Re: Walden Woods Common Area

Walden Woods is a residential area off of Auburn Folsom Road approximately three miles north of Douglas Blvd.  Over the past few months, our twenty eight-acre common area, between Los Lagos and Walden Woods, has been used on some Friday and Saturday nights by uninvited and unidentified youths, as a site for beer parties including bonfires.  Recently, a party was held and leaflets announcing the party were distributed at Del Oro High School.  The Sheriff's office on one evening was called several times and helped close down one of these events.

This area is undeveloped.  That means that there are fire roads but no improved roads, no water or electricity.  We want to keep it that way.  It is also gated private property and signs are posted to this effect.

We are concerned that any fire that is started may get out of control - especially in the summer.  The consequences could be catastrophic not only for Walden Woods but for the surrounding communities as well.

We want your help in ensuring that everyone knows that this area is private property and that the behavior described above is not acceptable. The rules established for this area are very simple:

  • No trespassing.  Only the Walden Woods homeowners and their invited guests are expected to use or be in this area.

  • No Fires

  • No unauthorized motorized vehicles

  • No drinking by minors


As community leaders we want everyone to know what is going on in our area.  We want to stop this problem before it gets out of hand because we cannot afford even one mistake.  Please inform others in your organization of this situation.  We appreciate in advance your efforts to assist us in this matter.

If you would like to visit our common area and see it for yourself or if you need additional information please call Bill Furnas - Chairman of the Walden Woods Common Area Committee at 916-652-0361
(bxf@unify.com) or Mike Stewart - Vice President of the Walden Woods Homeowners Association at 916-652-4646 (mike-a-stewart@hp.com).

Best regards,

Bill Kenney
