New Community Manager!
Hello everyone,
I’m Tracey Collins, and I’m thrilled to be your Community Manager. With a degree in Public Administration from Northern Arizona University, I’m passionate about fostering connections and making our community thrive. Beyond my professional life, I find joy in my family – I’m a proud mother of two and a grandmother to two adorable grandchildren.
When I’m not busy with work or family, you’ll often find me outdoors, indulging in my favorite activities like e-biking, paddle boarding, and hiking. There’s something so rejuvenating about being in nature and soaking up the beauty around us. But perhaps my greatest passion lies in the kitchen. Cooking is not just a hobby for me; it’s a way to explore new cultures and flavors. I love experimenting with different ingredients and techniques, constantly learning and expanding my culinary horizons.
I’m excited to share my journey with all of you and to learn from each of you in return.

Painting Project
What is the status of the paint project?
This project was completed in the Fall of 2023. We are now in the one-year warranty phase. If you have any stucco damage or paint touch ups required, please reach out to PM@lakeparkvillageaz.com AND copy Board@lakeparkvillaeaz.com ASAP.
Landscape and Irrigation
In early summer, we gave notice to our previous landscaping company and are now working with a small landscaping business contracted four days a week. Upon making this vendor change we immediately discovered that our irrigation system had not been monitored and properly maintained by our previous landscaping company and we were forced to address and correct numerous issues with our aging irrigation system. This is the main focus and priority for our landscaper due to the continuing loss of water and landscaping due to broken irrigation lines. We believe that we are on top of the current water loss issues and landscaping maintenance will become the main focus moving forward.
ACC Requests
A lot of my neighbors are making enhancements to their property, such as putting up shades over their courtyards, adding exterior lights or upgrading their front gate. Can I do that?
Absolutely. However, we do have guidelines you must follow. Any change you make to the outside of your home (other than outdoor furniture) MUST be reviewed/approved by our Architectural Committee PRIOR to installation. Please check out the Docs section of the Homeowner Portal for Architectural guidelines/forms.
Pool Furniture
Straps are breaking and the pool furniture looks old. Are there any plans to update?
New pool furniture has been delivered and installed.
Signs
We have replaced all visitor parking signs, the speed limit sign, private parking for certain units, and the lift station sign. We also now have helpful directional signs at the “Y” entrance to our community, along with a sign where we can post community announcements. In addition, we have a lovely Lake Park Village address sign that matches our unit numbers plus a large Welcome to LPV sign which includes our community rules. The next phase is to replace the pool signage.
Bugs
Are you seeing more bugs around and in your home than normal?
LPV contracts with Great Western Pest Control to come and treat the common areas once a month. Any homeowner can request service with them for their own property at the time of visit for $25. Feel free to give them a call to get on the schedule and set up payment: (480) 507-7803.
Community Clean-Up
I need help with getting a large item or two picked up for disposal. How can I do this?
Now that the painting project is finished, we are asking our community to look at their courtyards (especially the lower courtyard) and make plans to dispose of items that should not be stored there, not even on a short-term basis. As a visible area to our entire community and others, courtyards should not be used as a storage area for indoor or broken outdoor items. If you have large or bulky items that you wish picked up for disposal, the City of Mesa has a bulk item pick-up. The minimum cost is $25 and may be more depending on size and volume. Request this through the property manager, and the cost will be billed back to you. Thank you for your support in keeping our community clean!
