GARAGE SALE: Our next village-wide garage sale is planned for Saturday, April 26, 2008 and all future Spring garage sales will be held on the last Saturday in April. Outside of the two village wide garage sales, all others are a violation of Deed Restrictions. The yard sale is restricted to your own yard or neighbors can get together and have one large sale. There is no cost except if you advertise. Once again we will post signs at the village entrances and advertise on our website and Kingwood.com.

POOL and PARK: The pool will be open for weekends only May 24-26th (Memorial Day Weekend) and May 31st & June 1st. Our pool will officially open for Summer on June 4 and will remain open until the end of September. Summer hours of operation will be Tuesday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Our pool was changed over to a salt water system in late July 2006. This is easy on the skin, hair, eyes and clothes. This will also keep the pool cleaner and at a lower cost. Don’t forget we have a full-press basketball court also in our park that is open 7 days a week during daylight.

NOTE: THE POOL WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAYS FOR MAINTENANCE & CLEANING.
