A New Space for Fun, Fitness, and Friendship
Transforming Trails of Glenwood with a community-owned pickleball court
HISTORY of THE LAND
This land needs to be under HOA ownership.
The basketball court, located next to the pool by Los Rios, may seem like HOA property, but it actually isn't. When Trails of Glenwood was first developed, the developer made an agreement with the City: the land would remain City-owned, but the developer could build a basketball court, and the HOA would handle its maintenance.
For the past 15 years, the HOA has been covering landscaping and upkeep to keep the court in good condition. Now, we have a unique opportunity to change that arrangement. While the original plan may have made sense at the time, we can now take ownership of the land and decide its future-creating a space that truly serves our community.
Uniting Our Community: A New Hub for Fun and Fitness
Multipurpose Court
The Trails of Glenwood is striving to be the very best community in all of Plano! Framed by the beauty of East Plano’s trees, we imagine a new multipurpose court where neighbors can come together playing pickleball working out in the fresh air, and enjoying a safe, beautifully designed space surrounded by elegant wrought-iron fencing.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our community!
VOTE VOTE VOTE.
According to our HOA bylaws, 60% of homeowners must vote to approve the acquisition of this land. Here’s why this is so important: the City of Plano is offering it to us for just $20,000—a fraction of its real value! This is a rare opportunity to turn an underutilized space into a vibrant hub for fun, fitness, and community connection. We can’t afford to let it pass us by. Every vote matters, so please make your voice count—VOTE NOW! And rest assured, the Trails of Glenwood HOA is financially strong, so this purchase will not result in any additional assessments.
You probably have a few questions—let’s address them.
