Quickstart Tennis at Crozet Park
via Press Release:
QCV is pleased to announce it is partnering with Claudius Crozet Park in Crozet, VA to reintroduce tennis to the 50-year-old park and provide three permanent QuickStart Tennis courts for kids in western Albemarle County and two regulation courts for players of all ages. Both organizations are 501(c)(3) nonprofits with histories of productive collaborations, community outreach and tangible, goal-oriented results.
Lynda Harrill, QCV Founder, says, “Kids need kid-sized courts to play on. Permanent 36-foot courts make it possible for kids to jump on a court and play any time they want. Spontaneous play is a big part of the USTA’s Competency Progression for kids and an integral part of the “Tennis Pathway” we are building in our community. Last summer QCV found out the Crozet Park Board wanted to reinstate their tennis courts and persuaded them to include QuickStart Tennis in their plans.

I’ll say this – making a left turn from Library Avenue onto 240 is going to be a challenge. Continue reading “Library Avenue is Open”

I have to tell you, the Crozet Trails Crew t-shirts are pretty sweet.
We will be having a Crozet Trails Day planning kick-off meeting on Thursday, June 30th (6:30-8:00pm) at the Crozet Mudhouse. We will be talking about what needs to be done to prepare for this years CTDay, which will be held on October 15th (Saturday). We are going to need a lot of help so that the tasks are spread out over many helping hands. Please try to attend–this is a great way to volunteer with the CTC (and earn a T-shirt) if you haven’t been able to participate in the weekend workdays.
Jarman’s Gap Road is Changing
There are fewer trees on Jarman’s Gap Road as the widening begins.
I’ve been biking to and from Old Trail quite a bit recently – showing houses, physical therapy on my busted-up-ankle, looking at new construction … I’m really looking forward to the bike lanes.
Gateway Market BBQ
You know you’ve wondered as you’ve driven by the Gateway Market BBQ at the corner of 24 and 250 … It’s good bbq. $4.99 ($5.49 with tax) for a generous BBQ sandwich on a white bun with slaw.
The owners couldn’t be friendlier, either.

Congratulations, WAHS!
