| June General Meeting Thursday, June 4, 2009, 8:00 p.m. RCA Executive Board Elections: In follow-up to last month's call for canditates for the RCA Board, President Matt Tifford thanked all for volunteering their time for RCA positions and named the 2009-2010 slate of candidates:
Waverly-Schuylkill Park Ribbon Cutting May 2 - slideshow  New! Randolph Dog Club In coordination with the Randolph Civic Association, a new dog club group has been created to organize dog activities in the neighborhood and to show interest in and discuss the possibility of a future dog park.
The new group is called "randolphdogclub". You can join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Randolphdogclub/ or by sending a mail to Randolphdogclub-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Please also attend the next Civic Association meeting on June 4th at 8pm, to be held at the Viers Mill Rec Center. Our guest speaker will be Dr. John Hench, Chief of the Parks Planning Division. Dr. Hench will be addressing the community on the possibility of getting a Dog Park and other improvements at Randolph Hills Park. A big show of support at this meeting will go a long way in demonstrating to the Department of Parks that our park is the right place for a new Dog Park. We can't emphasize enough how important it is for the community to show up for this meeting, so please put it on you calendar, and tell everyone you know as well! Other than the obvious benefit of giving our dogs a fun, safe place to play, the park could have many benefits for non dog owners. It will make the neighborhood more attractive to many home buyers, help to develop a sense of community, increase community use of the park and make the park safer for everyone. If any of your neighbors who may not be a member of the Randolph Civic Association email list and have dog(s), please let them know about the new dog club.

Take a look map of RCALand What's Happening in the Waverly-Schuylkill Park?Waverly Schuylkill Planting Plan.pdf What are they going to plant in the Park. The County has begun the Waverly stream restoration project . Construction is expected to take 3-4 months with the goal of finishing everything around March-April 2009. Work will impact the asphalt trail that connects Schuylkill Road to the train station, so a mulch trail will be temporarily installed with safety fencing to minimize access disruptions. Background: If one stands at the Waverly-Schuylkill park sign [at Garrett Park Road entrance, to Beach Drive] and faces East into the park, there are two small streams to your left and right. These steams feed into an underground pipe that flows into Rock Creek. Presently these streams are undercutting or eroding their streambeds. This erosion is not due to increased rainfall, but from the hard concrete surfaces that cause rain runoff to be much stronger and more intense than before there were houses and roads. To the left, a covert underneath the CSX railroad tracks is diverting Garrett Park runoff into the park, increasing the water flow when it rains. The new project has a"step-pool design.". Heavy natural-looking stones will be arranged, to step down the stream into small pools, gradually slowing the water discharge. Additionally, sand will trucked in to stabilize the stream bed, and avoid mass loss. This step-pool design is natural-looking, but one will know its man-made. RCA'ers discovered the stream erosion and brought the problem the attention of the County. Now the County is responding with a natural step-pool design.
