The Parks, a planned community established in 2000, is nestled on the southwest side of Bend, Oregon, in the shadow of the spectacular Cascade Mountains. The Parks is a cozy neighborhood with 209 homes surrounding several parks which provide inviting open spaces for community use. These parks include amenities such as a water fountain, two gazebos, a barbecue/picnic area, a basketball court, and, most popular, a swimming pool.
The Parks is governed by Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s), which are closely monitored by the Homeowner Association, comprised of a Board of five elected volunteers. Other committees are the Architectural Review Committee, the Facilities Committee, and the Communications Committee.

This parking issue is becoming ridiculous. I am shocked that our HOA is putting permanent stickers on neighbors/people’s cars. These are not abandon cars up on blocks. As a homeowner with a soon to be teenage driver, it is completely unreasonable to think that 3 cars will fit in a 2 car garage. My neighbors even got a sticker for parking in the alley on their own property/landscaping strip. Seems to be okay if you have it paved or a driveway large enough but not okay if you have a small driveway that doesn’t fit your car.
We do not want to become the neighborhood that no one wants to live in because it’s unlivable. Property values are already too low.
I think the dog crap in the common areas/front yards is a bigger issue than this. I assume that all you that complain about cars have no issues with letting your dogs crap in our yards and parks.
I received a postcard from Sherwin Williams. The Franklin Avenue store is celebrating an anniversary sale with 40% off both paint and stain for one day only. Saturday May 15, 2010 from 8-5 only.
Sherwin Williams semi transparent mushroom is the color needed for fences in The Parks.
