James A. Woody Community Center- 13467 Navajo Road

With the formation of the Community Services District in 1950, the idea of a Community Center was launched. Bass and Westlund again donated the land, and members of the community provided much of the materials and laborer.  The CSD held fundraisers to finance construction.  The "Buck a Block" campaign was a great success.  Blocks were "borrowed" from the local Tingley Lumber Co., Then sold to community members for $1.00.  The donation entitled a person to have their name painted on the block.  When the construction was complete in 1951, the Community Center became the gathering place for dinners, dances, and the annual Pow Wow Days.  A portion of the building was destroyed by the fire in 1954 but was soon rebuilt.  The Arts and Crafts room named for Esther Brown, a founding member of the Apple Valley Art Guild, was added.  A final addition, the Les Ward Room, was built in 1971.  Today the Town of Apple Valley Park and Recreation Department uses the facility for classes and activities.  It is also available to rent for wedding, parties, and other social services.
