With the winter weather coming, here are some things to remember:
- Limb and leaf pick up is done for the season
- All bathrooms in parks are closed except for those at the HS diamonds (4/5)
- Please remember when it snows to keep your cars, equipment, etc. off the roads. Our snow crew must be able to get through safely in order to complete your neighborhood!
