We would like to notify our residents that the trails at our Recreational Complex will be closed during the daytime hours beginning 9/23/2022 and into the following week. This is due to them being paved and a basketball court being installed. We anticipate the completion of this project by the end of next week September 30,2022. Also, once the trails have been completed the parking lot will be paved and not be able to be utilized during that time. We will inform you once this is underway. We hope you will enjoy the improved trails and parking lot after these projects are completed. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Washington Townships Trick or Treat will be held on Sunday October 30, 2022 from 2-5 pm. We hope our residents and their children have a safe and fun time!
