GATE KEYS AND KEYPAD - UPDATED 05/06/2020
2022 - Keys are no longer needed for the pedestrian gates. We now have combination locks on both gates. To learn the code for the lock please go to the Documents page.
The pedestrian gates have been repaired and should be kept locked at all times for security. We have noticed people circumventing the locked gates by forcing open the car exit gates. This causes damage to the gates and motor and could end up costing the community thousands to repair. This cost could be passed directly to those caught forcing the gate open.
