  • New Community Updates

    Meetings with Township Leadership
    Since the beginning of the year, Woodland Civic Association representatives have met twice with the Mayor and Township leadership team to discuss neighborhood concerns, including public safety, crime prevention, property maintenance, and unkept properties within the community.

    Enhanced Park Security
    Working with the Cherry Hill Police Department, a mobile surveillance unit will be stationed at the park for a two-to-three-week period. The unit is designed to deter criminal activity, monitor the area, and assist law enforcement in identifying suspicious activity.

    Successful Neighborhood Block Party
    The Woodland Civic Association proudly hosted its first community block party, bringing together more than 70 residents for an afternoon of fellowship, neighborhood engagement, and community building.

    ST Electric Complex Improvements
    The ST Electric Complex recently installed a new perimeter fence that significantly enhances the appearance of the property and contributes positively to the overall appearance of the neighborhood.

    Completed Community Improvements

    726 Northwood Avenue Development
    The zoning application for 726 Northwood Avenue was approved, and plans are moving forward for the construction of new homes on the property.

    ShopRite Parking Lot Security System
    After residents raised concerns regarding the volume of the ShopRite parking lot security system, the Woodland Civic Association engaged with store management. ShopRite responded and removed the security system from the parking lot.
