Neighborhood Tips & Reminders
PARK USE
The park is a great place to walk and play with your pets. Please remember to clean up after your pets. Neighborhood children also play at the park and should not have to worry about stepping in your pet’s mess.
GOT PROPANE?
Make sure to clear the path to your tank of debri and leaves. Your propane company will thank you.
LEAVES, LEAVES AND MORE LEAVES
Those dreaded leaves—they keep falling and falling. Try raking or blowing them multiple times throughout the fall/winter seasons to prevent a huge project and burden for yourself in Spring time. Thinking of burning your leaves? Keep yourself and your neighbors safe. Don’t burn near any buildings; don’t use an accelerant; don’t burn when it is windy outside; please call the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department at (301) 884-4709 to let them know when you plan on burning. Because embers are typically burnt leaves and thus small and lightweight, they can easily become airborne. During a large fire, with the right conditions, embers can be blown far ahead of the fire front, starting spot fires several miles away. Please use caution!
JOIN THE BOARD – or just attend a meeting!
Monthly HOA meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. Our next meeting is Tuesday, Dec 11th at 6pm at Christ Church Parish Hall on Zach Fowler Rd. Please consider attending a future HOA meeting. It truly is the best way to make a difference in your community.
