5 things you need to know about today’s Pool opening for 2025


The event Eagle Nest residents have been waiting for is finally here! No, not the Indy 500, not Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals for our Pacers – we’re talking about today’s opening of our 2025 Pool season!

Starting today at noon, Sunday, May 25, residents in good standing are welcome to enjoy our neighborhood’s most popular amenity!

Five things you need to know about our Pool opening:

No. 1: Pool access fob required.
As a reminder, last year the Board eliminated the plastic pool tags in favor of issuing one electronic access fob per lot. If you paid your dues and your payment has cleared, your fob will be activated and ready to swipe at the front gate. If it doesn’t work, contact Board Vice President Jason Van Meter at jpvanmeter@sbcglobal.net or Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net.

No. 2: We are open daily!
Unlike the nearby Sahm Park Aquatic Center or other area neighborhood pools, our facility will be open daily from noon to 8 p.m. daily. Thanks to our awesome lifeguard team for that! In the event of inclement weather, lifeguards on duty will determine temporary or full closure for the day. Adult-only swim times and dates for free swim lessons will be announced in the weeks ahead.

No. 3: Guards will not open the gate.
In the interest of safety and keeping our facility secure, our lifeguard staff has been instructed not to open the gate for any reason. It is not their job to manage entry – that’s the Board’s job. “I forgot my fob” won’t work, so let’s avoid unnecessary awkwardness. Concerns? Contact Board Vice President Jason Van Meter at jpvanmeter@sbcglobal.net or Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net.

No. 4: Lot violations mean no entry.
If your lot is in violation of our covenants, your Pool fob won’t work. Violation examples include leaving your blue Republic garbage cart or boat or trailer out for all to see, or a lawn or landscaping that is unsightly. Once corrected (and the Board has confirmed it), you will be able to access the facility. Contact Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net to discuss any lot issues.

No. 5: Pool rules – please follow them.
The Eagle Nest Pool is a family-friendly facility and we want to keep it that way. The Board encourages and expects all residents to read our Pool rules on the blog. Violators will be ejected and risk the loss of future Pool access. Our lifeguard staff appreciates your cooperation for everyone’s safety.

Operational questions and suggestions can be directed to Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samanthaburns51@gmail.com.

We hope you enjoy the summer ahead and stay cool at our wonderful facility!

On behalf of the Board,
Scott Thien, President

82 nd Street road construction closure April 7-15 According to an April 2 release from the City of Indianapolis, 82 nd Street will be closed starting Monday, April 7, to Tuesday, April 15, between Craig Street and Castleton Road (basically between Speedway and Sparkling Image) for Nickel Plate Trail construction and railroad track removal. Detour signage will direct drivers to use Allisonville Road, 96th Street and I-69 to navigate around the closure. Businesses in the area will remain accessible to the public, Roberts wrote. Don’t get caught off guard! Plan ahead and leave early for work or school, as this will be a major disruption for the next week. (Take note, Starbucks lovers!)

And the 2024 Holiday Lights Contest winners are …

Image
Each year, it gets harder and harder to pick the winners in the annual Holiday Lights Contest – and that’s a good thing. It’s so refreshing, uplifting and encouraging to see the spirit of the holidays on full display across the neighborhood, in big ways and small. This year’s panel of judges – a Board member’s relatives visiting from Florida and Belgium (no joke!) – were amazed by the effort so many homeowners put into decorating their lots and homes. And so with that, the winners are (drum roll please) … First place (tie): 8250 Warbler Way/Lot 120 (Tom and Cindy Corbett) First place (tie): 8133 Bittern Lane/Lot 217 (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Second place: 8133 Tanager Court/Lot 276 (Arlo and Heather Meyer) Third place (tie): 8019 Tanager Lane/Lot 285 (Eric and Cheryl Herzog) Third place (tie): 8331 Mockingbird Lane/Lot 92 (Brian and Brandy Schneider) Let’s not forget some outstanding honorable mentions: Bittern Lane: 8015, 8020, 8102, 8111, 8112, 8133 Warbler Way: 7710, 772...

Board Update: Pool Party with free food, new fob access, cleanup crew recap; Annual Garage Sale June 7-8; dues deadlines approaching and more!

Hello, Eagle Nesters! The Board hopes your spring is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe with all the cold, rainy weather of April that the Pool will be open in barely a month. In preparation for that, it’s time to share a few updates about the 2024 swim season: Nearly a dozen residents turn out to deep clean the Pool A huge thanks goes out to the volunteer team led by Bittern Lane residents John and Cindy Spicklemire for organizing a deep clean of Pool facility on Saturday, April 27. The team of 12 spent hours power washing the chairs to address years of sunblock stains and removing wall grime, while others pulled weeds, cleaned the tables and swept up debris. In return, the Board brought in Jimmy John’s sandwiches, chips and water to keep our cleaning crew fueled up. That was a small price to pay for what would have cost thousands of dollars in labor and time to hire a contractor to do the same work. Be sure to give these neighbors a hearty thanks for their cleanup efforts: J...
