Ranch House
As a center point in the community, the Ranch House not only serves as a “community sales office” like it has in the past, but offers better designed and quality space for residents. The fitness room offers a wide selection of equipment and machines and recently has been opened up to allow for more equipment, including free weights and floor exercise space which residents have been asking to be added. In the recent renovation, now available for residents is a meeting room/flex space which can be reserved along with a demonstration kitchen.
Outside of the Ranch House, you’ll find a Jr. Olympic pool and splash area for kids along with numerous tennis courts. For less active options, the Ranch House features a large patio with fireplace and seating to compliment the grills and open space for neighborhood or family gatherings.

Parks, Trails & Playgrounds
We've planned some unique open space features for Northtree. A lot of them, in fact. With four neighborhood parks, the community park between the school and Ranch House, and a network of open space corridors called pasillos, every home will be within a block or two of a park, trail or open space. Here are a few highlights:
Pioneer Park
Talk about a gracious way to greet residents and visitors … Pioneer Park is located at the main entry to Northtree. Once the native grasses mature here, they'll remind you of the long, waving grasses of the western plains. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the trails here. Or just the fact that you can.Founders Walk – Northtree is commemorated with the "founders" - the first residents of Banning Lewis Ranch - by having their names included in this walkway which meanders along Northtree's west side.
Northtree Park
The "Central Park" for this village. It is adjacent to the Northtree Ranch House Recreation & Information Center and adds to the outdoor play space for the public K-8 charter school, Banning Lewis Ranch Academy. It contains soccer and baseball fields, providing space for neighborhood sporting events as well. It's also got free WiFi access, so you can surf the web with a little sun on your shoulders.
Fit & Fun Park
Located in the northern portion of the village, this park features some very cool outdoor exercise structures designed to entertain kids as well as adults...and maybe help them stay in shape, too.
Climbers Park
You can probably guess this park's adventure play challenge. And, yes, it's vertical. Located at the lower end of Northtree, this park will contain a series of rocks specially designed to give climbers of all ages a real thrill that ranges from "easy as pie" to "ai-yi-yi!"
Cottonwood Preserve
This natural green space features a meandering trail that runs along the eastern edge of Northtree, passing through three small grass parks along the way. The Preserve also serves as an attractive buffer between Northtree and the second village (to come) at Banning Lewis Ranch.
