Facility Improvements
Over the past three years, we've made significant investments to enhance our facilities.
Major Infrastructure Updates
• New roof installation
• Replacement pump and heaters for the main pool
• Updated audio system
• New basketball hoops
• Resurfaced tennis/pickleball courts
Community-Led Improvements
In addition to our major facility investments, we've been fortunate to have volunteer-led improvements that have enhanced our community spaces. Bill Sandino has made excellent use of the cedar from trees that were felled during our grant project, creating beautiful new poolside benches, picnic tables, and benches at the tennis court to update our infrastructure.
We also want to recognize John Kemmerrer, who kindly built much-needed new scoreboards for the bocce court, which were put to great use at our recent social event.
Staffing Update
We're pleased to share that on the staffing front, we are in good shape. We've had some good fortune, thanks to plenty of help in the snack bar, front gate, and office operations.
However, we do have days without lifeguards and will actively look for the next generation in this key area. The good news is that all our managers have CPR certifications, thanks to either their prior roles or the training class held just for Big Trees Village staff, led by Mary Ann Franscioni.
Thank You!
We're grateful for your continued support of the Big Trees Village Association. Your membership and participation make our community the special place it is.
With appreciation,
Kim, Jasmine, Ann, Melissa, Daniel, David, Matt, Graham, Hunter, Robert & Travis
