Retention Areas – Our association manages, controls and maintains four water retention areas within the community; One of these is a wet pond.  These areas are for the run-off of the paved roadways during heavy rains and storms.  These are not open play areas.  Within these retention areas there are both man-made and natural hazards which could be dangerous to unsuspecting children; not to mention natural wildlife.  So please, DO NOT allow your children to play in these areas – educate them to the dangers they may encounter if they fail to take heed.  Again, all retention areas within the Bent Oak at Meadowridge community are considered off-limits and will be considered trespassing.
