< Back 2024-2025 Landscape Project Tim Stoltzfus Oct 27, 2024 Learn about the Landscape Renovation Approach Grounds Manager, Tim Stoltfuz and Landscape Designer, Dianna Lee are implementing to beautify DMC. "Operation Beautification" Goals Ramon helping a bird back to health To revitalize Del Mesa’s landscaping in a timely, cost-effective manner Why? To restore and showcase Del Mesa’s inherent beauty How? By leveraging Rana Plan Principles and Del Mesa’s existing staff, resources Priorities? Safety, fire-resistance, drought tolerance, deer resistance, water conservation, defensible space requirements, reduced ongoing maintenance Above-ground perspectives showcasing the progress of the landscape project in its early stages Greening the Future: Transforming Our Landscape to Be Sustainable and Fire-Resilient As communities across California feel the pressure of water conservation needs, wildfire prevention, and the need for sustainable living, landscaping is more than aesthetics—it’s essential. Embracing this shift, we’re transforming traditional landscaping into an environmentally-friendly design that supports California’s climate while meeting its urgent conservation goals. This shift isn’t just about beauty; it's about resilience, resourcefulness, and respect for our environment. Our goal is simple: craft a landscape that not only looks stunning but also conserves water, restores native flora, and meets California’s strict fire safety standards. Here’s how we’re taking bold steps to make this happen. From Conventional to Conservation-Driven The first stage involves assessing our current landscaping and replacing dying or diseased plants and lawns with species that align with environmental best practices. With sustainability at the core of every decision, our team aims to repurpose existing plants whenever possible . This approach limits waste and reduces the need for new resources, embodying a truly conservation-focused redesign. We’re introducing planting zones that prioritize drought-tolerant, native, pollinator-friendly, and fire-resistant species —ideal choices that will thrive in California's climate. These plants bring natural beauty while significantly reducing the need for constant watering and upkeep. Our community will enjoy vibrant and resilient green spaces that attract essential pollinators like bees and butterflies. Smart Irrigation for Long-Term Water Savings Our efforts extend below ground with a conversion to drip irrigation, a smart system designed to water plants directly at the roots. Unlike traditional sprinklers, drip irrigation drastically cuts down on water loss due to evaporation and runoff, ensuring plants receive exactly what they need without wasting a precious drop. As part of this new approach, our team will undergo hands-on training in irrigation systems, plant installation, and maintenance. By building in-house expertise, we’ll maintain our beautiful, eco-friendly landscapes with confidence. The initial photo shows the front of the clubhouse before the landscaping project, while the second and third images depict the Discovery Garden following its installation. Embracing the Future with a Demonstration Garden and Beyond A highlight of our initiative is the Demonstration Garden, Clubhouse, and Entry Beds , which will showcase our new approach by the end of this year. This garden will be an inspiration point—a vibrant example of what sustainable landscaping looks like in action. Looking ahead to 2025, our focus will expand to the neighborhoods, beginning with Northridge Drive, and extending the project to the Clubhouse Courtyard, Redwood Room, and Pool House beds. By systematically working through these areas, we’re creating a green framework that will extend beauty and environmental mindfulness throughout the community. A Landscape for Generations to Come We’re thrilled to be a part of a movement that’s as beneficial as it is beautiful. With this project, we are reshaping our landscape to be sustainable, resilient, and self-sufficient. As we approach the end of this year and look toward the future, we invite our community to watch the transformation unfold and enjoy the greener, safer environment we’re creating—one plant at a time. Smart Savings and Green Transformation: Landscaping Project Thrives on Designer Discounts and Resourceful Budgeting In a bold move towards a sustainable and budget-friendly landscaping renovation, our community is benefiting from cost-saving strategies and smart sourcing. This forward-thinking approach not only maximizes our funds but also prioritizes eco-friendly practices. Here’s how our designer’s ingenuity and our team’s commitment are helping create a sustainable, beautiful landscape at a fraction of the cost. Generous Fee Reductions & Donated Expertise Our visionary designer is not only delivering top-tier landscaping expertise but also providing it at a deeply discounted rate. Instead of the standard $120 per hour, the designer is charging just $60 per hour, a reduction that will save our project thousands. What’s more, this fee includes a 50% donation of the designer’s hourly rate —a significant contribution that underscores their dedication to our sustainable mission. Wholesale Savings on Plants and Materials From plants to boulders, our landscape team is procuring materials at unbeatable wholesale prices. For example, 1-gallon plants are costing us only $5 instead of the usual $14 , a huge reduction that will enable us to expand our greenery at a fraction of the expense. Additionally, our team secured boulders at 65% below retail cost , ensuring that we can add beautiful, natural landscape features without stretching the budget. Our designer’s extensive industry connections have also secured a Redwood pergola at an astonishing price: $4,000 versus the original $10,000 budgeted . This iconic structure will serve as a focal point of our landscape, offering shade, beauty, and a durable, natural material at a price that supports the overall project scope. Cost-Effective Labor & Training Opportunities One of the key strategies in this project is to utilize our in-house DMC staff for labor, which not only reduces costs but also provides an excellent opportunity for staff to gain hands-on experience in landscape maintenance and irrigation. This experience will prove invaluable for the ongoing care of our new eco-friendly spaces, ensuring they stay as lush and vibrant as the day they’re completed. Innovative Irrigation Solutions for Long-Term Water Savings Aiming to conserve water while maintaining a healthy landscape, our team has chosen to modify and repair the existing irrigation system rather than replacing it entirely, transitioning it to a drip irrigation system . This adjustment delivers water directly to plant roots, reducing water waste while promoting deeper, more resilient plant growth. A Collaborative Effort in Sustainability and Savings Through smart budgeting, reduced fees, and savvy purchasing, our landscape transformation is shaping up beautifully while respecting every dollar. We’re thrilled to share these updates with the community, showcasing how sustainable design, resourceful planning, and collaborative efforts can produce both stunning results and lasting value. With each step of this project, we are moving toward a landscape that embodies resilience, beauty, and an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship—making a greener, more affordable future possible for all.

