Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center
Dear Fairfax City Parks and Recreation Participant,
The City of Fairfax and Fairfax County are partnering on the Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center. An exciting, innovative project is underway in the heart of Fairfax City!
Fairfax City and Fairfax County are redeveloping the Joseph Willard Health Center and Stacy C. Sherwood Center sites into a single destination for health, wellness, fitness, child care, and performing arts.
Located at the corner of Layton Hall Drive and Old Lee Highway, the new Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center will be built in place of the current health center and include a campus redesign that connects to the Sherwood Center.
Once complete, the city-operated community center and a county-operated health and human services center will provide integrated services to both city and county residents.
The joint redevelopment project came about following years of evaluations conducted by both the city and county. They are working together to develop a conceptual plan for this campus -- and your input is needed to make this happen.
This campus will offer many different programs and services designed to meet the needs of individuals of all ages and abilities throughout Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax. To that end, county and city staff are seeking input to ensure that the campus is designed to meet the needs and interests of the surrounding community.
While some of the programs in the facility have already been designated; there will be multiple opportunities for community involvement and engagement throughout the process to discuss a variety of topics including site concepts, facility amenities, community center programming, and construction logistics.
To kick-off the public engagement two virtual Zoom sessions will be held. You must register to participate – the links below will take you to the registration form. Once completed you will receive an email with the Zoom meeting link. If you would like to attend both you must register for each separately.
In-Person: A “drop-in” event will be held at the Stacy C. Sherwood Community Center in mid to late February. Date announced soon!
In addition to the Virtual Open-Houses you can visit Engage Fairfax to learn more about the project and to take a survey, leave us your ideas and ask questions.
