As a member of Redwood Estates, you and your family may enjoy our community’s swimming pool. We ask that you fill out and initial the Members Pool Card (kept on file at the pool) with emergency contact information. The following is designed to make all members and their guests aware of the safety rules to be followed at the Redwood Estates Pool. Members must be in good standing (less than 31 days delinquent with any monies due to the RESA Corporation) in order to utilize the pool.

  1. NO RUNNING OR PUSHING
  2. NO FOUL LANGUAGE

Children aged 5 and under must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older. If the adult is not the parent or legal guardian, they must have written permission from the parent.

Children aged 6 to 9 must be accompanied either by an adult or by a guardian aged 14 years or older, with written permission from the parent.

Children aged 10 or older are required to pass a swimming ability test given by the lifeguard in order to remain at the pool unaccompanied by an adult.

The above rules are enforced by RESA’s lifeguards and RESA staff members, who have the authority to suspend pool privileges.

Brush chipping June 13

The continued lack of rain this winter has significantly increased the fire danger in our mountain communities.  It is the time of year to prepare for wildfire season and create defensible space around your home. Not only does this help protect your home in the case of a wildland fire, it also helps protect our community as a whole.

Our next Brush Chipping Day is June 13 at the Pavilion parking lot, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Drive-up only; please do not leave piles.

Redwood Estates is part of the Lexington Hills Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). This plan will be adopted throughout Santa Clara County. RESA has been working closely with Santa Clara County Fire, Cal Fire,  the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Services (OES), and the Santa Clara County FireSafe Council for the past five or six years to continue to improve what is known as our Community Emergency Evacuation Route.

Redwood Estates is one of the few communities that have a main thoroughfare that connects highway 17 to Highway 35 (Summit Road).  These arrows are placed on our roads to direct emergency vehicles as well as traffic that may be diverted if Highway 17 is closed due to an emergency.
