Drainage Ditches: A Message from Mark

MarkBailey Drainage ditches and storm water drain pipes have recently grown in popularity among some of the community’s children as interesting play areas.  The draw of the drain pipes, and in one case the drain tunnel that passes under Gloucester Parkway, can be enticing to the curious. 

The large rocks and debris that collects in these areas, and now with the warm weather, the various wildlife like poison ivy, snakes, ticks, and other biting insects that can flourish in these areas, has the potential of causing injuries.  Please educate your children that these areas are not meant for “wilderness explorations” and “hide and seek.”  With the chance of thunderstorms and flash-flooding arriving quickly, these areas can become engorged with rushing water very quickly.

Thank you!

Mark Bailey
HOA Manager
