Good news is that the Splashpad at Basecamp will be opening officially on Wednesday 5/25 with the hours running from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. With this, the district will be extending the hours of the restrooms to close at 9:30 pm. There is always a possibility that we will need to maintenance the Splashpad and for it to be down from time to time, but we are going to attempt to limit that as much as possible.

You may see some work going on over the week of May 7th in Sweetwater Park. With the increase in traffic along the park, we are adding new crosswalks and signs to help control the speed of traffic going down Sweetwater near the park. The work will be completed this week, so please be patient with our contractors while they are working to keep the community safe.

The Splashpad at Basecamp has yet to open for the season as it has been undergoing repairs to ensure that we can keep everyone using it safe and healthy. The team is working on getting the tanks cleaned, a new controller in, and updating the filtration system to keep the water clean and fresh. We are looking to have the Splashpad opened within the next couple of weeks, please keep an eye out here to see the official opening date.

As we get closer to having the outdoor warning system installed within the Trinity Falls area, we are making a change to our current services with Code Red and moving to a new system for alerts and notifications. This new system will not be limited to only storm notifications, but also allow the district to keep you informed of events, maintenance, and other district related activities. This move will disable any storm notifications and transition you to know what is going on within the District.

McKinney Municipal Utility District No. 1 (“MUD 1”) has received numerous inquiries and comments regarding basketball goals in our community. The Trinity Falls DCC&Rs provide that basketball goals may be outside only during active use and must be stored out of sight when not in use. Due in part to the COVID pandemic and the delay in building a community basketball court, in August 2021, the MUD 1 Board adopted a policy that (1) permits the use of basketball goals on streets and sidewalks in MUD 1 and (2) prohibits the Trinity Falls HOA from enforcing the DCC&R basketball goal restrictions on streets and sidewalks owned by MUD 1. Plans for the construction of a community basketball court have now resumed. Once a community court is constructed, MUD 1 may resume dialog with the HOA on a transition plan that would permit HOA enforcement of the DCC&Rs relating to the use of basketball goals on MUD 1 owned streets and sidewalks.
