 | Community. It's not just where you live, it's how you interact. Here at High Desert, we believe communication is the number one way to build our community: communication between neighbors, among homeowners and with management. This website is designed to keep every High Desert resident informed and up-to-date on the vital issues that affect us as homeowners. Here, you'll find quick access to our governing documents, the most recent security statistics, calendars of upcoming community meetings, copies of our latest newsletter, home improvement information, links to Village news and the e-mail addresses of your officers and directors. We hope this information will provide High Desert homeowners with what they need to know...and when they need to know it. For the latest news, click here. |

First Meeting For New "Adopt A Park" Program is Tuesday, August 26
 | If you are interested in helping to keep High Desert Park beautiful, please attend the first meeting of the new "Adopt A Park" program Tuesday, August 26th at 9 a.m. at High Desert Park on Academy. High Desert Park is a city park, open to all city residents and is maintained by the city. The City of Albuquerque sponsors the "Adopt A Park" program in which neighborhoods can adopt parks in their area. Adopting a park means that the sponsors do cleanup and other tasks in the park, report maintenance problems, and generally help with the care and feeding of the park. Sponsors can also play a role in other park issues. High Desert Park encompasses eight acres and includes two tennis courts, two playgrounds, two basketball courts, a soccer field, a volleyball area and three picnic tables. High Desert volunteers have decided to participate in the program for High Desert Park. There will be an initial meeting of everybody interested in participating in the "Adopt A Park" program on Tuesday morning, August 26. If you are interested in participating but cannot make this meeting, please contact Ray Berg, HDROA President, by email at rsberg01@comcast.net or call him at 294-4112. This is particularly important if you cannot make this initial meeting. Volunteers want to put together a contact list for notifications of future "Adopt A Park" activities. |
