Happy Hour @ Parry's Pizza
Earlier this week, we held our first happy hour event of 2025 at Parry's Pizza! With the excellent weather, several Painted Tree residents came out to enjoy the good food and a good time with neighbors. This was also a fundraising event for the ManeGait Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center. A check for 20% of the proceeds from Painted Tree orders will be sent to ManeGait later this week.
We had two lucky winners of $50 Parry's Pizza gift cards. Congratulations to Rosemarie Cidmonte and David Tillett!
Thank you to everyone who attended. We look forward to the next Community Happy Hour in April.

"When will the pool open?"
Our current warm weather has many thinking about taking a dip in the pool! We are currently preparing for pool season by hiring a pool monitoring company, taking care of any necessary repairs, and purchasing any needed items.
The Village Trailhead pool will open in early May, weather permitting. The anticipated opening of the new Lakeside pool is Memorial Day weekend.

The Outpost Amenity Center
They are making excellent progress this month with landscaping, interior finishes, etc. at the Outpost Amenity Center. We are still anticipating opening in April, pending any setbacks with the city of McKinney.
Lakeside Trailhead Amenity Center
We are anticipating a Memorial Day opening of this new amenity center with a pool, covered pavilion, playground, and trail access.
For information on construction projects throughout the community, click on the "Full Construction Report" to see past updates.
All target dates are only projections. Like building a home, the development team runs into roadblocks that prevent construction such as city requirements, weather, or product availability. All items will be completed, but we ask for your patience as we construct these great amenities that will be useful for years to come!
