Thank you to everyone who sent information on flights that appeared or sounded like they were extremely low, loud, or both. I have sent all the information to the airport director. After researching, it is determined that all of the planes were flying within the approved regulatory altitude. He did mention that some of the planes flying out of the Chandler Airport (CHD) are historical, which makes them fly slower and louder than a more modern plane. CHD is one of the nation's 50 busiest general aviation airports. The airport hosts a variety of general aviation activities including flight training, charter flights, military exercises, public safety operations, aircraft repair and maintenance, and aircraft sales. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has developed a “Fly Friendly” program to be a good neighbor to surrounding communities.

On Wednesday. March 27th, from 6:00am - 6:30am, a crane will be blocking eastbound traffic in front of Poolside. If you are in the area for Fitness or walking, use caution. There will be someone directing traffic during that time. We don’t anticipate any additional interruptions.

If you have contractors at your home working on landscaping or your home, have them clean or sweep the debris out of the road.  We have had a few falls and near misses.

Work began on Wednesday, March 20th, to replace eight sections of concrete around Diamond Lake and will continue to the walking path, with 10 sections being replaced. Please use caution when in these areas and avoid walking on the fresh cement.

Dogs are not allowed on the premises. Only service animals for the visually impaired and epilepsy-alert dogs are permitted. Emotional support dogs are NOT recognized by the ADA as service animals, and therefore are not allowed in Grill on the Green or Stone & Barrel.

While work is being done, there is no power to the pump.  This means the fountain and sprinklers are inoperable during this time.  Thank you for your patience.
