At the recommendationof the Sports Group, we asked the Board to considerinstalling a multi-sport court in the community.The Board of Directors will hire a landplanner to research available sites for this court;the land planner may also survey residents andmake recommendations about other potentialfuture amenities. Officers of the Spring CreekCommunity Association advised us as thisnewsletter was being written that the Associationengaged Roudabush Gale & Associates, itsland planner, to consider locations for the sports court. Space constraints, existing uses, and grading costswere taken into consideration. The land planners determined based on that information that there was onlyone feasible location: the graded area adjacent to the existing tennis courts. Construction planning will beginsoon. The location for the Sports Court is not necessarily permanent. The development of future phases ofSpring Creek could lead to relocation of the Sports Court in the future.The Advisory Group has continued to highlight resident requests for an operational back gate; at the Aprilmeeting, the Board announced that they have secured a bid for this project and work should begin soon.