A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television.

There are six tastefully furnished rooms, each complete with two queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a great way to keep visitors close to home while letting them enjoy a bit of privacy and the ability to come and go. Garden Plots & Dog Park At the top of the hill, you find the Green Thumb Community Garden where residents can tend personal garden plots for fruit and vegetables or flowers. And among the trees, you’ll see the Grassy Paws dog park where residents can take their dogs to play while the pet parents sit and chat. Beautiful Grounds & Hiking Trails While in Del Mesa Carmel, you may see numerous residents out for walks.

A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television. In the basement, there’s a woodworking shop. And of course, there’s the Front Desk and administrative offices where you’ll get questions answered, reservations taken, and other services. ​ Meeting Rooms in the Clubhouse may be booked for private events with family and friends. Catering is available to help make your event a special one. ​ The Gallery Hallway is used by the Art Association to hang displays of residents' art as well as works by other artists on the Peninsula. A wine reception is usually held so that residents may meet the artist. Art Center From the Clubhouse, follow the road around the bend and downhill to find the Art House—a place where painters and crafters can gather to chat while they work or attend the occasional art class. There are cubby holes available to store personal art supplies for those who don’t want to take them home each day. ​ If you join the Art Association, you’ll find camaraderie, and occasional group trips to museums and places of interest. Guest Units Follow the curving road toward the top of the hill and you’ll pass the Guest Units situated among the trees on the right. There are six tastefully furnished rooms, each complete with two queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a great way to keep visitors close to home while letting them enjoy a bit of privacy and the ability to come and go. Garden Plots & Dog Park At the top of the hill, you find the Green Thumb Community Garden where residents can tend personal garden plots for fruit and vegetables or flowers. And among the trees, you’ll see the Grassy Paws dog park where residents can take their dogs to play while the pet parents sit and chat. Beautiful Grounds & Hiking Trails While in Del Mesa Carmel, you may see numerous residents out for walks. There’s a choice of wandering the landscaped walkways on the flatter mesa terrain or choosing an aerobic walk up the hill among the homes on the forested inclines. For ambitious hikers, there are trails connecting the top of the hill with Jack’s Peak Park to the north and with Roach Canyon Park to the east. ​ Many residents of Del Mesa Carmel enjoy hiking and get together regularly with other residents to either saunter at a snail’s pace or do some serious hiking on nearby trails of the Peninsula, Garland Park, Toro Park, Point Lobos Park, Big Sur and more.

