Meet Ravenbot!
Ravenbot is a lending library robot who seeks to spread knowledge throughout the great lands of Ravenwood Park!
Take a book and leave a book to power his noble mission. Ravenwood Park gives thanks to the O'Conners for creating this clever addition to our neighborhood.
Update - Unfortunately Ravenbot was tragically hit by a care and has been recycled. There is another lending library on Ravenwood Drive.
GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN RAVENWOOD PARK!
Ravenwood Park is a vibrant community of 256 homes nested in a beautiful, verdant setting in Falls Church, Virginia. Since its establishment in the late 1950s, Ravenwood Park has been an active community whose residents care and are involved in their neighborhood. Block parties and social events, programs that provide important information, organized and impromptu efforts to support and help each other, Neighborhood Watch, charitable activities, and shared commitment to keep the neighborhood and area beautiful - and more - are all hallmarks of a place that is a great one in which to live.
If you live here, we're so glad you do! If you are visiting, welcome and please come again! If you are thinking about coming here, please do and contact us to find out more!
This year will bring new programs to address community members' concerns, new ways for residents to get involved in their community, the annual garden tour when the neighborhood is alive with azaleas, the annual ice cream social on a summer evening, the annual dog walk and charity drive, the ever-popular Oktoberfest, and more. We are also on FaceBook.
Great things are happening in Ravenwood Park! And we'll be all the greater if you are a part of it!

Ready, Set, Beautify!
There are many ways you can help with beautification! Here are just a few:
- Offer to help a neighbor who may not be able to maintain a property, or let a Board member know if you'd like to join a crew of volunteers willing to help.
- Plant a tree.
- Pick up trash and recycling when taking a walk.
- Properly handle doggie deposits.
PLEASE KEEP SIGNS CLEAR!
If you have a stop sign, parking sign, speed limit sign etc. on your property, please make sure that it is clear of branches and cut them away if they obscure it. People can't obey a sign they can't see!
If you see a sign that is obscured, you can notify a Board member or leave a comment here.
