Woodhaven Recreation

Welcome to the Department of Parks and Recreation 

 “Celebrating 30 Years of Recreation” 

 The Department of Parks & Recreation’s main responsibility is to provide recreational opportunities for all our residents!  Enrichment and leisure classes provide our community ways to improve and maintain a healthier and more active lifestyle.  Maintaining our current 197 acres of parkland along with improving our Community Center is the goal of all our staff members.

 Join us any evening of the week for a variety of classes.  Everything from children’s gymnastics, Yoga, Tai Chi, Self Defense, Aquacise, Pilates and Zumba, a latin dance experience.  During daytime hours you will find tot classes, aerobics, Fitness for 55+ and much more.

 Our center is also the home of the Woodhaven Senior Citizen’s Organization.  We provide travel and leisure opportunities specifically tailored to the needs of our senior population.  We provide transportation with two vehicles, a 23 passenger bus and a specialty van with wheelchair lifts for essential errands such as doctor’s appointments and grocery shopping.

 Special events for the residents are also planned through our Department.  Breakfast with the Easter Bunny, Daddy/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Event, Hallohaven, Supper with Santa and our Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony are the highlights.

 Every year, we strive to expand our services and recreational opportunities for our residents!
