CPCA Lakes & Parks Update
Here are the spring projects planned for our lakes and parks:
Morning Walks, Fall 2020
In the mornings I walk. First my dog, then I take my camera and go on a longer jaunt, about four miles. In the fall I photograph foliage; this has been a good year for catching color, and Halloween decorations.
Long Lake (#3): New Footbridge
The footbridge across the dam on our Long Lake (#3) had rotted out to the point that it was becoming unsafe, so your board put it out for bid and Roman Landscaping was awarded the job. Andrew and his crew have constructed a very solid footbridge which should last another ten years.
Fish Stocking for 2018
March is fish-stocking time for the lakes. We have historically used $1500 to $2500 annually for stocking. About eight years ago we tried tilapia and had good luck both from catching and reproduction; although they are vegetarians, they can be caught on worms. Their growth was unbelievable and everyone enjoyed fishing for them. We stopped stocking tilapia […]
CPCA Fall Festival 2017
The weather was chilly (55° with a north wind), but the promise of candy and a cook-out brought out a nice crowd for our annual Fall Festival for CPCA members. Thanks to Valencia Ray, our intrepid event organizer, and her crew for their hard work. I’ve added download buttons to the photos for those who […]
Parks & Lakes Report
A couple of weeks ago, Jerry Jones held a meeting at his home to discuss some of the lakes and parks infrastructure and what we can do to make it more usable by our members. Among the topics: Old Lake (#1) needs clearing on the north and east end. There are four bridges, perhaps more, […]
July 4th Celebration in Country Place
A nice crowd of CPCA members gathered at the park on July 4th to celebrate and visit. Thanks to Valencia for coming up with the idea and seeing it through.
Fall Festival and Hayride 2016
Country Place is a very unique neighborhood for several reasons…estate-sized lots, four stocked lakes and very low dues among them. But another feature of our neighborhood are the Spring Picnic & Egg Hunt as well as the Fall Festival & Hayride. Both these events serve as a wonderful way to get to better know our […]

Lakeshore Repairs Now Complete
L&L has completed their repairs this week and we are pleased with the work done in front of the Magee’s and Kelsay’s, as well as between the Little’s and Lowell’s. The Miller’s had some work done in front of their property, as well. This completes the major repairs to Lakeshore. Thank you for your patience.
Lakeshore Repairs Coming Soon
For those of you who called yesterday and others who are curious, Petty Landscaping is working on the Idell’s drainage to repair the rock wall and re-channel the drainage swale along Lakeshore. Work should be completed today. In the next few weeks (depending on continued dry weather) L&L Asphalt should be able to complete the […]
Perfect Weather for the Spring Picnic
After having to cancel our 2015 Fall Festival due to rain, it was a big relief to see the day dawn bright and clear for our egg hunt and spring picnic. Thanks to Sarah Devendorf for ramrodding a great day for children and parents alike.