Facilities & Amenities | Del Mesa Carmel FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & COMFORTS Your Tour is one click away Turning off of Carmel Valley Road and approaching Del Mesa Carmel through its tree-lined drive, you realize you’re entering a special world. A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television. In the basement, there’s a woodworking shop. And of course, there’s the Front Desk and administrative offices where you’ll get questions answered, reservations taken, and other services. ​ Meeting Rooms in the Clubhouse may be booked for private events with family and friends. Catering is available to help make your event a special one. ​ The Gallery Hallway is used by the Art Association to hang displays of residents' art as well as works by other artists on the Peninsula. A wine reception is usually held so that residents may meet the artist. Art Center From the Clubhouse, follow the road around the bend and downhill to find the Art House—a place where painters and crafters can gather to chat while they work or attend the occasional art class. There are cubby holes available to store personal art supplies for those who don’t want to take them home each day. ​ If you join the Art Association, you’ll find camaraderie, and occasional group trips to museums and places of interest. Guest Units Follow the curving road toward the top of the hill and you’ll pass the Guest Units situated among the trees on the right. There are six tastefully furnished rooms, each complete with two queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a great way to keep visitors close to home while letting them enjoy a bit of privacy and the ability to come and go. Garden Plots & Dog Park At the top of the hill, you find the Green Thumb Community Garden where residents can tend personal garden plots for fruit and vegetables or flowers. And among the trees, you’ll see the Grassy Paws dog park where residents can take their dogs to play while the pet parents sit and chat. Beautiful Grounds & Hiking Trails While in Del Mesa Carmel, you may see numerous residents out for walks. There’s a choice of wandering the landscaped walkways on the flatter mesa terrain or choosing an aerobic walk up the hill among the homes on the forested inclines. For ambitious hikers, there are trails connecting the top of the hill with Jack’s Peak Park to the north and with Roach Canyon Park to the east. ​ Many residents of Del Mesa Carmel enjoy hiking and get together regularly with other residents to either saunter at a snail’s pace or do some serious hiking on nearby trails of the Peninsula, Garland Park, Toro Park, Point Lobos Park, Big Sur and more.

GO BACK About Del Mesa | Del Mesa Carmel ABOUT THE COMMUNITY Del Mesa Carmel (DMC) was planned and developed in 1967 by founders who envisioned a premier retirement community for active adults. Our location on a hillside above the Carmel River Valley and just east of Carmel-by-the-Sea provides a unique blend of sunshine from the valley and cooling sea breezes from the ocean for our 289 condominium homes. In keeping with the vision of an active adult community, DMC offers its residents a superior level of home and landscape maintenance services. This allows residents to be homeowners and yet have plenty of time for their favorite sports, fitness, travel and social activities. An on-site restaurant provides dine in and take out options, but DMC does not offer any kind of assisted-living services. Del Mesa Carmel Community Association, Inc., is incorporated in as a Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation under the laws of the State of California. Its Board of Directors has responsibility for shepherding the Association and governing DMC according to the Declarations (CC&Rs), Bylaws, and Ground Rules. Piano & Composition by Emi Saeki Wada The Board employs a General Manager to manage DMC's employees and oversee daily operations. The Board works with the accounting staff and General Manager in preparing yearly budgets, managing expenditures, reviewing bids and contracts, and keeping a close eye on finances. The Board and GM are responsible for watching condominium industry trends and evaluating new laws that could require changes thus ensuring our compliance and avoiding liabilities.

