It's More Than a Community. It's a Lifestyle.

The Parke is an active 55+ adult community under the HOPA Law. It is governed by an elected five member Board of Directors supported by various committees. All Board of Directors and Committee Members are volunteer Parke residents, ensuring that the Association is for the "Residents by the Residents."

AMENITIES 

Your monthly HOA fee for The Parke covers the day-to-day cost of providing the following amenities and services.

Amenities and services may be added or discontinued at the determination of the Board of Directors.

Yard and Home Exterior Maintenance

 • Landscaping (mulching, pruning, and leaf removal) • Lawn care service (grass cutting, fertilization, and insect treatment)

 • Gutter cleaning

• Snow removal from driveways and walkways You may opt-out of some of these HOA-provided services when you would rather perform the service yourself, or the service is not required. A form to opt out of services can be obtained from The Parke Clubhouse. Opting out of a service does not reduce the homeowner’s monthly HOA fees.
