Westchase District is building vibrant gathering places for our community;

WDCF supports those efforts through community fundraising

At a board retreat in 2004, the Westchase District Board of Directors developed a plan to build multiple community gathering places connected by a network of hike and bike trails.

That dream started becoming a reality in 2012 when construction begin on the Library Loop Trail. Now, 15 years later, Westchase District is home to five miles of trails, plus two fully-programmed parks.

The WDCF assisted these efforts by raising money from the local community to build amenities (benches, water fountains, signage) along the trail. We also solicited money from the community for special events at Woodchase Park. And we raised $3.2 million to support the construction of amenities at Camden Park.

WOODCHASE PARK: A PLAN EXECUTED

Woodchase Park features a children’s play area, dog park, water misting feature, community garden, restrooms, fitness space, a 2,700-square-foot multi-purpose pavilion and 7,500-square-foot activity lawn.

Regularly scheduled activities at Woodchase Park include Zumba and Tai Chi classes, pop-up soccer, and children’s bingo. Young Audiences of Houston brings weekly art, music and cultural activities to the park.

Thanks to contributions from corporate sponsors and neighborhood organizations, Woodchase Park hosts special events throughout the year, including Spring Break; Summer Movie Nights, and a Christmas movie night.
