Two new Level II electric vehicle (EV) charging stations have been installed at Centerville-Washington Park District’s Forest Field and Oak Grove Parks, expanding public access to sustainable transportation infrastructure in the region.
These installations are part of a broader regional initiative led by the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC). In fall 2022, MVRPC invited local governments and organizations to apply to host community-oriented EV chargers. Selected sites would receive full funding for the design, construction, and five years of operation, covered through the Carbon Reduction Program sub-allocated to the Miami Valley Region.
The Centerville-Washington Park District was among the chosen hosts, and the chargers became operational in late April of 2025. The new charging stations support the Park District’s continued efforts to enhance park amenities.
This project is one of several in the region. A total of 24 EV charging stations have been completed across eight other Dayton-area agencies as part of the initiative.
