The Foundation for Centerville-Washington Parks (FCWP) is working with the Centerville-Washington Park District (CWPD) to improve the pickleball courts at Activity Center Park! CWPD plans to resurface six courts and add two more courts! Construction on the project is expected to begin in the fall of 2026.
To help create an even better experience for players and spectators, FCWP is raising $50,000 to help fund permanent shade, additional seating and rebounder enhancements at the new courts.
Be part of this exciting community project and make your mark on this popular park amenity!
