Town Square Fountain:
The fountain in our town square park is a valued feature of our community, and enjoyed by all of our residents.
We have noticed an increase in vandalism to the fountain. Soap has been poured into the water, kids have been found jumping in or on the tiered areas that have damaged lights, and the structure itself.
When these types of vandalism occur, the fountain has to be drained and the necessary repairs are performed. This is often costly to the Association.
We encourage you to speak to your kids, and help us stop the ongoing damage. The Board of Directors will be looking at options on enforcing these matters.
We appreciate your help! (This happened again this last weekend)
Entry Feature Landscape Renovation-Update
If you have driven through our entrance, you probably noticed the various flags and drying vegetation. This was intentional and for a great reason….a fresh new look!
The Board of Directors recently approved a proposal from O’Connell Landscape to enhance the entry area by opening visibility to the water feature and providing a diverse environment of colorful plants, ground covers, and accents.
Shortly they will begin trenching and wiring for lighting on the monument wall and trees, and then proceeding with installing decomposed granite pathways and planting.
Completion of this project is anticipated for the end of August. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time!

Trails Cleanup Day
The California Coastal Cleanup Day (CCD) has been set for 2016! The San Elijo Hills trails system is a designated California Coastal Clean up Day (CCD) area, and we need volunteers!
The trail system within San Elijo Hills is such a beloved feature of our community! Please join us on Saturday, September 17th from 9:00AM-12:00PM to help clean up the trails!
Volunteers will meet in the Town Square (by the fountain) of San Elijo Hills at 9:00AM. Walk-ups are welcome but pre-registration helps us with site logistics, so if you know for sure you want to help, please register online at www.CreektoBay.org .
Special Instructions: All volunteers should wear comfortable closed toed shoes and sun protection. You can help reduce waste by bringing your own reusable water bottle, and gardening or work gloves. Note: every participant in CCD needs to sign a waiver; anyone under the age of 18 needs a parent or guardian signature to participate!
Students are eligible for community service hours, and prizes will be given out for the most trash collected!
Together we can all make a difference!
