Building a Stronger Maple Hills Together
Tuesday, August 4 | 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Maple Hills is an amazing neighborhood, and one of the reasons so many of us love living here is the strong sense of community we share. While our neighborhood is generally a very safe place to call home, recent events have reminded us that it's important to stay aware, look out for one another, and make an effort to get to know the people who live around us.
Whether it's checking in on a neighbor, recognizing when something doesn't seem right, or simply having familiar faces nearby, strong communities begin with strong relationships.
That's exactly what National Night Out (NNO) is all about.
National Night Out is an annual event that brings neighbors, local organizations, and first responders together to strengthen relationships, build trust, and create a safer, more connected community. It's an opportunity to meet the people who make Maple Hills such a wonderful place to live while enjoying an evening of fun for the entire family.
Join Us for an Evening of Community!
This year's event will include:
King County Sheriff's Office representatives
Local Fire Department personnel
Maple Hills Maintenance Company Board members
Community organizations and local business booths
Food trucks
Face painting
A Boy Scouts obstacle course
Family-friendly activities and more!
Whether you've lived in Maple Hills for decades or just moved into the neighborhood, National Night Out is a wonderful opportunity to meet new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and strengthen the connections that make our community thrive.
Calling All Local Businesses, Makers & Community Organizations
Do you have a home-based business, handmade crafts, artwork, or a trade or service you'd like to share with your neighbors?
We're inviting local entrepreneurs, artisans, nonprofits, and community groups to host a booth during National Night Out. It's a great opportunity to showcase your talents, introduce your business, and connect with the community.
Booth registration closes Monday, July 20.
Reserve your booth here: https://forms.gle/KpjhaoepXEwcsYKr7
We hope you'll join us on Tuesday, August 4, from 4:00–7:00 PM, as we celebrate everything that makes Maple Hills one of the best places to call home.
Let's continue building a neighborhood where neighbors know one another, look out for each other, and work together to keep Maple Hills strong.
Got a classic car? A cool ride? A project car you love?
Bring it out and show it off at the Maple Hills Cruise-In Car Show, July 22nd in the grass field.
Whether you’re a die-hard car enthusiast or just love checking out awesome vehicles, everyone is welcome to join the fun. Cars can begin rolling in as early as 5:00 PM.
Cars will park in the grass field - so look for our helpers who will be on deck to show you where to park.
But that’s not all…

Planning a Pool Party?
Did you know that Maple Hills offers private pool rentals? Whether you're celebrating a birthday, family gathering, or other special occasion, the pool is available to rent outside of regular member hours.

Pool reservations must be scheduled outside of designated member hours.
Evening rentals may be possible, but any exceptions require at least two weeks' advance notice to allow for staffing and scheduling adjustments.

Renting a Home in Maple Hills?
If you rent from a Maple Hills homeowner, you're welcome to use the pool once a few requirements have been completed:
The homeowner must submit the required Pool Access Authorization Form.
The homeowner must be current on HOA dues.
Once the form has been received and dues are verified, you'll be able to enjoy all the pool has to offer.
Don't Forget About Your HOA Dues
Access to the pool and other Maple Hills facilities is available to homeowners who are paid in full and in good standing, consistent with our governing documents.
The pool access system is updated each year on May 1. To avoid delays in activating your access, please make sure your HOA dues are paid by that date.
Please note: Dues received after May 1 may take up to two weeks to process before pool access is activated.

Food Truck Information
The neighborhood food trucks are coordinated by community volunteers and are not under contract with the HOA. Trucks may arrive anytime between 4:30–5:00 PM and typically begin serving shortly after arrival.
While we do our best to share truck details and menus in advance, information is not always available prior to the event. In addition, because trucks are independently operated businesses, there may occasionally be unexpected cancellations or schedule changes.
We appreciate your understanding and support as our volunteers work to bring fun and variety to the neighborhood food truck nights!
This Sunday!
Join us for a relaxing and restorative Yin Yoga class at the Maple Hills Firehouse this summer!
When: Sundays at 7:00 PM
Dates: July 19 (in the park), and July 26 (Add it to your calendar)
Dates: August 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30
As a certified Yoga Teacher with additional certification in Yin Yoga, I am excited to offer this class to our community. This is a free class, and I am donating my time to provide an opportunity for neighbors to move, stretch, and unwind together.
What to Expect
Each class will begin with approximately 15 minutes of gentle movement and warm-up exercises, such as Sun Salutations and other accessible yoga flows, to prepare the body for practice. The remainder of the class will focus on Yin Yoga, a slow-paced style that uses longer-held poses to target connective tissues, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation.
What to Bring
Please bring your own:
Yoga mat
Towel
Bolsters, blankets, or other props you may need for comfort
I will have a limited number of yoga blocks available to borrow.
If you are new to Yin Yoga or are unsure what props to bring, please feel free to ask before class.
Important Information
A liability waiver must be completed and signed before participating in class.
Participants should practice within their own comfort level and consult a healthcare provider if they have any concerns about participating.
All experience levels are welcome.
Looking Ahead
These classes are currently scheduled through July. Based on attendance, I will evaluate interest in mid-July and determine whether classes will continue into August.
Stay active at the pool this summer.
No experience necessary. Check out the fitness schedule in the Pool Calendar: https://www.maplehills.org/pool-calendar
