Facility updates, closures due to the COVID-19 outbreak

Dear residents,

We hope this post finds you and your families doing well despite the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. It’s been a long couple of weeks, we know, but it’s been nice to see more residents out walking and some of the fun sidewalk drawings by kids.

As you know, Indiana’s stay-at-home order has been extended until April 20 and Indianapolis’ mandate is until May 1, so as a result please note the following neighborhood updates:

Clubhouse rentals: All rentals have been suspended until further notice. We’re hoping to reopen the facility on May 1, but the Board will make that determination based on CDC guidelines at that time. This closure also means all Bridge Club and Euchre Club meetings are canceled until further notice.

Playground, tennis and basketball courts: Per guidance of our legal counsel, the playground, basketball court and tennis courts are closed until further notice. The courts typically open Memorial Day weekend, but the Board will make a decision on reopening those facilities based on the the health environment at that time.

Food trucks: We will continue to invite food truck vendors to the Clubhouse as schedules permit and if residents continue to observe proper social distancing guidelines. The stops by Jet’s Pizza, Bagel Boss and Tijuana Flats have been well received and enjoyed by hundreds of our residents, and we'd like to continue as long as the stay-at-home orders are in place. If you have vendor suggestions and contacts please email Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net.

 Pool opening: It is our intention to open the Pool on Memorial Day weekend, per tradition, but that, too, will depend on current CDC guidelines and guard staffing. If you know certified guards looking for summer work, please contact Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samantha.burns51@gmail.com.



Pet request: Now that nice weather is here and pet owners are out walking their furry friends more frequently, residents are reminded to pick up after their animals. Aside from common courtesy, it’s your doo-dooty (sorry, had to). It’s also required under city ordinance. And if you have a vocal outdoor dog, please be considerate and respectful of your neighbors and take your animal indoors if it barks for long periods or at off-hours (Complaints received along Bittern and Warbler Way).

Board elections: Lastly, residents are reminded that the Annual Meeting and Board Elections are in June. Four positions will be up for grabs, so if you’re interested please contact Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net to get your name on the ballot.

As always, feel free to reach out to any Board member with questions or concerns. Hang in there – May is coming!

Board Update: Curb Appeal Award winners, inaugural Card Night on Oct. 10, live music Oct. 21 at Clubhouse!

The Board hopes everyone’s fall season is off to a great start. October is shaping up to be a busy month in Eagle Nest – read on! 2023 Curb Appeal Awards winners announced! The Board is proud to recognize the following lots as winners of our 2023 Curb Appeal Awards, presented to Eagle Nest owners for their outstanding lot and house maintenance. First place (tied): 8031 Teel Way , above left, (Lot 52, Clayton Napier) and 8111 Warbler Way , above right (Lot 229, Todd and Rokeena Williams).  Both homes underwent extensive exterior renovations in recent years, including new roofing, new siding, new paint, wood repair, landscaping and more (all pre-approved by the Rules and Restrictions Committee, by the way). The owners could have saved considerable money by moving to a newer home in another neighborhood, but they chose to stay and invest in their properties. Clearly, the time and effort paid off, as both lots are shining examples of how to bring out the best in a property. Projects like t

Board update: Pool closing Labor Day, annual dog swim, Curb Appeal Awards, live music coming to Clubhouse!

Pool closes Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4  All good things come to and end, as the saying goes, and that includes our 2023 Pool season. Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4, is the last day of operation for our facility, with hours from noon to 8 p.m. It’s been a great summer of swimming, despite a few mechanical and staffing issues, so please be sure to thank Pool Manager Samantha Burns and her lifeguard staff for a job well done. For the most part, our facility was staffed and open daily the entire summer, unlike many of the city’s public pools – including nearby Sahm Park. We hope to see all our guards back next year, but if you know someone interested in joining the Eagle Nest Pool staff, please contact Samantha. In the meantime, enjoy these last days of swimming! Third Annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim on Sept. 4 Calling all Eagle Nest dog owners: Bring your furry friend to the Pool at 8:01 p.m. Monday, Sept. 4, for our third annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim. Residents are welcome to bring their pets (no

The winners of the 2023 Holiday Lights Contest are ...

Every year, judging for our annual Holiday Lights Contest gets tougher and tougher, and 2023 was no exception. This year’s challenge: sizing up more than 100 homes with lot decorations in a variety of colorful shapes, sizes and configurations, some traditional, some creative, all a colorful sign of season. Our independent judge from out-of-state (a former resident, no less!) struggled with all the choices, but after applying stringent judging criteria and washing it through our patented AI matrix, she came up with the following results: 1ST PLACE: 8250 Warbler Way (Tom and Cindy Corbett) Judge’s comment: "Last year's second-place finisher – and previous five-time winner – reclaims the top spot, though barely as competition was stiff all across the neighborhood. This is the property to beat every year.” 2ND PLACE: 8133 Bittern Lane (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Judge's comment: "This display was simply a gem with an eye-popping mix of yard and landscape lighting.
