What a great time we had at the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 30! Many thanks to Laura Nattinger and Lisa Griggs for all their hard work in planning such a fun event. The children enjoyed an egg hunt, refreshments, face painting and even a petting zoo! Here are some photos from the morning’s festivities.
We are looking forward to a great pool season this year! Improvements to the pool area are still ongoing; therefore, the pool will open for the season on Sunday, April 14. Your Scofield ROA will celebrate the start of the pool season with a pool opening party with frozen custard and live music on the 14th from 3 pm to 6 pm. More details about the party are available here.
Our spring neighborhood garage sale will be held on Saturday, April 6, from 8 am to 12 pm. Scofield Farms has 20 homes participating this year.

Come join your fellow neighbors this Saturday, March 23rd from 9:00am to 12:00 noon at Scofield Farms Park. We will be finishing up spreading the mulch from the mountain of mulch that was given to us prior to It’s My Park Day. Despite our best efforts a few Saturdays ago, we didn’t have enough hands to complete the project. Many of you were unable to attend the fun and camaraderie at the last event, so now is your chance to help make our park better and meet some great neighbors in the process.
We will meet at the north end of the park this time at the picnic tables, just off the end of Tamar Lane. Pitchforks, shovels, and wheelbarrows will be provided, as well as all the water you can drink.
Contact Dan Frasier for additional information. Hope to see you this Saturday!
Have you ever wondered what being part of the Scofield Farms ROA board was all about? Come join current board members for a short informational session at the pool on Sunday, March 24th from 4 to 5 pm. Every year, new positions open up on the board as members complete their 3-year terms. We are always looking for capable, dedicated candidates! If you are interested in running for a board position in the near future, or just want to find out more about the workings of the board, please join us. Want to submit a question in advance? Email us at webmaster@scofieldfarms.org.
All neighborhood residents are invited to the Parmer Lane Elementary Family Fitness Fair, scheduled from 6 to 7:30 pm on March 26.

Food will also be sold during the evening to raise funds for school projects. Check in at the Information Station in the back parking lot to get a map of all the events. See you there!
Come join your neighbors for the annual “It’s My Park Day” park cleanup event at Scofield Farms Park, to be held on Saturday, March 2, from 9 am to 12 pm. It’s My Park Day is a citywide park improvement event, made possible by the participation of volunteers like you and your family. This year, the Scofield Farms Park Beautification Project will include trash pickup, moving mulch, removing limbs and brush from along trails, and clearing invasive plants like China Berry trees. Snacks and water will be provided (bring your own drinking container, please).
The online signup sheet for the event is now available here
On the morning of the event, we will meet at the picnic tables under the pavilion in the park where Visalia Lane intersects with Scofield Farms Drive. If you have gloves, please bring them, otherwise some should be provided. Tools will be provided as well. However, if you have a wheelbarrow that can be used to move mulch, please bring it as the city does not have many available.

Did you know that Austin Energy will pay you $50 for each old, standard-size (between 14- 27 cubic feet), working refrigerator or freezer? Just call 1-800-452-8685 to arrange for a pickup. To date, Austin Energy has collected more than 24,000 of these energy guzzlers. Next to heating, cooling and hot water, refrigerators and freezers use more electricity than any other home appliance. Refrigerators that are at least 15 years old use about twice the electricity of today’s new energy-efficient models. For more information, visit austinenergy.com.
