Spring Clean-up – Saturday, April 16, 9am-noon

We need volunteers for a neighborhood trash clean-up. We will meet at the dumpster set up for the day on Drexel Woods Dr. at 9am. Wear sturdy shoes, and long pants, bring gloves. We will canvas the common grounds around the woods and pick up trash.

Hike to the River! Saturday, April 30, 1pm

We are blessed to be adjacent to Patapsco Valley State Park. Now with the advent of a new trail into the park from our common grounds, we have a great opportunity to enjoy all the benefits. Jim Apgar, HOA board member, invites residents to join him in a community hike. Please come spend some time taking in the natural beauty that surrounds our community. Dogs are welcome!

WHERE: Meet at side road entrance just below Shady Hill Ct.
WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: Wear good walking or hiking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. You may also want to bring a bottle of water and a snack.

Get fit for summer

Join your neighbors for weekly hikes in the Patapsco Valley. We’ll explore more areas of the park like Cascade Falls, Buzzard Rock, Avalon and Orange Grove. We’ll also do easy fitness walks along the paved Trolley Trail and Grist Mill Trail that runs along the Patapsco River.
