ACTIVITIES AT THE RAINTREE POOL
Dear Raintree Community,
I’m the new Activities Assistant for the Summer 2024 Game Day at the Raintree Pool! I’m excited to share details about the fun games and activities we have planned for the different children’s age groups.
Game Day will run every Tuesday from 2pm to 4pm, and Thursday from 4pm to 6pm, starting on June 25th through August 29th. Make sure you bring your Raintree amenity card to participate.
For Ages 12 Months to 3 Years:
- Parental participation is required – parents must be in the water or at the water’s edge to ensure safety and comfort for the little ones.
- Always keep a close eye on your child and make sure they are within arm’s reach.
- Our goal is to make pool time fun, so we’ll never force activities they may fear.
Some of the games planned for the 12 months to 3 years age group include water splashing, sing-along splash time with nursery rhymes, kicking practice, bubble blowing, and gentle treasure hunts. We’ll have the proper toys and equipment on hand.
For Ages 4 to 8 Years and Ages 9 to 13 Years, I have an entire lineup of pool games and deck activities! From classics like Marco Polo to relay races, water balloon tosses, limbo contests and more. We’ll take breaks every 20-30 minutes and have lifeguards helping with all activities.
I’m looking forward to a summer of making new friends and wonderful memories at the Raintree Pool! Please let me or the pool staff know if you have any other questions. See you at Game Day!

VEHICLE TAGS
Please DO NOT CALL the office asking “where are my vehicle tags”. When they are ready, you will receive an email with detailed instructions on getting them. There are thousands of cars in Raintree and the process takes time so please be patient. We have already put tags on several hundred cars and are moving as rapidly as we can to process the applications.
The Management Office is not handling the vehicle tag distribution – Raintree is using an independent contractor to manage the process, so the management office will not be able to tell you when your tags will be ready. Again you will be notified via the email address you put on your application form when and where to get the tags. The good news is that the clicker system is still working for most residents.
Again, thank you for your patience.

Notice to all Raintree Golfers:
The Raintree Golf Course official opening for the season will be on Tuesday March 26, 2024.
We will be adding sand to the sand traps and ask that all golfers kindly rake the sand traps after playing from the improved traps.
If you are interested in joining the working group/committee to re-establish a Raintree Golf Club or in being a part-time Golf Ranger, please contact Andy Magioncalda directly at 203.645.6540 or via email at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing our residents playing on the golf course.

GOLF COURSE AND TENNIS COURT HOURS
The Raintree Golf Course will be closing for the season sometime early fall 2024 in order to winterize the course by aerating, sanding, and roping off the permanent greens, putting in place temporary winter month greens in the fairway, and other related winter preparation activities. The course will reopen to Raintree resident Golfers on December 1 under the golf “Winter Rules” – once your ball is within the white circle around each temporary green, you are afforded a 2-stroke maximum.
We ask all residents to treat the course for the beautiful park that it is. Please make sure when playing during the winter months, to keep all play off of the permanent greens during this timeframe, in order to avoid damage and ensure that they are in playable condition in the spring. Golf rangers are not on regular duty during the winter months, however the course will still be patrolled part-time to assure that players are Raintree residents and are following the winter rules. Players play at their own risk and are expected to be respectful of the course, as always.
The Tennis courts will have winter hours effective immediately and will be open from 7am to 7:30pm, seven days a week. A valid Raintree amenity card is required to get access to play on the tennis courts. Raintree Management
