Play Structure Selection for Pathfinder Park
|
|
|
|
The Common Area Committee and Board of Directors invite residents to help select the best new play structure option for Pathfinder Park. Our existing structure is approaching its end of useful life and is scheduled for replacement later this year. Separately, an expanded swing set will be added regardless of which play structure is selected, containing two regular swings, one baby swing and one ADA swing.

Tennis Court Usage Policy
|
|
|
|
Our amenity rules state that the tennis courts shall only be used for playing tennis or other authorized uses as determined by the District.
No skateboards, in-line skates or other types of skates, bikes or other unauthorized uses are allowed. The multi-sport & in-line hockey court is being rebuilt and nearby bike and skate features are coming soon.
Signage to alert users will be placed at the tennis courts: "No biking, no skating, no dogs. Tennis use only". We are evaluating installing door locks to require a code for entry, to match the planned system at the future dog park and vault-style restrooms at Pathfinder Park.

Colorado to Pay to Remove Wasteful Lawns?
By Rick Forsman
|
|
|
Due to a continuing megadrought devastating the entire southwestern United States, the Colorado Legislature is taking aim at reducing wasteful expanses of Kentucky bluegrass. The severity of the drought can be seen in this map.
House Bill 1151 would pay homeowners and businesses to replace ornamental lawns with plants that better fit the Colorado climate and worsening water scarcity. Lawns consume about 50% of water used in the state’s cities. A single foot of grass requires up to 73 gallons of water per year compared to 18 gallons for native plants. Nineteen cities in Colorado now provide some form of funding to replace lawns, including Aurora and Castle Rock. The state program would augment funding already available. (Source: Denver Post, March 10, 2022)
The vast expanses of bluegrass in the Inspiration Metro District account for the high cost of our water each year, which impacts resident assessments. Turf areas also require significant expenses for fertilization, weed control, mowing, etc. The cost of water will only go up as the state’s cities expand and water rights become more contentious. Both District assessments and resident water bills can be expected to increase over time without changes to our outdated desire for extensive greenery in the high desert.
This is the second in an ongoing series of news items about water conservation in the District.
