Central Park in Woodacre In 2015, the Community Center was presented with the opportunity to become the owner of a parcel of land in Woodacre. A generous foundation offered to purchase the lot and set up payments for the long term to cover proper- ty taxes and insurance. It is intended to be a “pocket park” for the enjoyment of Valley residents. We are in the process of installing signage, landscaping, tables, benches, etc., and are maintaining the property. It is envisioned as a place to sit in the shade and read a book or meet your neighbors for a game of chess. We welcome the community to come to the park and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
