    New Signs

    We have added new signs on Acoma and 159th and 157th.

    The above sign, which just says Greenway Parc 2, Surprise AZ, was done in a style that I created for the message board, a sort of unofficial logo for GWP2. It’s meant to showcase the bounds of the community.

    The other, on 157th entrance from Acoma, sits just behind the monument on the west side. This is meant to inform guests and residents of this website, where all information and updates are posted to.

    Really though, the main reason we added these signs is because we had already placed posts on those corners, which we use for the community yard sale banners. Previously, those banners were tied to trees or covered up the monument and we didn’t feel that was right. So we added the posts, but then the posts were just left there when no banners were hanging, which also wasn’t right. So adding permanent signs with useful information seemed like a win/win situation.

    The message board will be returning soon, however in a beefier cabinet. But with the new sign, we’re hoping more residents will look to this site more for updates and events.

  • Garage Sale Signs – A Reminder

    Garage Sale Signs – A Reminder

    While we do not mind if you place flyers or boxes showcasing your garage sale, we do ask that when the garage sale is over, to please pick up/remove any signage that you have placed.

    Let’s all do our part to help keep the community looking great!

  • Yard Sale and Arrow Signs

    Yard Sale and Arrow Signs

    We held a successful community yard sale event recently, and while you may post your own yard sales and directional arrow signs, we ask that you please remove them once the sale is over. We have seen many signs still up after the event and even still after more than a week. Please ensure you clean up after yourselves and remove any signs, tape, boxes or anything else you have placed.

    We Have A Winner!

    We would like to Congratulate Mike on Gelding Dr

    Winner of our “Best Christmas Decorations” Contest!

    Mike and his wife (sorry, didn’t catch her name), did an amazing job decorating, and not only for their decorations but also for having a cohesive theme. Let’s take a closer look.. the bushes in the front match colors, the animals and other characters are all in white, besides Santa, the Marry Christmas signs is a great addition and the whole yard is covered in (fake) snow.. in fact, even the side yard and little patch of land by the garage was covered as well.

    The fence had decorations, there’s a smaller Santa climbing a ladder on the side of the house, more decor in the windows, plus the lights on the edges of the house, including the second story.. which as everyone should know, you need a very tall ladder and still yet, a sturdy foot as you’d have to stand on part of the first story roof to get those light where they. And let’s not forget about the tree in the middle of the yard as well. I believe even the palm tree on the left got lights added after this picture was taken.

    Anyone can throw decorations on their lawn and house, sometimes maybe too much even, but that doesn’t always make for a good theme. Knowing when to hold back, when to match light colors, and adding a little extra where it’s needed, takes someone maybe with a eye for design, or at least someone who has done this many times before.. and that’s why this is the winning house. And along with the gift card, they also take a custom yard sign, created by me, your President, which they can use to show off their win in next years decorations!

  • Community Hauntings

    Community Hauntings

    We wanted to feature a couple of our residents that go way above and beyond when it comes to decorating for Halloween.

    Brian

    For the 4th year in a roll, he has ran the, “Graveyard of Gelding,” in his front yard. See the Grave Keeper and walk the path of the land of the dead. There are motion activated animatronics that move and speak, flashing lights and plenty of skulls sure to give you some creepy chills.

    I took more photos, but I didn’t want to ruin the surprises, so be sure to come check this out in person.

    You can stop by nightly starting from 7:30 – 8:30pm, but know that the full effect wont be until Halloween night, when there will be more to see as well as free food, candy and drinks!

    Address:
    15632 W Gelding Dr (see map below)

    Check out Brian’s event listing on Nextdoor app:

    Kyle

    Every year he decorates his yard and side yard with so many lighted figures and signs and lights that there is literally no space left to add anything else.. and he not only does this on Halloween, but also for Christmas.

    He even has a zombie hunting themed truck in his driveway.

    His decor is up now so check it out, but please respect the decor and stay out the yard… not that there’s room for you to stand in it!

  • Dog Waste Bag Stations

    Dog Waste Bag Stations

    The community has had a few of those “pick up after your dog” signs now for a while, so it only made sense to get a couple of the stations to hold bags for you to use to do just that.

