Pool closes Monday, Sept. 1; hours are noon to 8 p.m.

Image
All good things come to end, as the saying goes. And that includes our 2025 Pool season. Monday, Labor Day, is the last day our Pool will be open, with hours of operation from noon to 8 p.m. Note: The deep end will be closed, due to water clarity issues. If we don’t have any swimmers at 7:30 p.m., we’ll shut down at that time to begin the closure process. Unfortunately, the dog swim tentatively scheduled for 8:01 p.m. has been canceled because we were not able to secure liability releases in time for the event. Next year! It’s been a great run – open daily since Memorial Day. Not all area neighborhood pool facilities can say that. Even nearby Sahm Park, with all its city resources, has had limited hours of operation. Let’s all thank Pool Manager Samantha Burns and our dedicated guard staff for another successful swim season! Up next: Car Show on Sept. 21 Our social opportunities don’t end with the Pool’s closure. On Sunday, Sept. 21, join us at the rear Clubhouse parking lot for our se...

Eagle Nest Car Show: Back on the Road Again (Sept. 21)

Image
A September car show at the Eagle Nest tennis courts is a great chance for neighbors to gather and welcome the arrival of fall, organizer Tom Ford says. The Eagle Nest Car Show, first held in October 2021, drew dozens of residents eager to admire everything from MGBs and Mustangs to a Fiat Spider. Tom says the return has been a long time coming. ( Click here to see a photo gallery from the 2021 event .) “Time gets away from you — I thought it was two years, but it’s been four," he said. "We did this in 2021 and it seemed to go over OK. We had a pretty good turnout, and it felt like a lot of people enjoyed it. So I thought, let’s do it again.” A show for every ride While the flyers mention “classic cars,” Tom wants everyone to know the event is bigger than that. “The flyer says ‘classic cars,’ but I mean any car you want to show off,” he said. “They don’t have to be classics. They can be new ones, old ones, American or foreign. I’d like to have motorcycles there, too. It’s no...

Let there be LIGHT at our Hague Road entrance!

Image
FINALLY! More than a year after an uninsured motorist destroyed our Hague Road entrance monument, including months of inaction by the local power utility, we have lights again! The construction cones, cleanup tarps and construction barrel are gone, and all is almost as it was. More photos: Click here to see the damage after the crash. Up next: replacing the deb ris-filled dirt with fresh soil, adding fresh mulch and landscaping rocks in preparation for plantings next season. If you see our grounds team working at the monument, please use caution entering and exiting so they can work safely. Thanks to all our residents for your patience as we struggled with multiple third parties to restore one of the front doors to our beautiful neighborhood.

Heads-up: Effective Monday, Aug. 11, daily Pool hours modified to 4-8 p.m., weekends unchanged

Image
Now that school has started, we've seen a decline in daily Pool use, and our lifeguard availability has been impacted, as well. As a result, we've modified our Pool hours of operation for the rest of the season. Effective Monday, Aug. 11: Open weekdays from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday hours remain the same: noon to 8 p.m. These changes are effective until the facility closes for the season on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1. We know these changes may be inconvenient or surprising for some, but our guard staffing flexes every year as resident Pool use slows down. Even with reduced hours, Eagle Nest still provides a venue and service unmatched by surrounding neighborhoods, thanks to our committed guard staff and Pool Manager Samantha Burns . Sure, the Pool has seen a few green water days, but water quality has been certified safe. And we’ve been open daily (OK, one late opening) since Memorial Day – not a lot of area facilities can say that! We hope residents have been enjoying w...
