Teen
Raises Funds for Trees
| Sometimes one person
can make a difference. Patrick Ditzel decided he would
solicit donations from people in his neighborhood so the
Centerville-Washington Park District could buy trees for the
district's parks. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and give off
oxygen through photosynthesis, helping improve air quality.

Information

this highly adaptable animal. |
The Centerville-Washington Park District
(also known as the Washington Township Park District) was created in 1959 by local residents with the foresight to realize that areas needed to be set aside as parks while the community was developed with houses and businesses.
Nearly 1000 acres have been preserved at
45 parks. The park effort has been so successful we are known as the Open Space Community.
Open space, scenic parks, and quality programs help make our community a special place to live. Continued local support, cooperation with other agencies, and great volunteers will enable the Park District to meet the park and outdoor recreation demands of future generations.
