CCVCA is closely monitoring the GMU-Washington Freedom Cricket Stadium as it develops (click on photo to enlarge for better view). Please click here for resource links. Stay tuned for updates as well as potential opportunities for members to share their thoughts on this project. Feedback from the community will help determine what positions on the stadium will best serve the needs of Country Club View and surrounding neighborhoods.
Dr. Gregory Washington, GMU President, will be the guest speaker at the CCVCA General Membership Meeting on April 25! Please submit your questions or proposed topics to CCVCAFx@gmail.com or any CCVCA Board Member.
Guest speaker Dr. Gregory Washington, GMU President, will join us to discuss issues impacting our larger community, including development of GMU’s West Campus. Good communication is the heart of neighborliness, and Dr. Washington’s visit is an opportunity for CCV neighbors to communicate our hopes and expectations to the head of our university neighbor.
CCVCA 2024 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Every Address a Success!
Letter to CCV Neighbors from CCVCA President Marc Tang
Dear Neighbor,
As we reflect on this past year it is wonderful to see our community continue to shine. A recent Neighborhood Scout report describes Country Club View as a “combination of top public schools, low crime rates, and owner-occupied single-family homes giving this area the look and feel of a ‘Leave it to Beaver’ episode.” It also notes that “demand for real estate in Country Club View is above average for the U.S.” What the report doesn’t fully recognize is that we also have a thriving community of wonderful and engaged neighbors.
In 2023 our Country Club View Civic Association (CCVCA) membership included 242 (of 470+ total) households — our goal is to reach even higher neighbor participation this year! We invite all of you to renew your membership or join anew by selecting Join/Renew from the menu bar to securely complete your application online.

The Country Club of Fairfax’s fireworks display will begin around 9:00 pm on Saturday, July 1. CCV neighbors often watch from their own homes (if skyline is unobstructed by trees) and others walk up to Ox Road and set up chairs along the sidewalk. For those who drive up, please do not park on Ox Road but instead on a side road (Portsmouth, Marlborough, Ames). Some viewers watch from University Mall and the Salvation Army. FYI: CCV’s close proximity to the fireworks can be overwhelming for people of all ages and pets, so plan accordingly for loud bangs that last about 30+ minutes! Click here for more local events.

Saturday, April 23, 2022
8:00 am – 12:00 pm
If you intend to host a yard sale on Saturday, April 23, please complete the participation form to be included on the CCVCA Yard Sale Map. (Note: You may still host a yard sale if you do not submit this form.) Copies of the map will be made available at CCV neighborhood entrance signs that morning. The CCVCA Yard Sale Map will not show any identifying information — simply a “pin” at each participating address. Please submit the form by Wednesday, April 20, to appear as a destination on the map.
On April 23, 2022, the CCV Stream Cleanup will be held from 10:00 am – 11:00 am. Celebrate Earth Day by showing some love for our local stream, Sideburn branch of Pohick Creek! Please join us in reducing the amount of trash in the Country Club View Park stream to prevent it from continuing downstream! Last year there were basketballs, tennis balls, tubing, and even rusty chairs uncovered from the muck and brought out to be collected by the Park Authority. This is a great opportunity for students to earn service hours.
Two locations to meet: CCV Park by the tennis courts or the park entrance off of Grinnell Street. Dress appropriately for being in the woods and around the creek–wear gloves, long pants, and shoes that can get muddy. CCVCA will provide trash bags for volunteers and treats to enjoy after the cleanup.
The Country Club View Women’s Club is collecting hats and mittens/gloves for students age 5-12. These will be distributed to needy students at Oak View and Laurel Ridge Elementary Schools after Thanksgiving. If you would like to make a donation of new or gently used items, please Contact Us with “Women’s Club Clothing Donation” in the subject line. We would love to have you join our project to support our community.
Cub Scout Pack 1865 is chartered by the Country Club View Civic Association. As Scouts, we know we’re fortunate to have a warm meal every night, whether around the campfire or at the kitchen table. Not everyone is so lucky and that’s the motivation behind our annual food collection drive Scouting for Food. On Saturday, November 13, we’ll be out in the neighborhood to pick up the bags you set out to support this worthy cause. Items provided are appreciated and no donation is too small. Thank you for your support!
Come to the CCV Park from 4:00-6:00 pm and enjoy the Spooky Trail and games!
Around 4:30 pm there will be a costume parade on the basketball court.
