Centennial Park Lighting – Update

The Board of Directors would like to inform residents that Centennial Park has recently been impacted by acts of vandalism involving the theft of copper wiring from several park light fixtures. As a result, portions of the park lighting may be temporarily out of service.

Please note that the park is maintained by the City of Tustin, which is actively working to repair the damaged lighting and implement measures to better secure the fixtures against future incidents.

The Board encourages all residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Tustin Police Department. For emergencies or crimes in progress, please call 9-1-1. For non-emergency concerns, please contact the Tustin Police Department’s non-emergency line at (714) 573-3225.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as the City works to restore the park lighting. The Board will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as they become available.

Reminders ahead of the Holiday Weekend

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, we wanted to share a few community reminders.

Holiday Office Hours:

Please note that The Management Trust offices will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of Independence Day. Regular business hours will resume on the next business day.

If you experience a common area maintenance issue while the office is closed, please contact the Association’s after-hours line at 714.285.2626 and press 2 to speak with a representative. If you experience a life-threatening emergency or need police, fire, or medical assistance, please contact the appropriate emergency authorities.

Fireworks Reminder:

The City of Tustin prohibits all personal fireworks, including those marketed as “Safe and Sane.” The use, possession, sale, or discharge of fireworks within the city is prohibited and may result in fines or other enforcement action.

Illegal fireworks pose a significant fire risk, especially during the dry summer months, and can disturb neighbors, pets, and local wildlife. Residents are encouraged to celebrate safely by attending one of the many professional fireworks displays being held throughout the area instead of using fireworks at home.

For additional information on fireworks safety, please visit the Orange County Fire Authority’s Fireworks Safety page:

https://ocfa.org/news/before-you-light-that-fuse/

If you observe illegal fireworks or an emergency, please contact the appropriate local authorities. Always call 9-1-1 if there is an immediate threat to life or property.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep your community safe. We wish you and your family a happy, safe, and enjoyable Independence Day!

Updated Pool Hours

At the Board of Directors meeting held on June 9th, the Board approved a change to the community pool operating hours.

Effective immediately following the meeting, management implemented the updated schedule on June 10th, and resident access key cards have been adjusted accordingly.

The new operating hours for both community pools (East and West Pools) are:

7:00 AM – 10:00 PM (Daily)

This adjustment was made to better accommodate residents who enjoy early morning lap swimming and to provide additional flexibility for pool use throughout the day. All residents are welcome to utilize either pool during the new early morning hours should they choose to do so.

This schedule also aligns with the City of Tustin’s designated quiet hours of 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

We kindly remind residents to be mindful of neighboring homes and to help maintain a respectful and peaceful environment, particularly during early morning and evening hours.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping maintain a safe and enjoyable amenity for all residents.
