A Living Legacy

Tennis and Pickleball Court Update:

We are getting closer!! We have received confirmation that the pickleball nets are no longer on backorder. They have been shipped. The plan is to have them installed by the end of next week.

We did receive the tennis court net. The net was installed today!! Grab some friends and get the matches going.

Quarter 2 Association Dues

Reminder: The deadline to pay the second quarter due is June 30th. Payments must be received by close of business on the 30th in order to avoid late fees. This means no later than 4:00 PM. We will check the dropbox before we leave at 4:00 PM. Again, any payments after 4:00 PM (Close of business) will be late.

Thank you to those that have already paid.

Sports Courts Update

This week, crews began installing the acrylic playing surfaces. The acrylic surface will not only help protect and prolong the life of the asphalt, but will provide a smooth and standard playing surface. As you will see in the pictures below, it also looks cool!!

First coat: The purpose of the black resurface coat is to fill voids and pits in the asphalt. This sets up a smooth surface for the colored playing surface coatings.

Crews applying the color coated surfacing. Two coats of each color was applied.

Sweet!!!

Suqulak Trl Park and Lodge Park Basketball courts

We need to let the surface sit up for 5 days. Please do not enter onto the courts. Please review with your kids, friends, and guests.

Items Remaining:

  • Paint boundary lines on all sports courts.
  • Install new rims on the lodge basketball court.
  • Install tennis nets, and pickle ball equipment.

Thank you!

Boater Safety Review

We want to thank everyone for being respectful and respective to the boat patrol staff over the weekend. We understand it can be a bit of an inconvenience when they stop you, but we appreciate the fact that you respect that they are just doing their job. Below are a few items of note from the weekend from a safety standpoint.

  • The speed light during daylight hours is 35 mph on the water.
  • All areas have a speed limit of idle speed during evening hours, from dusk on.
    • Dusk is notified by the blinking red light at the dam and at the flagpole at the beach. If you see the red light, all areas are idle speed.
  • All coves are idle/no-wake speed at all hours of the day. This includes 100′ from all shorelines in the main body. These are the areas between the buoys and shorelines.
  • If your child is not 16 and does not have a boat safety card, they can not operate a jet ski or watercraft alone. They must have someone that is at least 18 with them. If the person with them was born 1982 or later, they must have a boater safety card.
  • If you are pulling a tube or a skier, you must have another person in the boat acting as a spotter.
  • Lastly, if you don’t have a Yellow “21” sticker on your watercraft, please stop by the office this week. We will start issuing fines for this.

Thanks again for working with the boat patrol staff. They are there to help. If you are safe and follow the lake rules, all will be good.

Be safe,

Mike
