My HOA Service Detail

The Forest Park homeowners association owns and maintains common areas and open space within and around the neighborhood, including wildlife corridors. Forest Park HOA dues are also used to provide a pool for the use and enjoyment of Forest Park Residents. Dues are also used to maintain the private streets within Forest Park, including snow removal on those streets.

For more information about a specific HOA service please select a Forest Park HOA service or contact our Management Company.

Invasive/noxious/obnoxious weeds are continuing to pop up in the community. There are many properties that have knapweed, leafy spurge and thistle showing up in the native areas, (as well as other weeds) this is occurring mostly in areas that border the street from the back of properties where it is visible, properties that back to open space and areas that were scraped/disturbed during the development of and building in Forest Park. Please help the Forest Park community keep these weeds under control and eliminate them quickly. If you are not sure what the weeds look like, (some of the weeds like spurge actually look like wildflowers), please take a visit the Invasive Species page http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/plants/main.shtml to see pictures of invasive weed species and for information on how to mitigate weeds.

The Retreat HOA has added a Noxious Weed Information page, which may be helpful to homeowners looking for more information.

ONLY Foot Traffic/Walking/hiking, is CURRENTLY allowed in the Wildlife Corridors and on HOA Property. Any activity that can cause wildlife to not use the wildlife corridors is not allowed. Any activity that may harm the vegetation is not allowed.

The Wildlife areas are protected by the Forest Park HOA, Covenants, Master Declarations, Rules/Regulations, and the original filings with Douglas County for the development of Forest Park. Colorado Division of Wildlife designated the locations of the Wildlife Corridors and the care of these areas to Forest Park for the specific use by WILDLIFE to migrate in and out of Forest Park.

HOA Common Area and Open Space Maintenance

Our landscaping contractor will continue to keep up with the weeds on HOA properties. Most HOA areas are less weed infested as time goes on and the management of the HOA areas continue. We will be allowing the native grasses on HOA areas that are mostly native grass grow much taller this year to help with the natural seeding from the grasses, we will not be mowing the native areas as often, this includes HOA areas visible from Forest Park, Forest Trails, Forest Ridge Circle, Castle Point Circle/Lane.

Native areas near Stop Signs will continue to be mowed shorter. Generally only the native areas that are seen from the major streets have been mowed in the past, except for any weed infested areas in the interior spaces of Forest Park. The weeds in all HOA areas will be "attacked" individually instead of mowing an entire area and on an "as needed" basis. This will include areas visible from Forest Park Drive, Forest Ridge Circle, Forest Trails Drive and Castle Point Circle, Castle Point Lane.

Homeowner Yard Maintenance

When doing any clean up in your yard/property, please dispose of the debris properly. Our open spaces/wildlife corridors/native areas are not to be used for dumping of homeowner debris.

The open spaces/wildlife corridors/native areas are to be kept as a native and natural forested area. Please do not move your yard debris/tree trimmings/cut grass/etc. to the HOA areas.

All of the native vegetation in Forest Park including on private homeowner property is not to be cut, removed, harmed or removed. Only DEAD branches/trees may be removed from native vegetation on homeowner property. Only dead branches along the HOA areas of Forest Park Drive will be removed if necessary, HOA areas will remain un pruned native/natural condition.
