It is important to keep your address plaques visible from the street in order for your guests to identify your home, and for emergency response teams to quickly find your home during the event of an emergency. 

 

In the event of an emergency, time is your enemy and a poorly visible address plaque (or, an address plaque that is not lit) can cost you precious time, and may be deadly to the resident because of the delays that result. 

 

• Trim down any plant material that may be blocking your address plaque from view. 
• Take a look at your address plaque at night and ensure that it is illuminated. Here are few troubleshooting tips if you find that your address plaque is not being lit:
  • Replace the lamp or bulb.  Most bulbs can be purchased at your local hardware store.  Often times, if one bulb is out, this will affect the power to the other bulb.
  • Check the transformer.  Most address plaques receive power from the doorbell transformer which is usually found in the hall closet.  If not there, check the garage.  If a new transformer is required, you can purchase one at your local hardware store.
  • Not sure how to replace a bulb or transformer?  Have no fear!  Check out our list of handyman services under the SCCA Business Directory (under the Members tab) or click here.

To all those who attended the June 24th Summer Kick Off / Meet the Board event, we Thank You for attending!  We had over 75 residents meet and mingle with the Sycamore Creek Board of Directors.  Residents enjoyed hot dogs and hamburgers, ice-cold drinks and ice cream.  Residents, as well as a few of the board members, showed off their hula hoop skills, played Jenga, and Connect Four.  Needless to say, a fun time was had by all!

At any pool facility, the facility's pool rules are meant to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment.  Similarly, Sycamore Creek's Pool Rules were established to provide an enjoyable recreational opportunity for our community residents and their guests, and to assure the safety of every individual at the pool.  

 

Sycamore Creek's Pool Rules may seem restrictive, but it is there for good reason.  For instance, one rule states, "Rafts, boogie boards, or any other items that would obstruct a clear view of the water are not permitted." While many of us like to float on the water, consider what may happen if every household brought a water toy (a boogie board or "donut", perhaps) to the pool?  Chances are, there will be hardly any room in the pool to swim or float!  From a safety standpoint, these devices will impede one's ability to swim in the pool.  They will also block the view of the water, which will prevent a parent or guardian to keep a good, close watch on their child or guest. 

 

As a Sycamore Creek resident, we encourage you to review Sycamore Creek's Pool Rules and to view the list of acceptable and unacceptable flotation devices here.  With your understanding and cooperation, you can help promote a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable time at the pool for your family and for your guests!

The parkway tree trimming schedule for trees under 15 ft. is as follows:

 

• Pacific Crest Street, Lemongrass Street, Sage Street, Cameron Court, Marygold Way, Caraway Lane, Hyacinth Street, Clover Circle.

• Kalmia Court, Jasmine Way, Fuchsia Court, Camellia Street, Noble Canyon Street, Larkspur, and Iris Court.

The County of Riverside street sweeper will now service the Sycamore Creek (public) streets on the 2nd and 4th TUESDAY, monthly, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Please take note of the NEW schedule, and remember to remove your cars from the street in order for the street sweeper to clean the roads.

Attention Parents and Guardians!  School will be out soon, and your child(ren) will be begging to go to the pool.  Therefore, we want to take this opportunity to remind you of your community's Pool Rules.

 

We encourage you to share the Pool Rules with your family and your guests to ensure that everyone (including your family and friends!) has an awesome time at the Swim Club pool facility this summer. 

 

 

Use of the pool is a privilege and may be revoked (in other words, the resident's access card will be de-activated for a period of 30 days) by the Board of Directors if any resident fails to comply with the rules, or unreasonably infringes upon other residents' rights or enjoyment of the facility.
