Work to Begin on Eight Eldorado Roads Preserve Update
Photo by Merlin Emrys, used with permission On the recommendation of the Conservation Committee, the Board has voted to close the Eldorado Community Preserve to all rock-climbing activities pending damage assessment and restoration. This action was taken in response to rock climbers leaving permanent anchors and other fixtures as well as chalk on the rocks in archaeologically and ecologically sensitive areas and establishing unauthorized “social trails" in the Preserve.
*The Preserve remains open to all approved activities (hiking, biking, horseback riding) by Eldorado residents on the official designated trails. COVID-19 POOL UPDATE
We are disappointed to announce the Eldorado pool will not be opening Memorial Day weekend; the safety and health of residents and staff is of upmost importance. We are committed to following the direction of the governor and the Public Health Order. At this time, we await further guidance which is not set to occur until the beginning of June. Pool inspections cannot occur until the governor allows recreational and/or pools to open. New Dog Park RulesDOG PARK SPECIAL COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
