Park District Celebrates 50 Years!

In the early 1950's Centerville and Washington Township were 90% agricultural land and residents began to get nervous about fast approaching development that did not have any guidelines for preserving open space. A Committee of 100, led by resident Bill Yeck, was formed to promote the adoption of the Montgomery County zoning regulations. In 1958 the Common Pleas Court appointed Charles P. Burkhart, James M. Boyle and Arthur E. Moyer as park commissioners to develop a plan to create a park district for the growing community. Read more history here.

Skate park designer Wally Hollyday met with residents in April to learn their ideas for the design of the new skate park. Read about Wally Hollyday Design and view photos of parks he has designed.
