About Parker Park

Your Neighborhood Park

Per the founding documents, Parker Park maintenance is the financial responsibility of all 98 homeowners in the 1st Filing. This responsibility is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors that consists of 1st Filing homeowners. The Park Board meets periodically, typically in January, and 1st Filing homeowners are always welcome to attend the meetings. The Board is always looking for new members and the time commitment is minimal, so if you think you might like to help us by becoming a new member or would like to learn more about our process and procedures, please send contact us.

All homeowners in the Heatherwood 1st Filing are members of Heatherwood, Inc. The Board of Directors of Heatherwood, Inc. currently consists of the following 1st Filing homeowners:

  • Evan McCalmon, President

  • Robert Oehmke

  • Todd Lucia

  • Will Keeley

  • Susan Evans

  • Dave Van Noord

The yearly assessment is made pursuant to the “Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions” of Heatherwood Filing #1. Liens may be placed against properties that have not paid their assessments unless arrangements are made in advance with the Park Board. A link to the ByLaws, Articles of Incorporation, and Common Areas can be found here.

2024 Recap:

As always, a HUGE THANKS to all the members of the community who have helped with the park over the last several years (snow blowing, planting and pruning trees, picking up litter, dog poop, etc.).

This year we had two expensive repairs over the summer and fall: The first of these was mandated by The City of Boulder (our water source) due to a change in regulations. For this we had to entirely replace our backflow prevention device with an updated model. The other was to fix a major break in a sprinkler line in the southwest corner of the park. Because of these expenses and the increasing cost of water, etc., the yearly assessment has increased by $5.00.

The Parker Park website (https://www.parkerparkboulder.com/) is a great resource for information on the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Heatherwood Filing #1, instructions for paying the dues electronically via Zelle, and contact info for the Heatherwood 1st Filing Board. Please check it out!

Outlook for 2025: The Park Board continues the long-term goal to modernize irrigation and fix leaks; upgrades to the park will make water use more efficient and help offset increases in the cost of water from the City of Boulder. With this goal in mind, we can keep the dues at a reasonable rate and keep the grass and trees healthy. Likewise, we continue to modernize our administrative and communication processes. We’re still collecting primary emails associated with the 1st Filing properties for ease of sending assessment notices and annual letters. Please send us an email (heatherwood.parkboard@gmail.com) or reach out via the new website with your 1st Filing address to start receiving our notifications electronically.

Please know that the Heatherwood 1st Filing Board is working to keep Parker Park a beautiful communal gathering place that has a history as long as our neighborhood.

2023 Recap:

As always, a HUGE THANKS to all the members of the community who have helped with the park over the last several years (snow blowing, planting and pruning trees, picking up litter, dog poop, etc.).

In the park, we shut off the water just before the first freeze. The trunk of the newly-planted Greenspire Linden was wrapped with paper to protect it from the cold. We’ve also purchased three new sprinkler heads to be installed this spring.

Administratively, we’re excited to announce our new Parker Park website, expertly designed by board member Susan Evans, (https://www.parkerparkboulder.com/) to help the 1st Filing members find the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Heatherwood Filing #1, instructions on paying the dues via Zelle as a form of electronic payment, and contact info for the Heatherwood 1st Filing Board. Please check it out!

Outlook for 2024: The Park Board continues the long-term goal to modernize irrigation and fix leaks; upgrades to the infrastructure of the park will help offset increases in the post-flood cost of water from the City of Boulder. With this goal in mind we feel that we can continue to keep the dues at a reasonable rate and keep the grass and trees in healthy shape. Likewise, we continue to modernize our administrative and communication processes. We’re still collecting primary emails associated with the 1st Filing properties for ease of sending assessment notices and annual letters. If so inclined, please send us an email (heatherwood.parkboard@gmail.com) or reach out via the new website with your 1st Filing address to start receiving our notifications electronically.
