2025 Projects
Update! Concrete Pads & Asphalt Path
It has happened! Although we have not raised all the money needed to pay for it yet, we have laid the concrete under the large pavilion, in front of the restrooms, and a large pad behind the pavilion. This should enhance the use of the Pavilion – even allow for dancing! This was partially funded by a donation from Frances Compton to honor her late husband, Will, who loved to dance and loved Winter Camp Park. Please keep those contributions coming ​!
​
Upcoming Project. We are continuing to improve our park's accessibility for all community members. Next up -- thanks to a partner investment, we are paving two handicap parking spaces and a path to connect the main pavilion with the restrooms. Coming soon!
Future Park Enhancements
We appreciate the feedback we got from many neighbors at the WHOA Community Event, regarding the possibility of building a Community Center. The Partners still want to hear from you! What do you want to see in our park's future? If you were not able to stop by, you can still give us your thoughts by sending it via our Contact page, or talking with one of the Park's partners who can be found on the Supporters page.

Be a Friend of Winter Camp Park!
Get your 2025 decal! We are happy to have you join, or renew your participation in the Friends of Winter Camp Park program for 2025. The initial major projects were funded by contributions from the twelve homeowner partners, including the purchase of the land, construction of two large pavilions, event stage, parking, and significant excavation and grading to mediate water flow.
​
Contributions by other homeowners helped purchase picnic tables and property maintenance and enhancement. Incredible contributions from neighbors and Corporate Friends, funded the construction of the spectacular restroom facility!
Continued support is needed from the community to accomplish other projects and to pay for annual recurring expenses of over $17,000 (insurance, taxes, accounting, electric and water, grass cutting, computer services, and to keep this area FREE FOR ALL.
​
So, join the Friends of the Park program to support this goal.

Fun on Independence Day!
A wonderful group of neighbors and their friends and families celebrated the 4th of July at Winter Camp Park. Over 80 people enjoyed food, drinks, games (corn hole, giant jenga, ladder golf, badminton and horseshoes), patriotic music, conversations, laughter, a little dancing and even a impromptu song and dance performances from many children on the stage. This is what the park is all about - community! Check out a few of the pictures to remember the fun, or to see what you missed.
