*IMPORTANT WARNING: The 3 ponds in our neighborhood are NOT for swimming. Please do not enter the water in these ponds. Fishing (catch & release) is only permitted in the pond behind the clubhouse.

THE POOL IS OPEN for the 2022 Season
POOL NEWS: There will be NO pool attendant this summer, so we need everyone to pitch in and keep the area clean, follow the rules and take part in closing umbrellas when they leave. The pool is monitored by video 24hrs/7 days per week for the safety & comfort of pool goers. New Pool Rules are posted on the Announcement page. Please email the Board with questions.
Please clean up after yourself when you are at the pool. If you are at the pool after 7:00pm please close any umbrellas that are open, take all pool toys out of the pool & clean up trash and food on the ground. Thank you!
Children under 16 are NOT allowed to be at the pool by themselves. ALL children 16 and under are required to have an adult present with them. Pool privileges may be revoked if this rule is broken!
SWIM TEAM: Congratulations to the 2022 Wellington Park Wahoos swim teach for winning their entire division for the season.

Thank you to all the hard-working swimmers and their wonderfully supportive families. They all worked together to have a fun & educational swim season!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Annual HOA Board meeting. The attending homeowners approved last year’s meeting minutes, voted in Bailey Barretto, Lynn Yanyo & Chris Franchi for another term on the Board and heard the things the Board accomplished in 2021 and plan for 2022. You can find the Board’s 2021 message on the Reference page with the meeting minutes. There was also a good turnout for the Wahoos swim team meeting and the blood drive. It’s wonderful to see everyone getting involved in the community!
