2019 Fall Festival Photos Print
2019 Fall Festival We all really enjoyed the 2019 Fall Festival on Saturday, October 5th. The temperature was a cool, crisp 95 degrees and there were falling leaves and lots of smiles everywhere.

Here are some photos of the Prestonwood residents, neighborhood Constables and friends appreciating the activities, food and music!

When you see them, please thank our talented resident photographers Lupita and Noe Pena.

 
PRESTONWOOD'S POOL SEASON IS NOW CLOSED! Print
Scheduling pool hours for weekends in September is always a tentative schedule based on whether or not there is enough resident usage of the pools to warrant the exorbitant costs involved to keep them open. The Board has reviewed the usage over the past few weeks and made a fiscal decision to close the pools for the remainder of the season as of today in an effort to cut excess waste of funds.
 
But please mark your calendars that pool 1 will be open one last time (weather permitting) on October 5 from 11-7 pm for the Fall Festival!
