Hawk’s Nest News
Dear Neighborhood Leaders:
The spray park located in Ballantrae Park is open limited hours this year and the spray park at the Dublin Community North Pool is closed for the season.
The spray park in Ballantrae Park will be open 10:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. and 3 – 5:30 p.m. Monday – Sunday. The park will be closed as of Aug. 1 for renovations. Both spray parks are anticipated to be open normal hours in 2012.
“The City is opening the spray park limited hours this year to take care of mechanical problems and prepare the spray park for renovations beginning in August,” said Fred Hahn, director of parks and open space. “The spray park located at the North Pool will be closed for renovations during the summer.”
Renovations are needed due to the existing filtration and water treatment systems not meeting the user demand loads and because of the recent adoption by the State of new regulations that deal with the design and operations of spray parks.

Hawk’s Nest Garage Sale!!!!
It’s that time of year again….Spring cleaning!
With that season, comes our annual Hawk’s Nest community garage sale event. It’s a great opportunity to get rid of some unwanted stuff and make a little money in the process. As you know, typically more folks come to these garage sales when a neighborhood is involved. The cost will be averaged out once we have a list of participants, although it usually comes to around $12 per household (that includes permit, advertising, and signage costs).
The date of the garage sale will be May 14th and 15th. If interested, please contact the Garwicks at tgarwick@dublin.oh.us or call Todd at (614) 410-4665. Please let them know ASAP.
SIGN UP FOR EMERGENCY ALERTS
Dublin Police has launched an enhanced version of the Dublin Emergency Calling System. The system – known as DECS – automatically alerts residents, businesses and first responders in times of crisis.
The City has a new provider for the enhanced service, Emergency Communications Network and its software program, CodeRED. While most Dublin residents and businesses are already in the City’s system, people can now sign up and confirm they will be notified in case of emergency. The enhanced system also allows for faster message dissemination and better message management.
Recipients receive time-sensitive information and instructions on how to safely and quickly respond should the City experience an emergency situation, such as a crime alert, hazardous materials spill, natural disaster, child abduction or homeland security threat.
The system also provides timely communication with other public facilities citywide. Schools, daycare centers and other high-risk facilities can be alerted to take necessary action.
Safety Alert
Dublin Police are asking Hawk’s Nest residents to be alert to any suspicious activities or persons and to notify police immediately if you suspect a crime is taking place. A recent attempted break-in the Bristol Commons subdivision has police on alert. Also, be watchful of people or groups congregating in the neighborhood who don’t live in Hawk’s Nest. Please keep your garage doors closed and keep a close eye on your children when outside and at the bus stop.
Directory Mailing
The directories will be printed and mailed soon. Thank you for all the new updates.
