  • Let’s Keep Our Community Clean and Safe: A Friendly Reminder!

    Let’s Keep Our Community Clean and Safe: A Friendly Reminder!

    Hey neighbors! We all love the place we call home, right? Our community offers so much — from green parks to friendly faces. But there are a few things we need to remember to keep it that way. From picking up after our pets to respecting shared spaces, let’s all do our part to make sure this is a place we’re proud to live in!

    1. Keep It Clean: Don’t Leave Trash Behind!
      We’ve all seen it: a stray soda can here, a snack wrapper there. It’s easy to forget, but littering affects us all. So next time you’re out for a walk or hanging out in the park, make sure that empty coffee cup or snack wrapper makes it into the trash. It’s an easy way to help keep our community looking great!c

    2. Respect the Parks – They’re for Everyone!
      The parks are a shared space, which means we all need to be mindful of others. Whether you’re enjoying a picnic, playing a game of catch, or just soaking in the sunshine, it’s important to respect the environment and the people around you. Also, please do not ride any motorized vehicles or equipment (such as ATVs, dirt bikes, or scooters) within the parks, as they can cause significant damage to the grounds. Let’s all be considerate so everyone can enjoy these common spaces!

    3. Picking Up After Your Dog (and Yourself)
      We love pets around here, but let’s be honest — nobody wants to step in something unpleasant. Always scoop the poop and make sure your dog’s waste is disposed of properly. And keep your dog on a leash while in the park! This helps keep everyone safe and ensures that our furry friends are under control. To make it even easier, we’ve got bag dispensers posted throughout the community. If you’re in need, grab a bag — and if you notice that the dispensers are running low, feel free to pitch in! Just donate any extra grocery bags by stuffing them into the bag holder so others can use them too. It’s a simple act that keeps our spaces clean and usable for everyone.

    4. Stop Vandalism, Theft, and Damage – They Cost Us All
      A quick reminder: damaging property, stealing, and graffiti are not only disrespectful but costly. These activities affect the whole community, and the repairs often come out of our association fees. So when you see suspicious behavior or damage to our common areas, speak up! These activities will only drive up our fees, and nobody wants that. Let’s all do our part to keep the community safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone.

    5. Chickens/Poultry Are Not Permitted
      Just a quick reminder that chickens and poultry are not permitted in the community, according to both HOA bylaws and the City of Surprise law. While it might seem harmless to keep a few chickens, the feed and water can attract pigeons — and those pigeons can cause a lot of trouble! They are a health hazard that leads to roof damage, the spread of disease, and an overall mess. Their acidic feces can cause significant material damage to roofs, often leading to leaks and costly repairs. Please refrain from keeping poultry, and let’s keep our community safe and clean for everyone!

    Let’s all work together to keep our community safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone. By respecting these simple rules, staying engaged through our website, and providing feedback, we’re not just following guidelines — we’re creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Thanks for being awesome neighbors!

  • Annual Easter Egg Hunt & More

    Annual Easter Egg Hunt & More

    This year, Easter comes early.. so we’ll be celebrating on Saturday, March 30th, starting 10:00AM. The whole community is invited come down and join in the festivities, but please know that only children 10 years and younger may take place in the egg hunt. We will have other activities and candy for everyone else.

    Details

    There will be a bounce house and other activities including ring toss and knock down the cans and pillow case/potato sack race, face painting, and Easter eggs will be hidden around the park for the little ones to find. Some eggs will contain candy, others may contain small toys or erasers and in a few you just may find a limited edition Greenway Parc 2 token. These tokens can be used to get special gifts or candy, and can also be taken home as a collectable keepsake in itself. There will be more ways to find or earn tokens, such as playing/winning activities or games, pulling one from a grab bag, or maybe just for being a great person!

