Welcome to all pickleball players, old and new. This season we have Rhenn Ramirez as our head pro, with an assisting  staff, all of whom are certified to teach pickleball. They are available for lessons for one, two or three people. Rates are posted at the office. Signup is also arranged at the office with the pros.

In an effort to stay ahead of escalating costs, the pool renovation schedule has been adjusted and we are now hoping to have all three pools completed by the end of the year.

Renovations to Pool 6 are now expected to start within the next week.

Pool 10 renovations are well underway and Pool 5 is just starting.

A reminder that here will be a considerable amount of construction noise and dust, especially during the grinding phase of reconstruction. Residents living close to the pool are advised to keep their windows and doors closed during this phase.

If you any have questions, contact Doug Quinn, operations project manager.
