The purpose of the cap on non-resident members is to prevent overcrowding and maintain the safety and enjoyment of all members.

All Timbercrest residents are welcome to register at any time.

Park Cleanup

The next park cleanup will be Saturday, March 12, 9-11am. This will be the big spring cleaning. We need your help. Tasks will include:

  • branch pickup and leaf blowing
  • mulch spreading
  • trimming and pruning
  • fix driveway wash-out

Park cleanup is every month on the 2nd Saturday throughout the year. 

Volunteers

Thank you for all the hours you have put into this pool and park. It is a great place to be because of the volunteers that sustain it from year to year. You will be asked about which areas you will volunteer for in 2022 in your registration.

Sponsor Memberships

As our pool continues to age, we are faced with various maintenance and beautification projects which are required to ensure that our pool continues to be safe and enjoyable. These projects are a significant expense. Consider becoming a sponsor member. To learn more, visit: https://timbercrestneighborhood.org/sponsor-member

By donating to the Timbercrest Pool, you enrich the community, increase our property value, help the volunteers, and beautify the neighborhood. This fall, a shed for chemical storage will be installed. Several umbrellas will need to be replaced before next season. More chaise lounges are needed for next season. The board plans on ordering several new vinyl chairs in the off season.

Food City gift cards

Even in the off season, guest passes can be earned by purchasing $100 worth of Food City gift cards from Greg Locke (865-684-3699). Gift cards are available in $25, $50, or $100 denominations. The pool earns $5 from each $100 worth of gift cards, which adds up quickly.

Keys

Most members chose to keep their keys over the off-season. If you know that you will not join in 2022, contact us to return your key. The board will reach out to non-returning members next season to obtain unused keys. If you need a key, let us know when you register. Replacement keys are $5.

TRC History Project

We would like to start a Timbercrest Pool history project. Please share your memories and photos of the pool and park throughout the years.We have started a list of past board members.  Let us know if you’ve been a board member. We are also looking for a volunteer to coordinate and edit these memories into a TRC history page. Post your memories on the website forum: https://timbercrestneighborhood.org/pool/history-project  

Survey

The pool board would like to know your opinion about the pool. One way to tell us what you think is to fill out the 2022 Timbercrest Pool Survey: https://forms.gle/R7Bv2G3QZKK8eNZg8

Everyone is welcome to fill out the survey. We learn a lot, even from those who choose not to join the pool. Contact us for a paper survey.
