DID YOU GET OUR TEXT LAST NIGHT?

Did you get the text message from the HOA last night around 7:15pm? We sent out a message to 2,362 Hackberry resident cell phones. If you did not, then you are not signed up for the Hackberry Creek text message alerts. Sometimes we need to push out time-sensitive or last-minute information to residents that can't wait until the Wednesday or Saturday emails so we use the text message system to alert residents.

Last night we got late word about the concrete pour and Gate 2 exit closure so we notified the community via text message.

If you do NOT get text message alerts from us (and did not get one last night) and you want to be in the loop for any last minute info or emergency alerts for the community you can subscribe easily!

ENTRANCES ARE LOOKING GOOD!

New color and striping at the entrances has given Hackberry a much needed makeover as you drive in! We are working hard to spruce up several areas in Hackberry Creek to make it as beautiful as possible. We are also working on quotes for upgrading the lighting at entrances. More to come!

SOUTHERN OAK PARK & VILLAGE GREENS

CLOSED JULY 5 THROUGH JULY 8

Both Village Greens and Southern Oak park will be closed from July 5th until July 8th for painting and staining various items. Please do not let your children or guests use these areas until work is complete. Southern Oak Park will have the gazebo re-stained and the playground shade canopy pressure-washed and cleaned. Village Greens will have all woodwork re-stained, concrete playing surfaces re-painted, sidewalks caulked and the stamped concrete walkways re-stained and sealed.

We will notify everyone via NewsFlash and Mid-Week Update when complete!

FULL STOP AT GATE 3 ENTRANCE REQUIRED

As a reminder, once passing through the exit arms at Gate 3 entrance all vehicles must come to a complete and full stop at the intersection.

GATE 2 REMAINS CLOSED UNTIL JULY 1ST

Concrete was poured today and needs to set and cure before traffic is allowed on it. The gate company must return in a few days to re-install gates and cut loop sensors in the concrete. We anticipate the gate to open by 5pm on July 1st in time for the holiday weekend.

LAST CALL FOR 4TH OF JULY VOLUNTEERS

We still need a race coordinator to organize the Fun Run! Also needed are gate ambassador families to help put out handfuls of small American Flags at the entrances on the 4th of July weekend. If you can help in any way, please reach out to her at:

NO PARKING ON SUMMITVIEW JULY 4TH 8AM - 10AM

This is a notification for the residents living on Summitview Drive that the Annual Hackberry Creek 4^th of July Celebration will be held on Monday July 4^th.

During this event there will be a parade starting at 9 AM at Gate 1 (Summitview & Royal Lane). The parade will go down Summitview and end at the intersection of Summitview Drive and Southern Oak Drive.

We are asking that all the residents on Summitview refrain from parking on the street between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM on this day to allow for the street to be clear during the parade. The Celebration at the Park will begin at 10:00 AM – immediately after the parade ends at Southern Oak Drive.

We hope to see you and your family at the celebration. We appreciate your patience and help in making this a great event for all Hackberry Creek Residents!

TREE REMOVAL BY CITY ON SHUMARD OAK

The City of Irving will be removing a large tree that has had its roots burrow into a sewer main at 2000 Shumard Oak across from Bald Cypress near the bridge. The tree will be removed with its roots and sidewalk will be removed. Once removal is complete they will fill area with sod and replace the sidewalk. Please drive slowly when you see workers present.
