Overview

Mission

Our primary exempt purpose is to operate and maintain a neighborhood recreational facility that promotes community wellness, physical activity, and social engagement for local residents. The organization provides access to recreational amenities in a safe and inclusive environment. Fees collected are used solely to cover operating and maintenance costs. The organization is not operated for profit, and all revenues are reinvested to support and improve facilities and services for the community.

The organization operated and maintained a neighborhood recreational facility, providing access to amenities such as the pool, volleyball court, basketball court, playground, and picnic area. The facility was open to approximately 231 member households (serving an estimated 924 individuals) throughout the year. Expenses supported utilities, repairs, landscaping, cleaning, and general upkeep to ensure a safe and accessible environment for community use.
