As each of the homeowners know, the traffic on 2nd street continues to grow. Also with this, noise created by traffic also increases daily. A major effort has been implemented toward improving the cedars that line 2nd street. Over the years these trees have been neglected and hardwood trees have been allowed to invade this barrier. We are happy to report this is no longer the case. Hardwoods have mostly been eliminated and will continue to be a focus. The HOA allotted funds to purchase 20 new trees....we actually paid for 10 and received 10 free....these were planted on 3/30/25 with the help of David Hanson, Darren Metzger, Tom Cole, Mike Ellis, and Monty McKinzy. We are all thankful for the help of these neighbors and their time that was given. In a year or two, the sound barrier along the front will become much improved.

It seems like the sky has opened up! The HOA finished removing dead trees along the first pond and talso on pond 6. It was much needed. We also began the Second Street Landscape Project by removing the trees in the center island. The landscape plans will soon be added to the Clayton Pond HOA website We had approximately 25 volunteer people there to tackle the HOA projects. Trash cleanup of the Second Street cedar trees, trash cleanup of the ponds, raking the west side of the Second street entrance, cleaning up flower beds on Second street and Sooner road. Wow- what a day!! But it looks so much better. 😀 and finished the day with a cookout at Paul Qualls house for all that worked on cleanup. Our next project will be getting the pool ready for Memorial Day opening.
 We wanted to announce a new addition to our community — a Little Free Library! If you are not familiar with Little Free Library (LFL), they are a nonprofit organization dedicated to building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access through a global network of
volunteer-led little free libraries. The libraries are designed for taking a book and/or giving a book. Our LFL was donated by one of our resident families and recently installed at the entrance to our pool. It will be stewarded by that family to ensure it stays clean, appropriate for all ages, and accessible. It is our hope that you enjoy this wonderful addition to our community for many years! Here are a few guidelines for our LFL: 1. This library is for children and adults. Please do not place inappropriate materials into this library as it may be seen by innocent eyes. 2. Please do not leave anything in the library other than reading materials. Magazines, graphic novels, and the like are welcome, but other items that are not for the purpose of reading will be removed. 3. Please do not affix to the LFL (or leave inside) any kind of advertisement, flyer, or business brochure. Please do not place inside or affix to the library any items for sale. Contact the HOA for their method of approval regarding any information you would like to distribute to the Clayton Pond community. 4. Please do not write on the library, put any stickers on the library, or otherwise modify the library. We want to keep the library clean. 5. Please do not place boxes of books at or near the location of the library. Only books which can fit inside may be donated to the LFL. Again, we want to keep this area clean and able to be enjoyed by all. We hope you enjoy visiting the Clayton Pond Little Free Library! If you would like more information about LFL, please check out their website at littlefreelibrary.org Clayton Pond HOA Board Construction on the pool remodel should start in a couple weeks, weather permitting. It's going to be a very nice place to swim and hang out once it's finished. Completion is expected to be finished some time in May. See the 3D rendering here:Vip3D - 3D Swimming Pool Design Software POOL RENOVATIONRestroom Renovation;Completed PhotosPlease respect the work done by many hours of volunteer work and keep the restrooms clean and well taken care of. The volunteer work was done to keep keep cost down and provide nice clean facilities for our neighbors. WORK IN PROGRESSAs many of you may know, Gary Peabody contributed many hours to the care of Clayton Pond. Sadly, he passed away after a fairly brief illness. In honor of him, some residents of the community chipped in to purchase a bench in his honor. The cement pad was prepped and concrete poured over the last week. What would we do without our wonderful neighbors lending a hand and donating money to make this project happen. Our neighborhood is undergoing some temporary transformations (some painful) in the name of progress. When finished, it will be a good thing for those living here to have the option of fiber internet. |
