Board Update: Free Kona Ice snow cones at Annual Party, Pool hours adjusted, Food Truck Tuesday with Bearded Burgers

Hello Eagle Nest residents,
 
Here is the latest neighborhood news for the week of July 26:
 
KONA ICE COMING TO ANNUAL PARTY ON SUNDAY, AUG. 1

Here’s something the kids don’t want to miss: free Kona Ice snow cones at the Annual Party! That’s right, from noon to 2 p.m. in the Clubhouse parking lot, the Board is treating every little Eagle Nester (OK, adults, too) to a free 8-ounce shaved ice cup. And here’s the fun part: Everyone can pour on their favorite flavors from a wide range of self-serve choices. Simply present your Pool pass to get your freebie. (One cone per person, please.)

Some of you may remember we invited Kona Ice to the Clubhouse last year, and they were a huge hit among families. We’re looking forward to another great visit this Sunday.

Don’t forget there’s free lunch inside the Clubhouse, too! The Board is providing free fried chicken, side salads, lemonade and beer (for those 21 and older). Per tradition, we ask residents to bring/donate a side salad, tray of assorted cheese and crackers or fruit, chips, dips, etc., for neighbors to enjoy. We’ll have tables set up inside the Clubhouse so you can eat and meet fellow Eagle Nesters. Families are welcome to eat outside in the upper pool patio, too. It’s all to say thank you for making our neighborhood a residential destination! Hope to see you there!

POOL HOURS CHANGE THIS WEEK FOR REST OF SEASON

With school starting in the coming weeks, our Pool operating hours will be adjusted to accommodate our lifeguards’ availability. Effective Monday, July 26, the Pool will be open weekdays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., with the first and last half hour daily reserved for adult swim. Weekend hours are changing, too: Saturdays and Sundays the facility will be open from noon to 6 p.m., with the first and last half hour daily for adult swim. These changes are effective the rest of the season.

We know these changes may be inconvenient or surprising for some, but our Pool staffing flexes every year as vacations wind down and pool use drops. Even with reduced hours, Eagle Nest still provides a venue and service unmatched in several parts of the city. As might know, many area pools struggled to open because of lifeguard shortages. In fact, Indianapolis barely opened half of its 20 city pools this year, including nearby Sahm Park. Luckily, we secured our staff early and have been operational nearly every day since Memorial Day.

In other pool news: Unfortunately, a lifeguard’s bike was stolen last Friday from the bike rack on the east side of the Clubhouse. We rarely have trouble with theft at the Pool, so this bad news comes as a surprise. If you or a family member ride your bike to the Pool, we encourage you to bring a lock to secure your property.

FOOD TRUCK TUESDAY: IT’S BEARDED BURGER!

Summer is made for cookouts, but sometimes you’re hungry and there’s no time to fire up the grill. No worries, Bearded Burger has you covered. This week’s Food Truck Tuesday guest is a new concept from the same folks who operate the Bearded Bagel (formerly Bagel Boss). The menu is simple but delicious: smashburgers with fries, chicken sandwiches with fries, or chicken tenders with fries. Incredible sides include fried corn nuggets, bacon mac’n cheese bites, fries, tater tots and onion rings. Oh, don’t forget you can add bacon to your burger or chicken sandwich!

@BeardedBurger is a continuation of our weekly partnerships with local food vendors. Every Tuesday is a food truck, and every Thursday is Jet’s Pizza through September. Check the blog Events page to see who’s coming next and when.

We’ve seen a few pop up around the development in the wake of the June 18 hail storm, but unfortunately these do not qualify for display, per the Eagle Nest Signage Policy approved by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2021, and recorded with Marion County on February 23, 2021, as part of the Association's Declarations of Restrictions. Exception: Contractors signs are permitted only on the day of active repairs – generic promotion signs are not.

Unapproved signs will be removed. Got a sign you want to display? Submit a request -- just snap a photo of the sign and email it with a description (materials, size, duration of display) to RulesRestrictions@att.net.