    Limited Edition Tokens

    As stated above, there will be different way to earn these tokens, which our very own community HOA President himself, Jason, will be making them on his fancy laser and will feature the community name and year (a previous year pictured below). They will be limited to 25 and will be numbered on the back and are about the size of a casino chip or dollar coin. There will also be one special gold token, which the lucky finder of said token will receive an extra prize (to be announced at the event).

  • Third Solar Light in Park

    Third Solar Light in Park

    Though there were some issues at first, there is now a new, 3rd, solar light in the park. Again, the objective was to provide light on and around the basketball court as well as the west side entry pathway.

    Solar lights do not get as bright as electrical powered lights, but considering the low cost and free power for the sun, I think it works well for our purposes.

    The Board does have more ideas for the parks, but I think everyone can agree the changes, additions we’ve made in the past few years have improved on safety as well as providing the new disc golf activity. We hope to add more activities by the year’s end.

  • Theft & Damages in the Community

    Theft & Damages in the Community

    Recently there have been theft of flowers from the entryway monuments on Acoma, tampering with the solar lights, and damages to community property including the message board and shed. This cost the community money and, in the end, you the residents will pay for it with increased fees and possibly fines, unless we do something about it.

    During my (Jason/President) on the Board, my main goal was to make this community look better with flowers, plants and more and to drive a sense of an actual community and friendship by having meet ups, BBQs and events like we just had for Halloween. I’ve lived here for about 12 years now, before I came on the Board, I hadn’t ever heard of any community BBQ nor any other event. My fellow Board members and I spend our own time doing this because we live here as well and want to see this community thrive. We want to get to know our neighbors and we want to take pride in the way the community looks. I don’t think any of us want to live in a place where is looks like its not being taken care of, where things are damaged and stolen.

    A few weeks back some 20 or so flowers were taken from one of the monuments. We replaced those flowers and last night, as I was checking out the solar lights, I noticed not some, but all, flowers, from both monuments were gone. Naturally, I contacted our landscaper to see if he was working on replacing them again. But that was not the case, all flowers were take.. stolen! Who does that? I drove around the other communities to see if it was just us, and it seems so as Legacy Park has similar monuments with all of their flowers in place and lights on. Our entryway monuments may not be on all sides nor on a main street, but I personally love coming home at night and seeing them lit up and full of plants and flowers.

    As for the message board, I, by myself, created the housing around it, again on my own time, without compensation. Why? Because we needed a central place for all residents to get and post information. Yes, this is also the reason I created this website, but not everyone wants to get info online and others just may not think about checking here. Having a message board gave a visual element to the community. You could just drive by and see if there was something posted or not. It gave residents a place to post your own flyers, events or lost pets. But instead of using this properly, the pins were taken, section titles were tossed and plexiglass was broken.

    Along with the message board, we had a small shed for the Board to store a few supplies in. Anthony had painted that shed to match the message board colors. It may not have been the greatest shed, but it was good enough for what we needed and to see things that we worked on, treated so badly, is not a good feeling. The supplies kept in it were expensive either, luckily, mostly just things for our events; like games and activities for the kids and some small gifts like pencils and erasers. These and a few other things have been transferred to different Board members as the members change due to elections. To us, it only made sense to have a singular place for us to store things rather than our own garages. But that shed, sadly, didn’t last 4 months before it was completely destroyed and was broken into within the first month.

    We Need Your Help

    If you know who did any of these things or have info you’d like to share, we will keep your name anonymous but share the info with the Police. We do have at least one witness who has provided some info and that is all that will be shared at the moment. But know that we are not taking this lightly and those involved will be prosecuted by law and fined for the amount of damages.

  • Vandalism & Theft Will Not Be Tolerated

    Vandalism & Theft Will Not Be Tolerated

    In recent weeks, the community has had sprinklers broken, value boxes had wires cut, the new shed was broken into, the new message board has had all of the push pins removed, kids placed their homework in it and section titles that were printed just for the message board were tossed out and its also been noticed that kids are hanging and climbing on the new disc golf nets. This not only costs us money to fix and/or replace, but also has led to the flowers to die in the eastern side monument on 157rh and Acoma.