Show More GO BACK Facilities & Amenities | Del Mesa Carmel FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & COMFORTS Your Tour is one click away Turning off of Carmel Valley Road and approaching Del Mesa Carmel through its tree-lined drive, you realize you’re entering a special world. A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television. In the basement, there’s a woodworking shop. And of course, there’s the Front Desk and administrative offices where you’ll get questions answered, reservations taken, and other services. ​ Meeting Rooms in the Clubhouse may be booked for private events with family and friends. Catering is available to help make your event a special one. ​ The Gallery Hallway is used by the Art Association to hang displays of residents' art as well as works by other artists on the Peninsula. A wine reception is usually held so that residents may meet the artist. Art Center From the Clubhouse, follow the road around the bend and downhill to find the Art House—a place where painters and crafters can gather to chat while they work or attend the occasional art class. There are cubby holes available to store personal art supplies for those who don’t want to take them home each day. ​ If you join the Art Association, you’ll find camaraderie, and occasional group trips to museums and places of interest. Guest Units Follow the curving road toward the top of the hill and you’ll pass the Guest Units situated among the trees on the right. There are six tastefully furnished rooms, each complete with two queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a great way to keep visitors close to home while letting them enjoy a bit of privacy and the ability to come and go. Garden Plots & Dog Park At the top of the hill, you find the Green Thumb Community Garden where residents can tend personal garden plots for fruit and vegetables or flowers. And among the trees, you’ll see the Grassy Paws dog park where residents can take their dogs to play while the pet parents sit and chat. Beautiful Grounds & Hiking Trails While in Del Mesa Carmel, you may see numerous residents out for walks. There’s a choice of wandering the landscaped walkways on the flatter mesa terrain or choosing an aerobic walk up the hill among the homes on the forested inclines. For ambitious hikers, there are trails connecting the top of the hill with Jack’s Peak Park to the north and with Roach Canyon Park to the east. ​ Many residents of Del Mesa Carmel enjoy hiking and get together regularly with other residents to either saunter at a snail’s pace or do some serious hiking on nearby trails of the Peninsula, Garland Park, Toro Park, Point Lobos Park, Big Sur and more.

About Del Mesa | Del Mesa Carmel ABOUT THE COMMUNITY Del Mesa Carmel (DMC) was planned and developed in 1967 by founders who envisioned a premier retirement community for active adults. Our location on a hillside above the Carmel River Valley and just east of Carmel-by-the-Sea provides a unique blend of sunshine from the valley and cooling sea breezes from the ocean for our 289 condominium homes. In keeping with the vision of an active adult community, DMC offers its residents a superior level of home and landscape maintenance services. This allows residents to be homeowners and yet have plenty of time for their favorite sports, fitness, travel and social activities. An on-site restaurant provides dine in and take out options, but DMC does not offer any kind of assisted-living services. Del Mesa Carmel Community Association, Inc., is incorporated in as a Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation under the laws of the State of California. Its Board of Directors has responsibility for shepherding the Association and governing DMC according to the Declarations (CC&Rs), Bylaws, and Ground Rules. Piano & Composition by Emi Saeki Wada The Board employs a General Manager to manage DMC's employees and oversee daily operations. The Board works with the accounting staff and General Manager in preparing yearly budgets, managing expenditures, reviewing bids and contracts, and keeping a close eye on finances. The Board and GM are responsible for watching condominium industry trends and evaluating new laws that could require changes thus ensuring our compliance and avoiding liabilities.

DOWNLOAD CLUBHOUSE MAP GO BACK Facilities & Amenities | Del Mesa Carmel FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & COMFORTS Your Tour is one click away Turning off of Carmel Valley Road and approaching Del Mesa Carmel through its tree-lined drive, you realize you’re entering a special world. A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television. In the basement, there’s a woodworking shop. And of course, there’s the Front Desk and administrative offices where you’ll get questions answered, reservations taken, and other services. ​ Meeting Rooms in the Clubhouse may be booked for private events with family and friends. Catering is available to help make your event a special one. ​ The Gallery Hallway is used by the Art Association to hang displays of residents' art as well as works by other artists on the Peninsula. A wine reception is usually held so that residents may meet the artist. Art Center From the Clubhouse, follow the road around the bend and downhill to find the Art House—a place where painters and crafters can gather to chat while they work or attend the occasional art class. There are cubby holes available to store personal art supplies for those who don’t want to take them home each day. ​ If you join the Art Association, you’ll find camaraderie, and occasional group trips to museums and places of interest.

