Event Calendar

Here are some news items and local events that may be of interest.  

Spring 2025:  We are having problems with people riding both electric and gas bikes on the grassed areas in the park.  This can cause damage in the form of tire ruts.  

Please speak to anyone in your household who rides a motorized bike, and ask them to stay off grassed areas in the community.  

Please inform the PCA if you can identify anyone who is damaging our parks.  

Aug 2024:  The basketball court surface was repaired and sealed.  The asphalt path through the park was repaired.  

Oct 2023:  Additional wood chips were added to the playground.  We use an "engineered wood fiber" product that provides a safer play surface than regular wood chips.

June 2023:  The rebound box was repainted on the second basketball goal.  The soccer goal nets were replaced.  

Apr 2023:  A soft-wash contractor was hired to clean the tennis courts, pavilion floor, and pavilion metal structure.  

October 2022:  The white rebound box was re-painted on one of the basketball backboards.  The second one will be done in the spring.  

May 2021:  The vandalized lock on the tennis court gate has been repaired.  Please contact the PCA to request addition to the tennis court access list.  Access is restricted to PCA residents and their guests.  The courts are to be used for tennis and pickleball only.  

October 2020:  The two basketball goals in Club View Park were replaced.  The new goals are regulation in size and design, except for having Plexiglass instead of glass backboards.  They seem to be a popular addition to the park, and the number of players has increased.  Open the file in the section below to see the goal replacement process.  

Oct 2019:  New Drain, Grading, and Field Repair:  A drain has been installed to prevent storm water from entering the tennis court. Soil has been added along the walking path so there are no longer any steep drop-offs.   Field damage from the tennis court upgrades has been repaired, but the grass is not yet well established.  

Tennis Court Renovation:  Renovations to our two tennis courts in Club View Park were started in the fall of 2018 when a stone dust overlay was applied, and new layers of asphalt were laid down.  Wet weather delayed the completion of the repairs until spring, but the courts were completed in July 2019.  One of the courts contains additional lines for playing pickleball, a newer game that uses a smaller court and a different racket and ball.  Contact the PCA to obtain the access code for the court gate.  

Here are answers to frequently asked questions 

1. Can I rent Club View Park?  The park pavilion can be used at no cost for activities such as family gatherings, but a reservation request must be filed with the PCA (see the Forms & Files Page).  For group and team use of the playing field, a $20 fee is charged for two hours of use.  
2. What is the status of the tennis courts?  An extensive renovation of the two tennis courts was completed in July 2019.  The courts are available for use by PCA residents and their guests.  Contact the PCA to obtain the gate code.  
3. Can my team or group use the Club View Park playing field?  Team or group use of the playing field requires a permit from the PCA, and payment of the $20 usage fee.  
4. Does Club View Park have a searchable address?   Yes, the park can be found in mapping services using 24110 Club View Drive, 20882.

 Mike Tidwell, nationally acclaimed author, and founder of the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, will talk about his new book, “The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue: A Story of Climate and Hope on One American Street”.  He’ll explore how climate change is affecting local communities such as Takoma Park in Montgomery County, MD – and how residents are fighting against it.  Attendees can purchase Tidwell’s book in our gift shop and have it signed after the talk! 

Join Tidwell as he shares insights from his latest book that explores the growing impacts of climate change on his one urban block in Takoma Park, Maryland. A love letter to the magnificent oaks and other trees dying from record heat waves and bizarre rain, Tidwell’s story depicts the neighborhood’s battle to save the trees and combat climate change.
