Short answer is that the townhomes and single-family homes were treated differently by the original developer in the 1980s, which means we need more organizations to unify our community so we can all enjoy what we have to offer.

There are a wide variety of social groups active in Falconbridge. Some are open to everyone. Examples are the July Fourth Parade and Potluck, or the Luminary Potluck. Some are open only to members of a specific organization. For example, if you want to attend activities sponsored by the FHA’s Recreational Facilities Committee, you need be an RFC Full Access or Limited Access Member (https://falconbridgehoa.org/pool/). If you want to attend Alliance-sponsored events, you need to join the Alliance. Some activities have additional fees to support their events, such as pickleball or exercise classes. Check out the current newsletter for upcoming events. It is sent to all neighbors via email. And click here for more info.

The Falconbridge Alliance has nothing to do with pickleball. To play pickleball on the Falconbridge courts, first join the Recreation Facilities Committee’s full access or limited access membership (https://falconbridgehoa.org/pool/). Single-family homeowners must pay to join. Townhome owners pay as part of their monthly dues assessment and just need to sign up. Then contact the Pickleball Club to pay their court fee and sign up to play (https://falconbridgehoa.org/pickleball/).

The pond is owned and managed by the FHA (townhome HOA). There is a path around the pond that walkers may enjoy. Do not ride bikes on the path. Please respect the plant buffer and fencing installed to discourage geese from settling here permanently. Do not run, bike or sled on the hill created by the dam. It is fragile and protects houses from damage from the pond. https://falconbridgehoa.org/pond/