A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television. In the basement, there’s a woodworking shop. And of course, there’s the Front Desk and administrative offices where you’ll get questions answered, reservations taken, and other services. ​ Meeting Rooms in the Clubhouse may be booked for private events with family and friends. Catering is available to help make your event a special one. ​ The Gallery Hallway is used by the Art Association to hang displays of residents' art as well as works by other artists on the Peninsula. A wine reception is usually held so that residents may meet the artist. Art Center From the Clubhouse, follow the road around the bend and downhill to find the Art House—a place where painters and crafters can gather to chat while they work or attend the occasional art class. There are cubby holes available to store personal art supplies for those who don’t want to take them home each day. ​ If you join the Art Association, you’ll find camaraderie, and occasional group trips to museums and places of interest. Guest Units Follow the curving road toward the top of the hill and you’ll pass the Guest Units situated among the trees on the right. There are six tastefully furnished rooms, each complete with two queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a great way to keep visitors close to home while letting them enjoy a bit of privacy and the ability to come and go. Garden Plots & Dog Park At the top of the hill, you find the Green Thumb Community Garden where residents can tend personal garden plots for fruit and vegetables or flowers. And among the trees, you’ll see the Grassy Paws dog park where residents can take their dogs to play while the pet parents sit and chat. Beautiful Grounds & Hiking Trails While in Del Mesa Carmel, you may see numerous residents out for walks. There’s a choice of wandering the landscaped walkways on the flatter mesa terrain or choosing an aerobic walk up the hill among the homes on the forested inclines. For ambitious hikers, there are trails connecting the top of the hill with Jack’s Peak Park to the north and with Roach Canyon Park to the east. ​ Many residents of Del Mesa Carmel enjoy hiking and get together regularly with other residents to either saunter at a snail’s pace or do some serious hiking on nearby trails of the Peninsula, Garland Park, Toro Park, Point Lobos Park, Big Sur and more.

A stop at the guarded security gate gives you the feeling of safety—and you know this is a community that cares about residents’ well-being. Continue up the driveway . . . Amenities for Fitness & Pleasure Coming to the top of the entry drive, you emerge onto the mesa. On your right, you’ll see the Clubhouse and on the left, you’ll see the Fitness Center with its indoor pool and spa, as well as a room full of exercise equipment. A full-sized lawn bowling green is next to the Fitness Center where residents meet three times a week for friendly games or a bit of practice. New players are welcomed with open arms and there’s no expectation that they need to become experts in the game. Camaraderie is key and some residents come just to socialize after games are finished. ​ A putting green rounds out the area that allows many residents that are avid golfers to sharpen their skills at home before going out to play on one of the Peninsula’s many courses. ​ Group exercise classes are held in the large Redwood Room of the Clubhouse on a weekly basis. Clubhouse & Restaurant Across the road from the bowling green is a generously sized Clubhouse that is the heart of so many Del Mesa social gatherings, events and activities. Here you’ll find Woody's at Del Mesa restaurant , as well as meeting rooms that double as card and game rooms, a library with a kitchenette included for gatherings, and a large game room with a pool table and large screen HD television.

And of course, there’s the Front Desk and administrative offices where you’ll get questions answered, reservations taken, and other services. ​ Meeting Rooms in the Clubhouse may be booked for private events with family and friends.

A wine reception is usually held so that residents may meet the artist. Art Center From the Clubhouse, follow the road around the bend and downhill to find the Art House—a place where painters and crafters can gather to chat while they work or attend the occasional art class.

Guest Units Follow the curving road toward the top of the hill and you’ll pass the Guest Units situated among the trees on the right. There are six tastefully furnished rooms, each complete with two queen beds, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron/ironing board and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a great way to keep visitors close to home while letting them enjoy a bit of privacy and the ability to come and go. Garden Plots & Dog Park At the top of the hill, you find the Green Thumb Community Garden where residents can tend personal garden plots for fruit and vegetables or flowers. And among the trees, you’ll see the Grassy Paws dog park where residents can take their dogs to play while the pet parents sit and chat.
