Community News and Announcements

Coming Soon - Under New Management

  The Board voted to shift management of our association from Chaparral to Inframark. Their portal will be easy to navigate for our homeowners. They offer Townsquare, which is a Facebook-like technology where our community manager, board members, homeowners, and tenants (for rental units) can easily get and share information. Their Smartwebs Deed Restriction Portal and the Smartwebs ACC Portal will make the architectural control process easier. The transition period will begin on June 1, and Inframark will begin managing Wildwood at Oakcrest on July 1.

police app

C4 Now! App

  Harris County Constable Precinct 4 has a new free phone app called C4 Now! so we can follow the constable's office as they keep our community safe. Get the latest news on crime, arrests, traffic, accidents, and emergencies in our area. Report suspicious activity, crime, and traffic issues. Download C4 Now! from the Apple App or Google Play stores. 

Harris Helps App

  Harris Helps is a mobile application that enables Harris County residents to submit non-emergency requests to the responsible County Precinct using a smart phone or tablet. A typical Harris County service request can be anything from reporting a pothole, trees obstructing roadways, traffic obstructions, to identifying road closures. The mobile application is designed to be quick and easy to use. Download Harris Helps from the Apple App or Google Play stores. 

Mailboxes

The United States Post Service (USPS) is responsible for maintaining the mailboxes. There are mailboxes in 32 locations throughout the community. When USPS fails to fulfill its responsibility, the onus falls to each homeowner. For the convenience of the homeowners and to handle issues consistently, the Board passed a motion to have the HOA accept responsibility for all of the mailboxes. Homeowners should report mailbox issues to Chaparral using the homeowner portal.

Water Issues

The Northwest Harris County Municipal Utility District 5 (NWHCMUD5) provides water service to Wildwood at Oakcrest. Sometimes residents experience a brownish color and a funny smell to their water. This could be related to a variety of factors including NWHCMUD5 flushing their lines. The only way for NWHCMUD5 to address the situation is for each homeowner to contact NWHCMUD5, provide their home address, and have NWHCMUD5 investigate. Residents can contact NWHCMUD5 direct 281-290-6500 or 281-290-6503, toll free at 855-290-MDS1 or visit mdswater.com to report issues.

Yard of the Month

picture taking

Yard of the Month Recommendations

To select the Yard of the Month, committee members walk the community and take pictures of candidate yards. There is no cause for alarm if residents observe someone taking pictures of their home during daylight hours. Owners who have recently made improvements to their yards and would like to be considered, can contact the committee at wwoakcrest.yotm@gmail.com. Recommendations of neighbors' yards are also welcome as tips on where to look are preferable to having to hunt for yards.

Yard of the Month Winner

Congratulations to our July Yard of the Month Winner. Thanks to Lindsay Barton REALTOR ® with HomeSmart Fine Properties for sponsoring this month.

Splash Pad Access and Operation

Owners access the Splash Pad using a code that owners whose accounts are in good standing can obtain from Chaparral. There is a timer on the system that allows it to be activated each day from 10:00 am until 8:00 pm only. To operate the system: press the silver button (located on the fence next to the gate on the inside of the splash pad area) and HOLD for 3 SECONDS and then release. BE PATIENT – it takes a few seconds for the water to start flowing! PLEASE DO NOT KEEP PUSHING ON THE BUTTON. Once activated, the Splash Pad runs for 15 minutes and then automatically shuts off. It can be restarted for additional 15 minute intervals.

Owners whose accounts are in good standing use their fobs to access the pool (gate near clubhouse entrance). Owners without fobs can purchase them and pick them up at the Chaparral office at 6630 Cypresswood Drive in Spring. See Documents > Community & Event Info > Pool and Splash Pad Info > 2022 Pool Info on the portal documents page for more information.
