| PETS: Any and all pets should be appropriately leashed or under the voice control of the owner at all times when outside. Please remember that the Metro Leash Law applies to Oakwood. Also, remember that Oakwood is a community with homeowners living closely to each other. All residents are urged to be conscious of this closeness and to be considerate of other residents living nearby when walking your pet. Please do not walk your pet on your neighbor's property. Being considerate of others will make you a great neighbor and homeowner. POOL: REFER TO SEPARATE POOL RULES. PLAYGROUND Children do not have to be physically attended by their parents, but should have their parent's consent to be in the area. While the Homeowners' Association assumes no responsibility for the safety of children using the playground, we strongly recommend that they have adult supervision at all times. PLEASE REFER TO SEPARATE PLAYGROUND RULES. PARKING/VEHICLES Article 7, Use Restrictions, #7.03 states: "Any automobile, motorcycle or truck shall be parked, stored or left wholly within the garage located up on the lot, except to the extent a garage is already occupied to capacity, in which case such vehicle may be parked temporarily in the driveway." This article also states that no boat, trailer, recreational vehicle, camper, camper truck or commercial vehicle shall be parked, stored or left on any part of the common area, in any driveway or on any other part of a lot unless it is fully enclosed within the garage located on the Lot or kept behind the front line of the house on the lot and behind a fence no less than 6 ft. in height which fully hides it from public view. No boat, truck, trailer, camper, recreational vehicle or tent shall be used as a living or dwelling area within the project.

Vehicles should not be parked on the grass and/or the street. Vehicles parked on the street are also a safety hazard. Wrecked or inoperative vehicles may be parked in the homeowner's driveway, provided that the vehicle is covered with a car cover. A regular tarp or other type covering will not be allowed. Car covers may be purchased at any Automotive Supply Store. This rule applies to vehicles that have been wrecked, have flat tires, are never moved/driven, etc. SIGNS Signs are prohibited on any lot or in any dwelling so as to be visible from outside the lot.
