The Sherwood Community Center - Closer to Reality


Ever since there was a City of Fairfax, there has been a vision for a community center. And we are closer to realizing that dream.

Tomorrow night the City Council will hear about the latest plans for the Stacy C. Sherwood Community Center, including an exciting opportunity for a "Legacy for Parks" program where people can donate and support the Community Center as well as our parks, including funding new equipment and operations.

We are blessed to have wonderful parks that children and adults alike can enjoy. With 10 percent of our City set aside as open space and parks, we are committed to balancing the needs of a growing area with the recognition that our community must take time to exercise, relax and enjoy life.

Our new Community Center is a product of dedication and love for the City of Fairfax. From the generous $5 million gift from the Sherwood Family to City staff's tireless commitment to making the center a reality, we now have an opportunity through the "Legacy for Parks" program to continue the tradition and start new ones.

Click here to read the staff report and see new photos of the community center. And make sure to come to the October 13 City Council meeting at 7 p.m. in City Hall or watch it at www.FairfaxVA.gov or on Channel 12.
