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.