    These are just filled with standard grocery bags and any and all residents are asked to please keep these stations full. We all have extra bags laying around or from each time we go shopping, so we ask that you help keep these stations full by shoving those extra bags in them. This is the way most dog parks operate as well. There are 3 trashcans as well (2 in larger park, 1 in the smaller one), so please depose of those bags properly.

    There are 2 of these stations, one in each park. The larger park (pictured) has its station on the north side on Evans. The smaller park has its station on the corner of 157th and Crocus, just between both parks.

    Please also try to remember to keep your dogs on a leash if they’re out in the parks when others are around since the park is not gated.

  • Something Newsworthy is Coming…

    Something Newsworthy is Coming…

    In the past, you may have seen flyers posted on the mailboxes, even the Board has been guilty of this, but those mailboxes are actually property of the federal government and posting on them is illegal. We have also noticed flyers being posted on light posts too (which some of forgotten to remove). This is one a big reasons why we wanted to create this website, for news and updates, such as this post and to share it with the community. But we forgot one part, you. You have no way of posting to the website. You can contact the Board with concerns or even if you have something you wanted to share with the community and we could post it for you, if it were appropriate for the community, as we did for the yoga in the park offer.

    The Message Board

    But not everyone visits this website, in fact some might not even know it’s here. Because of that, we still wanted a physical way of sharing news with you. And a way for you to share flyers, lost pets, sales, business cards, etc. So we will shortly have a new message board located at the edge of the large park on 157th. This would be visible to cars that drive by and any one walking or visiting the park. This message board will have 2 sections with closable doors. One will be for community news and updates only and will be lockable and for use by Board members. The other side will still have a glass door but the lock will have a permanent, affixed key which anyone could open pin their post(s). The door is there just to make it weather proof. This will be on the honor system. You will need to be respectful of other posted flyers and out dated or unapproved post will be removed. And getting back to this website, we’d also like for you to have the ability to list your business info. Stay tuned for more info on that coming shortly.

    The Shed

    On top of that, we will have a small shed behind the message board. This is just for Board member use, to store small supplies, but we will also be attaching some sort of bin or box to the side of the shed that will be used for a lost and found. Just a simple box to keep things in, if anyone so happens to see things left at the parks. A first place for everyone to look for their lost belongings.

  • How to Report Monsoon Season Damages

    How to Report Monsoon Season Damages

    While I’m sure we all know how to stay safe and to try stay indoors during the monsoon storms, what may not be clear is how to report certain things, like a downed tree, community damages or other leaking water.

    There are contact listings available on this website which we try to keep it updated and add to it all the time. If you feel there are important listings that should be included, please contact the Board and let us know.

    I will include some of the more important contacts below (click the titles for more info):

    • Downed Trees
      Trees that have broken branches hanging down or broken off or even whole trees that may have come down due to a storm or high winds should immediately be reported to our community manager and/or the HOA Board. If a tree is blocking part of a street, then in this case, you can notify the city of Surprise and they should come remove the tree or at least move it off the road.
    • Water Outage or Leak
      If there is a leak within the community, this may just be a irrigation issue and should be reported to the community manager right away. However, if there is a flooded area or you house is without water, Epcor should be contacted. If you are in the need of sand bags, help is available through city of Surprise.
    • Power Outage
      If you are experiencing a power outage, please contact APS immediately.
    • Cox Outage
      Please call Cox Communications directly to report any cable tv, internet or phone outages or issues.
    • Centurylink Outage
      Please call CenturyLink directly to report phone, tv, or internet outages or issues in the area.
    • Street Light Outage and More
      Street lights that are out can be reported online through the city of Surprise’s website. They also now have a mobile app available. Besides street lights, a number of things can be reported through this website including, graffiti, missing signs, flooded roadways, potholes or you can even request certain records.
    • Bulk Trash Pickup
      If you need to schedule a bulk trash pickup, please contact the city of Surprise’s Solid Waste Department. Please do not place these pickups on the street until the night before of the pickup. If you need to place it before then, please contact the community manager or HOA Board.

    Please note that if you contact the community manager in these cases, they will notify the Board as well.
