Our New Pool Opens May 11!

Pool opening day is just around the corner - May 11.

A pool party for the entire neighborhood is scheduled for May 18th (details to be posted in upcoming days, so check the web site often).

Swim-Tennis members should be receiving their welcome package soon. Watch your email box for information about picking up your package.

A pool pre-opening workday is scheduled for this Saturday starting at 9:30 AM. Please come out and help us prepare the pool area for the season, including new furniture!

What follows is an excerpt from Ashton Wood HOA President, Alfie Meek,’s article from last month about the pool improvements:

As I mentioned in my annual letter last October, the Ashton Wood HOA Board has been considering major upgrades and improvements to the pool.  I am happy to let you know that the improvements are underway and will be ready for the pool opening on May 11!!

If you have used the pool in recent years, you know that many of the tiles are cracked, the surface of the pool is rough on your feet, the umbrellas are faded, and the furniture is old and outdated.  

Well, no longer! The entire pool is being re-surfaced with a pebble finish that includes multi-colorpebbles and will have royal blue accent tile around the edges.  In addition, all new pool furniture has been purchased that includes new tables, new chairs, and new chaise lounges as well as new table umbrellas.  Finally, the old chain link fence around the pool area has already been removed and a new, 6-foot fortress steel fence is being put up in its place.  This new fence will have two self-closing, self-locking gates with electronic key pad locks…no longer will we have to deal with the old combination lock and chain.

Your HOA Board is excited about the new changes and upgrades to our pool.  The pool is probably the number one amenity in our neighborhood and I encourage you to check out the upgrades over the next few weeks, and then join the HOA as a swim/tennis member so that you and your family can enjoy the new and exciting pool.  Join before April 1 for only $385 per family and have full use of the pool this summer!

Neighborhood Yard Sale in May - Let Us Know

The Spring Neighborhood Yard Sale will be held May 4th. If we know that at least 7 families want to participate, then a Large Banner will be erected at the neighborhood entrance to attract more traffic than a single-family sign. So, dig out those boxes of junk, oops I mean those cherished items and see what you can get for them.

Let us know you want to participate by using the form on the Contact page of the our web site and select the Yard Sale category.
