoted for $6, 418.  This is higher than Peter  Olyniec expected, but also includes 3 other common areas and appears in line with last year’s work.  The concrete pads for mailboxes are the responsibility of the HOA and a request will be made to add to the mailbox pad near park cypress to the quote. 

July meeting notes: Two-sided address signs have been installed at each park. Any unresolved issues regarding Ezee Fiber cables should be reported to Heather at Crest and she will reach out to the county. 

Sidewalks – There is $15,000 in reserve allocated to sidewalks. There are 13 out of 62 common mailbox pads and 2 common areas that are hazards. Board agreed. Longhorn MUD will be contacted regarding Ember Trails sidewalk repair and who is responsible. It was determined Allview sidewalks are the homeowner's responsibility. Work will begin on mailbox pads, while awaiting answers on Ember Trails from Longhorn MUD.  

Mailboxes- Bids will be obtained to clean and paint all mailboxes.
