Walden Lake Community Association Board Meetings are held the third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Walden Lake Community Association office building on Griffin Boulevard in Walden Lake. The next meeting is March 20th. Please keep an eye on the announcement boards at all entrances for dates and times of special meetings and events. Meetings are now being held in person although you can still log in to www.WaldenLake.org and view the meeting virtually on zoom.

Every year the WLCA has 3 openings available on the Board of Directors, which are voted on by the members of the association at the Annual Meeting in April. If you are interested in being on the ballot, please contact the HOA for more information.

The Planning Board met at the Trinkle Center on January 31st and again on February 8th regarding the development of the golf course. The applicant presented its newest plans to the Board at the first meeting and resident’s comments were heard on February 8th. The Planning Board did not make a final decision for them to review in more detail what was presented at the meetings. The final decision will be made on February 22nd at their regular Planning Board Meeting at 8:20 AM. For more information, please contact the City of Plant City.

The food trucks at the HOA Building/Sports Complex are on the second Fridays and last Sundays of each month. If you have not taken advantage of the delicious offerings, give them a try!
