Did you know that you can host a party at the pool? Details on booking and pricing are on our website. First-come, first-served! If you have other ideas for celebrating summer at the pool, reach out to us at board@granadahillshoa.org. The Granada Hills Pool is available only to pool members. This membership is separate from your HOA membership. More information can be found at https://www.granadahillshoa.org/pool

One of the primary goals of the Granada Hills HOA is to enhance the neighborhood through community involvement. We host the big July 4th parade and celebration each year, coordinate a craft fair in December, and have kid focused events for Easter, Halloween and Christmas.

So, how about something new … something for those older residents who have been the backbone of Granada Hills through the years. Mary Woodruff, our only retired HOA board member, has been talking about hosting a get together at the park once a month for a brown bag lunch. It would give our residents who are home during the day a chance to meet neighbors and find others that share common hobbies or interests. Maybe we have folks who are interested in getting together to discuss gardening or a book club, game nights, music, cooking, volunteer organizations … or maybe there are ways that we can help and support each other.

If you have ideas or want to get involved in planning an event, please feel free to reach out to Mary at mwoodruff.atx@gmail.com.

Let’s give it a try and have some fun! If you’re interested, all you have to do is show up for the first brown bag lunch at the park on Friday, April 25th and we will figure out what’s next from there. You can RSVP below or just show up.

If you have neighbors who don’t receive the monthly newsletter, please invite them to join us. You can also forward the newsletter to them so that they can subscribe.

SPRING NEIGHBORHOOD SALE: Saturday, April 12th. 8am - 1pm

With spring well established, it's time to clean out alllll the stuff you don't need. It is certainly someone else's treasure. Whether you have a lot, or a little. Whether you display in your garage, yard or driveway. Whether you set up alone or with multiple households together.... We hope you'll participate in the neighborhood wide garage sale. It's a fun way to spend the day outside getting rid of things, meeting neighbors and earning a few extra bucks.

Please email Emily Lawson ( emilyclairelawson@gmail.com) with your address if you'd like to be added to the adverts for the neighborhood sale.

The HOA participates in the Firewise program and is looking for residents who would like to be more involved in helping with home inspections to help keep our fire risk low. Please reach out to the board if you can help! board@granadahillshoa.org.

The Granada Hills HOA Board meets once a month, usually on the third Monday, to discuss updates and needs of the neighborhood, respond to requests from committees, plan events, and vote on any expenditures or other changes. If you would like to attend a meeting, reach out to board@granadahills.org.

Come on in, the water's fine! Help us kick off the start of the 2025 pool season in Granada Hills! We will have a FREE OPEN SWIM in the afternoon for all Granada Hills residents (kids under 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian). There will be food, drinks, and good company. Also bring your checkbook - The HOA will be accepting pool membership payments for the 2024 season (May through October - longer than most other neighborhoods). You can read more about pool membership and join HERE.

Join us at the pool this summer for some outdoor movies! We will put up a projector at the pool and show a sure favorite that all will enjoy. Bring some drinks, snacks, and some floaties, and get ready for a fun community night with friends! Keep an eye out - specific movie selections will be shared in our next newsletter!
