FAQs

Below are some common questions we hope to answer about The Fields. If you have any questions that are not addressed below, please reach out to Associate Minister of Recreation, Trevor Jackson.

First Woodway seeks to provide a welcoming environment where members as well as the community can engage in healthy, holistic lifestyle activities. We believe that the Church and community can come together in this space to experience God and community in a safe and active way.

The primary mission of The Fields is to create a space where people can gather and join in healthy activities that would connect them more deeply to God and to each other. We are made to live in community.

There are safety lights around the walking track, and there are lights in and around the pavilion. We also have lighting for courts and fields to allow for greater use as a gathering space for families, friends, and our neighbors.

Yes, on a limited basis, depending on what is scheduled there. We do not plan for a full-time staff member monitoring in times of open recreation; however, because of the proximity to the church and the MAC, there will be hourly checks for any injury or damage. It will also be on the Woodway Police roving beat, mostly to check when the facility is closed.

While there are no restrooms at The Fields, restrooms are available inside the MAC building located next to The Fields. Restrooms follow MAC hours which can be found on the MAC webpage.
