Dear TrailMark Residents,
As discussed in our March 10th HOA meeting, the HOA Board recently found out from South Suburban Parks and Recreation that the bulletin boards in TrailMark Park and Hogback Hill Park are the sole responsibility of the HOA to maintain. A previous HOA Board signed an agreement with South Suburban to take care of the bulletin boards back in 2003.
Unfortunately, there has been a huge rise in vandalism and destruction to both of these bulletin boards as seen in the photos. A month ago, someone broke one of the plexiglass doors at TrailMark Park. Rather than hiring a contractor to replace the broken plexiglass, I went and bought a piece of plexiglass for $49.85 and fixed it myself in order to help our community.
Sadly, both bulletin boards have been subject to multiple acts of graffiti, broken plexiglass, broken locks, firework damage, etc. During our March 10th HOA meeting, the Board asked for public input and homeowners in attendance collectively agreed that this was not a good use of our HOA dues. The Board then voted unanimously to remove both bulletin boards by our HOA contractor for $465.
Over the years, our HOA Board used the bulletin boards to post our monthly newsletters. We have found that almost no one goes to the parks to read our newsletters in 2026 since we’ve become a digital society. Our monthly newsletters are posted on our website at this link: https://www.trailmark.org/newsletter/
In other words, the bulletin boards no longer serve the purpose in the year 2026 like they did in 2003. They’ve become an item to destroy rather than a public posting place.
This weekend a contractor will be removing both bulletin boards. If you are not currently signed up for our monthly newsletters and email blasts and would like to receive current HOA information, please click on this link to sign up your email address: https://www.trailmark.org/email-sign-up/
