Clubhouse and Pool updates ...

Fellow Eagle Nest residents,

The Board hopes everyone's summer is going well and that everyone had a great Fourth of July holiday. We wanted to pass along a few quick updates about our neighborhood amenities.

Clubhouse: You might have noticed the front entrance looks a little different. The Board last week removed the failing decade-old wooden steps and installed new concrete steps -- including a handicapped accessible ramp. Once the steps have completely cured, our contractor will add rails along the ramp to complete the project.

This improvement was made after continued feedback from residents, as well as the Board's goal to make our facilities more ADA compliant. Next steps include the construction of a sidewalk on the east side of the Clubhouse wheelchairs and strollers can better access the facility, although the timing of that project is still undetermined. Eventually, the primary entrance to the Pool could shift to the opening nearest the Playground, with the current entrance reserved for those who need special access. The Board also is looking into installing permanent picnic tables near the Playground.

Pool: After several years of wear and tear, our Poolside basketball goal rim finally fell apart and needed replacement. Our Pool staff repaired the goal several times -- a resident even tried to weld it to help save costs -- but in the end it was unsavable. So, ... we bought a new one, and we'd like to see this one last, of course.

Please be responsible pool basketball players -- don't hang on the rim, and avoid "slam dunks." Our guard staff will be watching the equipment closely to ensure proper use, and they have the Board's blessing to enforce the "you break it, you buy it" rule. This applies to all residents and their guests.

As always, the Board welcomes your suggestions (and yes, even complaints) to ensure Eagle Nest remains the residential destination in Indianapolis.
