It is wonderful seeing so many of our neighbors outdoors enjoying regular excercise with their families and pets. Please be mindful in practicing social distancing from your neighbors and to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) whenever possible.
The VAT Community Park is Closed (update)
By order of the City of Columbus, the Village at Thornapple Community Park will remain closed until government officials advise otherwise.

Please continue to avoid any gatherings at the park and use of the play equipment until further notice. If you have any questions, please contact Vida Burns at (614) 402-5039 or [email protected].
Think Global, Act Local!
In the spirit of community service during this challenging time, one of our newest neighbors has stepped up to offer their assistance to Village at Thornapple residents. She has generously offered to run errands and deliver groceries. If you are in need of such assistance, please contact Sarah at [email protected] or at 614-506-2219. THANK YOU SARAH!

Street Tree Pruning and Removal
The recent pruning and tree removal of City street trees is as a result of the HOA’s ongoing communication with the City, Department of Forestry. The board maintains ongoing communication regarding the condition of trees and sidewalks throughout the community. If you want to know about the replacement of a removed tree or to report issues regarding City matters, please contact 311.columbus.gov. or call (614)645-3111.
Why aren’t the HOA dues used to plow our streets?
The association has explored this topic from cost to legality. The professional contractors who carry the required business insurance have quoted $12,000.00 per snow contract season whether it is used or not. Alternatively, the cost is $1000.00 per occurrence. From a legal standpoint, the association does not have the authority to provide services on City property and most professional companies are not willing to assume the liability.
As winter snow falls, please utilize the 311 Columbus request for service feature. Communities that file concerns about snow removal actually assist the City in identifying locations in need. Please call 614-645-3111 or visit 311.columbus.gov.
