Signs at the Park

Based on feedback from homeowners at the last meeting, the officers undertook ordering and installing new signage at the neighborhood park. We used a local small business, Ace Signs in Bremerton, and Jim Cole volunteered to install the new signs. They are aluminum and should last a very long time looking great!

We also installed one additional welcome sign at the “back entrance” to the park – the path that ends above the tennis courts. This means that both entrances have posted welcome signs letting visitors know they are on private property. A big thank you to Sawyer Drew and Jim Cole for installing the new post in concrete for us!

The “back entrance” to the park has a chain between two posts that is used to keep vehicles from entering the park. The lock has not been used in years, is rusted, and had a key. We replaced the lock with a new combination lock (same combo as all other HOA locks, see Facebook page for that information or email the officers). Anyone can still walk or ride a bicycle around the posts.

Finally, thank you to Kristin Drew for posting “No trespassing” signs on the park fence to face SE Bielmeier Road. It should now be abundantly clear to any visitors that this is not a public park. If you happen to see visitors in the park who are not following our posted guidelines or acting suspiciously, you can be an assertive neighbor and either 1) inquire whether they are guests of a homeowner, if you feel safe to do so, in which case the homeowner should be present, or 2) report trespassers to law enforcement. Remember, our park is owned by you and is private property. You can treat it as you would treat your own backyard!
