Concrete Pads
2024 Project
Unfortunately we did not raise sufficient funds to add a concrete pad under the large pavilion and add a small one in the front of the Restroom including a walkway which we hoped to do this year. After all the generous contributions for the restroom construction in 2022 and 2023, we understand. Hopefully next year will be better.
This project will begin once we received enough contributions. We appreciate any support you can give towards this effort.

Park Beatification
2024 was a year of maintenance and beautification.
The huge storm in August caused damage at the entrance to the park. Lots of gravel on the driveway washed away and the large culverts under the driveway became completely blocked. These were fixed.
​
Three volunteer projects help with this and with sprucing up the front of the restroom.
​
Zach Uccellini, with the help of his Boy Scout Troop and his dad, built a retaining wall with our surplus blocks as his Eagle Scout project. This made for a small garden by the restroom.
​
Potomac Valley Home Services helped clear the dead trees and stumps in that area, backfilled the wall with dirt, and cleaned some debris in the creek before the culverts.
​
Finally, Alex Uccellini and is fraternity brothers cleared more debris along the full length of the creek. We hope that these efforts will minimize future storm problems.
The Winter Camp Park thanks everyone for their help with these projects! Read more about these in the November Newsletter.

Join the 2024 Friends of Winter Camp Park Program now!
The 2024 decals are in! We are happy to have you join, or renew your participation in the Friends of Winter Camp Park program for 2024. The initial major projects were funded by contributions from the twelve homeowner partners, including the purchase of the land, construction of two large pavilions, event stage, parking, and significant excavation and grading to mediate water flow.
​
Contributions by other homeowners helped purchase picnic tables and property maintenance and enhancement. Incredible contributions from neighbors and Corporate Friends, funded the construction of the spectacular restroom facility!
Continued support is needed from the community to accomplish other projects and to pay for annual recurring expenses of over $12,000 (insurance, taxes, accounting, electric and water, grass cutting, computer services, and to keep this area FREE FOR ALL.
​
So, join the Friends of the Park program to support this goal.
