THE HOA DOES NOT CURRENTLY OWN THIS LAND!
The developer included in our governing documents that the HOA is responsible for maintaining it. City is willing to sale!
HISTORY of THE LAND
This land needs to be under HOA ownership.
The basketball court, located next to the pool by Los Rios, may seem like HOA property, but it actually isn't. When Trails of Glenwood was first developed, the developer made an agreement with the City: the land would remain City-owned, but the developer could build a basketball court, and the HOA would handle its maintenance.
For the past 15 years, the HOA has been covering landscaping and upkeep to keep the court in good condition. Now, we have a unique opportunity to change that arrangement. While the original plan may have made sense at the time, we can now take ownership of the land and decide its future-creating a space that truly serves our community.
It’s $20,000!
After the HOA takes ownership, the Board will decide together what the best use of the land will be.
We want The Trails of Glenwood to stand out as the best community in Plano! With East Plano’s towering trees as the backdrop, we imagine a vibrant multipurpose court where residents can play pickleball, exercise outdoors, and enjoy a secure, stylish recreation area enhanced with elegant wrought-iron fencing.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our community!
VOTE VOTE VOTE.
According to our HOA bylaws, 67% of homeowners must vote to approve the acquisition of this land. Here’s why this is so important: the City of Plano is offering it to us for just $20,000—a fraction of its real value! This is a rare opportunity to turn an underutilized space into a vibrant hub for fun, fitness, and community connection. We can’t afford to let it pass us by. Every vote matters, so please make your voice count—VOTE NOW! And rest assured, the Trails of Glenwood HOA is financially strong, so this purchase will not result in any additional assessments.
Ideas for the land — these are just concepts.

- City Council Decision – The City Council holds a final public hearing and votes to approve or deny the rezoning.
- Post-Approval Conditions – If approved, the applicant must meet any conditions (like site plans, buffers, or improvements) before developing.

A multipurpose court is more than just an amenity—it’s an investment in the health, connection, and long-term value of our neighborhood. By offering Pickleball, one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, the court creates opportunities for all ages to stay active and engaged. It provides a space where families, friends, and neighbors can gather, exercise, and build stronger community ties. Beyond recreation, having a well-designed multipurpose court increases the overall appeal of the neighborhood, making it more attractive to potential homeowners and ultimately boosting property values. This addition will help position our community as one of Plano’s most desirable places to live. .

WILL HOA DUES INCREASE
One of the most common questions I’ve been asked is whether this land acquisition will increase HOA dues. The answer is —there will be no dues increase related to this purchase. The cost of the land is only $20,000.
If you log into your CMA homeowner portal, you can view the HOA’s financials.
WHAT PART OF THE BUDGET WILL THIS COME FROM
Our association currently has nearly $1 million in reserves, specifically for long-term community needs and opportunities like this.
TO PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE
THE HOA spends well over $100K each year on landscaping alone. Purchasing the land we’ve already been maintaining for the past 15 years is a smart and affordable investment that protects our community’s future.
