Maynard Pond is managed by members of the Maynard Pond Association, Inc., a non-profit organization that purchased the property to preserve the pond and natural surroundings for long term neighborhood enjoyment. The Association’s financial commitments are for maintenance of dam and spillway integrity, erosion control, liability insurance, mowing, and landscaping. Supporters of Maynard Pond do not have to live within the Coronado Village neighborhood.

Maynard Pond is a spring-fed headwater of Walnut Creek which flows through Raleigh. The spring is located behind the property parcel at 503 Ralph Drive. The pond has served to water livestock and irrigate crops. It has served as a recreation area and a storm water detention facility for many years. Now such resources are being referred to as “open spaces.” We understand their value in today’s higher-density living areas and see the importance of making the effort to preserve them before they are lost.

Maynard Pond is designated as a passive stormwater detention facility for Central Cary with a one million gallon capacity!