    As the Board has started in the past, any kind of vandalism, theft or damages, will not be tolerated, no matter the size of the crime. Yes, any kind of vandalism, theft or damages, is a crime, even if it’s just within our community. If you are caught, not only will you be reported to the Police and charges will be filed, but you (and/or related resident on file) will be fined and will be responsible for reimbursement to the HOA, the full cost of replacement of damaged or stolen goods or property. We will be asking residents to keep and eye out and will put together a community watch committee.

    While some of these things are new the community and there is likely to be wondering what is inside or a want to climb something, please keep in mind that these things were placed here for the community; to help share information and to bring further enjoyment in the parks. The shed only hold supplies, nothing of real value, but it helps the Board have one location for things and to not have to change hands every time a new Board is elected. The Board has many other plans to bring more new activities to the parks, like disc golf, but if such items are abused, any new plans will likely be cancelled.

    Please help your community stay safe and look great!

    If you see anyone doing any of the things mentioned above, or anything else that should likely be reported, please contact our Community Manager, Maui, or the HOA Board directly. Your identity can be anonymous if you’d like. A reward may be offered for information leading to those who are responsible for the crime.

  • 2nd Attempt Election Results

    2nd Attempt Election Results

    It was a very close call, but we did meet quorum this time with the minimum of 28 submitted ballots.

    Jason Etzel and Anthony Wrinkler were voted for and will remain on the Board. Jason has been President for most of the past 2 years, while Anthony was appointed to the Board by the current Board members, Jason and Wayne to fill in the 3rd seat. This Board was taken down to a 3 member Board last year.

    The Board has agreed to remain in their current seats with one exception, Anthony will now occupy the role of Treasurer. Please keep in mind however, while we do have our individual roles, that this Board also works closely together, along with our Community Management team, we all try to help out each other and ensure we’re all in the know and double checking details, invoices, financials and more. This is how things should be handled and will remain being handled for as long as we are on the Board. This is why the community has been looking better and why we are getting things done.

    Together this Board has added new activities, tables and benches, and solar lights to the parks or adding the message board and this website to post community updates to, and more.. and of course, we’re not even close to being done.

  • Disc Golf Nets in the Park

    Disc Golf Nets in the Park

    To continue our efforts improving the parks and providing more activities, the Board has had 4 disc (Frisbee) golf nets installed. These are permanent and were placed in such areas to provide enough space between them and also so the there wont be tons of Frisbees being thrown into the streets.

    You will of course need to provide your own discs (Frisbees) and choose any spot you’d like to stand in when throwing. We didn’t want to limit your options.

    These are only here for fun or practicing but if you want to make a game out of it, that’s okay too. If you aren’t familiar with the rules of the game, please watch the below video.

  • Happy Easter Saturday!?

    Happy Easter Saturday!?

    On Saturday, April 16th, starting around 10:00AM, the community will celebrate Easter by having fun in the large park. We figured Saturday would be better day to get the community together, that way families can have Sunday for doing their own activities. There are a couple of residents, Brittany and Kayci, that have volunteered to be a committee and will plan and run the event. There will be plenty of candy, food, drinks and fun for all! Please see below for more details and what you can do, should you want to help out.

    Details

    There will be a bounce house and other activities (yet to be finalized) but may include bag toss game, face painting, pillow case/potato sack race, and Easter eggs will be hidden around the park for the little ones to find. Some eggs will contain candy, others may contain small toys or erasers and in a few you just may find a limited edition Greenway Parc 2 token. These tokens can be used to get special gifts or candy, and can also be taken home as a collectable keepsake in itself. There will be more ways to find or earn tokens, such as playing/winning activities or games, pulling one from a grab bag, or maybe just for being a great person!

    Limited Edition Tokens

    As stated above, there will be different way to earn these tokens, which our very own community HOA President himself, Jason, will be making them on his fancy laser and will feature the community name and year (pictured below).
