The next project on our list is a face-lift for the Splash Pad area. Resurfacing will begin on Thursday, May 16th and the area will be closed. The amenity should be open for play within 2-3 days, weather permitting. We appreciate your patience with this maintenance and will notify residents when the Splash Pad re-opens.

It’s that time of year again: baby bird season. You may see baby birds wandering around outside of their nests. When a bird leaves the nest it needs practice learning how to fly, just like toddlers need practice learning how to walk. This process is called fledging. At this point the baby doesn’t have proper feathering to allow flight and may be on the ground a few days until its wing and tail feathers grow a little more. The parents stay nearby and tend to the baby. The best thing you can do for the bird is to leave it alone. If it’s in harm’s way because of dogs and cats, you can move it but keep it as close to the nest as possible. For more information on wildlife or to volunteer, call TWRC WILDLIFE CENTER at 713-468-8972 or go to www.twrcwildlifecenter.org.

It’s time for our Oak Park Trails Fall Community Garage Sale! The date is Saturday, April 6, 2012, rain or shine. Our garage sale weekends have been very successful in the past and it is a great time to clean out and organize with some spring cleaning. The OPT HOA will be providing banner signage at the major entrances to the community to help with promoting the sale.
Oak Park Trails holds community garage sales 2-3 times during the year. Holding your garage sale on this weekend will help make our neighborhood safer and cleaner and in addition will increase attendance and sales at your event. Many neighborhoods around us only conduct garage sales twice a year and do not allow for them at any other times.
Please remember when placing signs throughout the neighborhood it is illegal to place signs in public right of ways, esplanades and on traffic signs.The sheriff’s department can and will enforce the law and will issue citations and fines up to $1000 per sign. Please be considerate and remove any signage used for garage sales. It is against deed restrictions to post this type of signage and not remove it as soon as the event is over.
Please also be mindful of the traffic in front of your home that your garage sale will create and ask shoppers to park so that no driveways or road ways are blocked.
Contact us at board@oakparktrails.org if you have any questions.
See the article on page 4 of this newsletter for tips on having a successful garage sale.
Happy selling!
