Woodside Park HOA Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 is a voluntary association offering membership to all property owners in Woodside Park Units 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Pine Junction, Colorado. Your membership supports WPHOA in providing valuable services and making our community a better place to live. Every property owner in Woodside faces challenges that arise from living in the mountains, from clearing snow in the winter to protecting our properties from fire danger in the summer. Facing such challenges on our own can be daunting. Being a member of the Association allows each of us to benefit from collective strength. Join us, or renew your membership, and be a part of the future of Woodside! Dues are $30 per year, plus a one-time $10 fee when first joining. Click here for a membership application form.
While membership in the WPHOA is voluntary, please be aware that all lots in Units 2, 3 and 4 (not Unit 1) are subject to mandatory Covenants that have been in place since the creation of the three Units. The Covenants are enforced by an Architectural Control Committee established by the Covenants. A link to the Covenants can be found on our Documents Page.

FIREWISE CHIPPING EVENTS - Updated 20 April 2023
Woodside Park is part of Service Group 1 for the ECFPD Chipping Program. If you signed up for the program you should be receiving group emails with updates as the program progresses.

Please keep in mind that the Fuels Crew also manages the implementation of fuel breaks, mitigation projects, and acts as an initial response resource for wildfires and other emergencies. If there is a delay of more than one week for a specific group, ECFPD will send out updates via email. Updates will also be posted on the ECFPD Chipping website (on the chipping tab) every week.
Pile Guidelines
Piles that don't meet parameters, are hard to find, or hard to access take much needed time and effort out of the program.
