Being a Good Neighbor
We are blessed to have our covered structure and have shared with our neighborhood community for the benefit of all. Young and old have enjoyed playing basketball and many activities all through the year.
It has been brought to our attention that many neighbors are experiencing frustration at the noise level happening in the evenings under the structure due to those enjoying basketball. Signs are posted stating no yelling, and please respect hours of use. Please be aware and encourage all to be a good neighbor.
