Summer fun now turns to fall projects - that list you told yourself you would get done as soon as it cooled down - plant grass, paint, repairs around the house that help our neighborhood stay a nice place to live and play. Rockwood is a covenant community; as you are making structural improvements to your home, please review with a board member or HOA management whether those improvements should be approved by the Board.

Time to Play in the Park!
The park is open all year for Rockwood homeowners. Even as the temperature drops, bundle up the kids to take advantage of the playground equipment and basketball court. The volleyball courts are open upon request. Please contact Larry Duntz in advance if you would like to use. The nets will be put away for the winter later in the fall.
Please help keep the park and courts picked up and clean (waste bags provided at the gate to clean up after your pets). Report any issues to a member of the board. AND have fun!

The brick wall around Rockwood is now dressed in a new coat of paint! This is a major accomplishment for which the Board has carefully budgeted. A lighter color, a more dirt resistant paint, getting the wall cleaned and painted will help protect Rockwood’s investment for many years to come.
Powers Premier Painting and Flat Work painted the outer and upper surface of the wall with a high-quality acrylic paint, after removing vegetation, chipped paint, and power washing years of accumulated grime. Thank you to Powers for the great job and being able to schedule quickly to take advantage of the good weather.

Park Area Revitalization Started
Rockwood Park is a great place to get the family together, let the kids run loose, play ball, picnic, let the dog off the leash for a bit. We're working on a plan to make it better!
Several projects are complete or under consideration. The trees were given a much needed trim this summer. The picnic table was sanded and painted. The tire was moved to the east side and planted for fall and early spring color (and a place to sit for a bit).
Under current consideration is new mulch for the playground area, bench seating, another picnic table, as well as several new trees along the fence line.
Have ideas? Want to help? If you have ideas to help improve the park - how it looks, plantings, seating, group activities, perhaps an expanded pickleball court, now is a great time to pass those ideas along to a board member so that we can budget for next spring.

IMPORTANT: The dumpster in the Recreational Facility parking lot is available for your use if space is available in the dumpster. PLEASE, if you take items to the dumpster, and it is full, DO NOT place items on top of or on the ground around the dumpster. The dumpster is emptied three times per week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday; please just wait until it has been emptied. Please, ask your contractors to dispose of refuse properly, NOT in the RRF dumpster. Your neighbors, not trash service personnel, are the ones cleaning up the area.
