Social Committee Participants Needed

Our community has a newly created Social Committee, and its chairperson Kimmie Haas is eager to start planning events for all of us to enjoy.

Volunteers are needed to help plan activities like holiday house decorating contests, seasonal festivals, playdates for neighborhood kids, meet ups for dog owners, walking/jogging groups and much more!

pumpkinHalloween is coming up soon and we would love to start working on some fun events at Mabel Bridge, but we can’t do it without some help from you.

Residents Asked for Input on New Neighborhood Park

A new neighborhood park will be built on Village Lake Road at Lake Spar (near the Lakeside Village Publix shopping center). Commissioner Scott Boyd recently held a public meeting where he and members of the Orange County Parks Department asked residents for input on what amenities they would like to have at the park.

If you didn’t make the meeting, it’s not too late to give your feedback.

Take the online amenities survey to provide input on what amenities you want the park to have by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/LakesideParkAmenities. The Parks Department will use your responses to create the plans for the new park.

Amenities:

Common requests include walking/jogging trail, playground, and picnic pavilion. These are built in most new neighborhood parks nowadays. Would you like to see something different added to the list? You can write in responses too. Some examples might include a fishing dock, bocci ball court, bike racks, etc.

Would you like to see sidewalks connect Mabel Bridge to the new park? Let them know! Write that in for Question #4 or contact Commissioner Boyd’s Office.

About the Park:

  • There is approximately 9 acres of land for the park.
  • The park has lakefront, which is rare.
  • The park will be open dawn to dusk only.
  • There are no plans to add lighting. Nor will there be restrooms.
  • Limited street parking will be available. Neighborhood parks are intended to be reached via walking or biking.
  • There is $400,000 allotted in 2015 to build the park.
