INFORMATION ITEMS:

1.  POOL PASS DISTRIBUTION.  Now occurs individually with the Pool Chair – please contact the Pool Committee email address for specifics.  See the board packets and pool section of our website for current information on residences with passes available for pickup.

2.  PLAYGROUND WORK, MONDAY, JULY 18, 2022 THROUGH FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2022.  We will start the delayed replacement of the edge walls surrounding the playground on Monday.  The edge wall installation is planned for two weeks.  Following the edge wall installation a certified safety surface of loose fill engineered wood fiber will be blown in over the existing rubber mulch.  Please do not use the playground (or basketball court) during this timeframe.  See the monthly meeting minutes for further information.

3.  BASKETBALL COURT CLOSURE, MONDAY, JULY 18, 2022 THROUGH FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2022.   The basketball court will be closed for the duration of the playground project.

6.  REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEER TO LEAD NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, AUGUST 2, 2022.  We do not currently have a volunteer to lead any type of National Night Out activity this year.  This event is relatively simple to lead.  We need a volunteer no later than July 20th to place our name in the request list for fire and police equipment to stop by the pool parking lot during the activity window.  It’s been a fun event for our children in years past – please consider volunteering.

7.  REQUEST FOR BLOCK CAPTAIN.  One of our long-serving Block Captains has retired and moved out of the area.  The lower Carriagepark Road (4800-even addresses) is currently without a Block Captain.  If you live in one of these residences (4800 through 4870 Carriagepark Road) please consider submitting your name forward to the Hospitality Committee at hospitality@parkwestcommunity.org.

8.  STREET LIGHTS.  All street lights are operational.  Reminder – we don’t always know when street lights malfunction so please let the Streets and Sidewalks Committee at streets@parkwestcommunity.org know if you notice something.  Street light status may also be found in the board packets.

9.  POOL INFORMATION.  We are allowing residents to reserve portions of the pool deck during this season.  Please contact the Pool Committee for assistance regarding scheduling and cost.  There is no gas grill available for use this season – please do not plan to utilize one during your pool visits.  


Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

7.  COMMUNITY SECURITY.  Alright – leaving this here again due to several reports of odd activities in the community over the last week.  If out-of-the-ordinary events occur and you are concerned for your safety or security please notify the Police non-emergency number (703) 691-2131 to report the occurrence.  While we advertise a Neighborhood Watch on our signs there has been a lack of interest in the past to actually set one up.  If you are interested in participating please let me know.  If we have sufficient interest we will restart the process with the County but not before I see sufficient volunteers to make the effort worthwhile.  As always, please consider leaving your porch lights on throughout the night, remember to lock your vehicle doors, and notify the non-emergency number should you experience some kind of security event in the future.

8.  STREET LIGHTS.  For those on upper Carriagepark Road.  The street light near 4948 (L13) is currently removed as the concrete pole had broken below the ground.  We have a new pole on order for replacement as soon as possible for you.  For everyone – we don’t always notice when street lights out malfunctioning so please let the Streets and Sidewalks Committee at  streets@parkwestcommunity.org know if you notice something I haven’t spoken about.  Street light status may also be found in the board packets.

9.  PLAYGROUND WORK, DELAYED WORK START DATE.  The planned start date is undetermined due to crew availability.  More information to follow.  For those who patronize the playground – we will be undertaking replacement of the edge walls.   You can expect up to two weeks of playground closure during this project.  Once the edge walls are replaced we will install a certified safety surface of loose fill engineered wood fiber.  Please do not use the playground during this timeframe.  See the monthly meeting minutes for further information.
