7.15.2011 - Web Site Update Regarding Login Information
We have received a lot of residents contacting the park regarding their login information to the Residents page. Since giving people individual usernames and passwords was a difficult process with the old site, we've decided to create a generic username and password that everyone can use to access park information.
If you received the old username "username1" and "password1", they no longer work. Nor will your login information for the old website. To get the NEW username and password, talk to Myles in the Clubhouse Office, or use or contact form on this site and we'll email you the information. Also, if you're looking for the parks "Rules and Regulations", it can now be found in the Residents section after you login. We appreciate your patience and cooperation! Please contact us with any questions.

4.30.2011 - Habitat for Humanity Charity Walk
On Saturday, April 30, fourteen intrepid explorers from Chumash Village braved the wilds of the Bob Jones Bike Trail in support of Habitat for Humanity. Confronted with temperatures in high 70's, hoards of bicyclists, joggers, and assorted wild canines, they pressed on; stopping only to view the interactive exhibits along the way and at the refreshment station (sponsered by Chumash). After reaching Avila Beach, many found the strength to return to the start of the hike by foot, while others chose to hop aboard the Avila trolly for the scenic drive back to the parking lot, where wine and musical entertainment awaited. It is rumored that the manager of the park may still be lost on the Bob Jones Trail since he got separated from the main group and was last seen in the vicinity of Woodstone Grill in Avila Village! Please view the photos below of the walk.
