For the 2006 summer season, the changes since last season were:
• Installed a new chair rack
• Moved the miniature golf and added another hole for the kids
• Added a fence to the front gate
• Installed a new computer system for member check-in
• Moved all the grills to the perimeter of the picnic area for
additional child safety
• Purchased a new volleyball net, which can be installed within minutes
between the poles on the basketball courtOther changes were also implemented as a result from the survey conducted
over the winter. We hope you are satisfied with the changes and the overall
cleanliness of the facilities.
In January, several trees were trimmed in the picnic area and the parking lot; limbs were getting to be a safety concern. Bathhouse was completely repainted and the floor were power washed to remove the loose epoxy.. Other projects included adding an amplifier and speakers for our intercom system, and some extra landscaping in several areas. The baby pool and gutters on the upper pool received a fresh coat of paint before opening day. The storage area for chairs was improved, adding another rack and moving existing racks to allow more room. In addition a new Terrace/Pavers step was installed to replace the old wood steps. These projects were completed by members to save the club labor costs.
