A Park
By the community
For the community
Winter Camp Park is for all Woods Residents to use. NO MEMBERSHIPS, NO FEES.
However, donations are needed to maintain and improve the Park.
​
It is privately owned by a group of Woods homeowners, and is not associated with The Woods Homeowners Association (WHOA) nor Potomac Valley Properties (PVP).

Be a Friend of Winter Camp Park!
Get your 2026 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, and addition of concrete under Pavilion 1 and in front of Restroom, and asphalt path between them and handicap parking spots by the pavilion!
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.

Concrete Pads & Asphalt Path & Parking Spots Added
Contributions In Action
The very generous contributions from neighbors, companies and partners have allowed park enhancements in 2025! We have laid the concrete under the large pavilion, in front of the restrooms, and 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. Country Line Dancing classes were the first to use it for this in September.
​
Also, as we are continuing to improve our park's accessibility for all community members, we have added an asphalt path between the restrooms and the large pavilion, and two asphalt handicap parking spaces suitable for wheelchairs - thanks to a partner investment. Painting and signs still need to be added, but these have been very welcome improvements to the park.​​
Winter Camp Park 10th Anniversary
Labor Day Music Festival
​
Lots of neighbors and friends gathered at the park on August 30th to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Winter Camp Park, with food, music, and camaraderie. The weather was perfect and our own Winter Camp Park Band, and the Lana Spence Band were both fantastic.
As a thank you from his companies (Fairway Homes/ Artisan Kitchens) to the community, Marty Johnson (WCP Partner) provided not only the food and the bands but also purchased, installed and donated a white banquet tent for the festival. When requested, this tent can be erected for special events adjacent to pavilion #1.
