Thanks to Brian for this very informative comment, I thought it deserved its own post.”Crozet Park was donated to the community some 40 or so years ago. I can get the exact date…. We don’t have the resources to take care of things like baseball and soccer fields, and the county needed these recreational resources for it’s citizens in the Crozet area…. They supply and take care of all of the fields for the recreational programs, and we have the decision rights over what we want to have at the Park…. This includes groups like Peach Tree, The Fire Department, The Lions Club, and we also have at large members, those that aren’t attached to an organization, but have an interest in how Crozet Park is run.We meet the first Wednesday of every month to discuss the Park’s issues, and we’re always looking for new members.
Single-sex education in Crozet
From The HooK today, referencing the new Field School, a single-sex school (of which I am a huge advocate, as I graduated from the former all-male Virginia Military Institute) – Barnett says he’s close to finalizing the school’s initial location, which will likely be in the Claudius Crozet Park community center in Crozet.  He proudly shows architectural renderings of the space, which will feature flexible classrooms with moveable walls and a large central common area.  The school is accepting applications for the fall for 16 spots in each the fifth and sixth grades….  A shuttle will take students from Charlottesville to and from school each day.The question of the day – what will be the impact on Claudius Crozet Park?

Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival
The bi-annual event continues!
Have a spare soccer field?
The girls’ team I coach is in need of a field – the offerings in Western Albemarle seem to have become more sparse and the competition more intense. Anybody know of a spare soccer field – or even an open, level field that we could use?

Sounds of Crozet
I’ve never been fond of swimming as a competitive sport – turning into a raisin is typically something I avoid. That and the early-morning practices, the cold water and the general “wet-ness.” However, I truly enjoy the sounds of a swim meet from my back patio. The cheering, the announcer over the loudspeaker, the “beep” starting the racers, the sounds of community and competition. “Heat Two!”If I wasn’t working and catching up on work this evening, I’d walk on over to cheer some of my neighbors’ kids. Crozet still does have that small-town feel. The occasional giggle making it way through the “Even 56, Girls 11-12, 50 metre backstroke, Heat 1!”Ah, summer in Crozet.
