Overlook Pool Project Update - April

Overlook Pool Project Update

We’re excited to share that pool demolition officially began today, marking the start of the long-awaited reconstruction project.

Demolition is expected to continue through next week. After that, you’ll begin to see dump trucks on-site hauling away debris. If you are visiting the clubhouse or tennis courts during this time, please be mindful of increased construction activity and use extra caution around the work area.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we take this major step forward—we’re excited to finally have this project underway!

We’re incredibly excited to see this project come to life. Over 18 months of planning, coordination, and effort have gone into getting us to this point. In just a few months, the Overlook community will begin to enjoy a brand new pool.
