Tennis Court & Baby Pool Update

The rainy first half of the year has delayed several proposed projects.  Then Ida hit…delays are an understatement; the added drainage ditch has really helped to keep water off of the tennis courts. The tennis courts have been cleaned and as soon as there are a few sunny days we hope to get the basketball half court painted onto the court nearest to the clubhouse.  The goal and 3 of the new benches along with the standard covers for the tennis court net will be added to prevent any accidents. This court was chosen for lighting and video camera coverage. 
We are getting there. Eventually we will get the west and north sides of the tennis courts cleared out and add more lights to the west court.
The baby pool will be drained and resurfaced during the month of October…weather permitting.

Update Pool Card Key

In July, the CPHA Board asked ALL homeowners to update their pool card key information of the 187 homes that Covington Point has there were less than 30 responses at that them. The second request went out with the first quarter statements in April as the Spring 2020 Newsletter. There were only 15 responses to that request.
At this time, ALL card key access is off related to the Covid-19 Pandemic. We are following state guidelines as to when we will reopen the pool facilities. Furniture, attendance, and bathroom clean guidelines must be determined prior to the opening of the facilities.
Below is the info copied from the 1st quarter newsletter. ONLY those 15 who replied after the 1st quarter statements/newsletter DO NOT need to resubmit their info. All other homeowners MUST reply to have card key access turned back on.

Pool Card Key System Update
We will utilize this pool down time for updating the card key system. ALL card keys have been turned off.

Drainage CP Subdivision

This map was provided to the CPHA Board in early March of this year. But the Board started this endeavor back in May of 2020. At that time there was an outdated map that didn’t even show the drainage on the west end of the subdivision. 

We worked with the city and parish to get all drainage in and around Covington Point cleared and flowing. The red color marks drainage that the City of Covington is responsible for. The yellow color marks the drainage that the Parish of St. Tammany is responsible for. 

Now that the drainage is clear, an annual maintenance schedule has been put in place.  If there is a particular problem that a homeowner notices, please reach out the the appropriate entities.
