Pool and Recreation

Landsdowne has many recreation areas.  For specific questions or to provide comments, please us contact us. 

Thank You!

Basketball Court - Do you love shooting hoops?  Join fellow players on our court, located off the walking path on the west side behind Morning Ride Circle.  Courts are open from dawn to dusk every day. 

Community Benches and Walking Path - A 1/2 mile walking path runs the length of Landsdowne through the common area.  Enjoy taking a stroll with fellow residents or with your dogs.  Part of the path adjoins a wooded area.  We often see white tail deer and birds of many different species.  Bluebird houses will be added later this fall.  If you simply wish to "get away" and enjoy being outdoors, please also take time to stop and relax on our many beautiful seating areas located strategically throughout Landsdowne.  And if you want to spend time walking with others, why not start a walking group?

Swimming Pool - Our community pool is located at 8000 Morning View Lane. The season runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Click here for current pool hours and policies  and here for pool rules. Our pool is a competition length 25 meter pool with 5 swimming lanes and shallow and deeper areas for child play. We also have a full wading pool for the kids among us. Our pool is managed by MGN Pools. General opening hours are 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM everyday. Saturday the pool opens at 9:00 AM. For information on pool closures, please call the pool house at (703) 541-5130

The Pool Committee works as the community liaison with the Landsdowne Board and MGN Pools. Pool pass distribution is managed through the Pool committee. You can apply for pool passes here. They also help schedule swimming lessons and other water related activities.  For general questions or information about the pool, please click here to send a message to the Swimming Pool Committee.

  • Event hosts/sponsors are required to send a list of all event attendees to pool@landsdowne.org at least a week prior to their event. The event host is not required to use their 10 punch guest passes with proper sign-in on the guest list sheet. Failure to present a special event sign-in sheet prior to the beginning of an event will require that the sponsor/host use their pool guest punch card.

  • Under no circumstances may non-attendees be prevented from using the pool patio area. If non-attendees are behaving in a disruptive manner, however, hosts can report them to the lifeguards on duty (who may remove them from the area).
