Thank you all 40 of you and your kids that attended this great event! All enjoyed all kinds of cream and our new beautiful sandy beach and gorgeous gardens!
New Ramp Keys
Please reach out to Robin to purchase a new ramp key for $25. You can also mail a check to the SRPCA PO Box 835, Edgewater, MD 21037 and we will bring the key to you. The fire department has a key to the ramp- they need access here to launch their boat during emergencies. Please keep this area clear to save a life.
Mosquito Truck Summer 2025
We signed up and got approval for the for "Nighttime ULV fogging for adult mosquito program," with Anne Arundel County again!! The fogger truck sprayed our community in June and July but not August due to severe storms.
Neighbors Volunteering to Keep SRPCA Space Beautiful!
Big thanks to Paul Van Cleef for mowing the Long Pier, Ingall's Beach and Clubhouse grounds. Also big thanks to Todd Pounds for mowing the triangle park on Riverside Road which overlooks the boat ramp.
Our VMP phase1 at Ingalls Beach on the beach hillside is completed and approved! Please see planting plan and before and after photos in this file:
South River Park residents enjoy getting together at various social events and volunteer efforts. Events discussed include a "Coffee Walk," a Fishing Derby, BBQs, and sharing gifts with Firehouse Santa. Thank you for supporting your neighborhood.
We have signed up for water testing with Arundel Rivers ($500) and Anne Arundel Health Dept. (free).
Water quality samples are collected once a week by Arundel Rivers and sent to the lab to grow cultures again this year. AAC Health Dept tests bi-weekly unless there is a storm. Overall, on average for the 2024 summer season, the water quality results were very good. Results for 2025 are varied. There is a big difference in AA Health Department data which typically finds creek water quality to be well below 104, and the Arundel Rivers Federation data presenting significant outliers, which could be due to the presence of water fowl near the collection site, collecting water within 48 hours of a storm, or using young volunteers vs ARF staff. The Health Department's mission is protecting public health, and their professional staff with sterile equipment collect samples per EPA protocols and transfer samples to their lab in Baltimore. Please see data in chart below:
