Included in the remodel of the 3.5-acre park project is the installation of a walking trail, outdoor fitness equipment, recreational swimming pool, two playground areas, picnic shelters, a skate spot, basketball courts, lighting, restrooms and parking lot.

On June 29, 2022, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was released for qualified design firms that would be interested in providing consultant services for the preparation of Plans and Specifications, including engineered cost estimate, for the revitalization and expansion of Woodbury Park. There were four qualified proposals received on July 27, 2022. The Source Selection Committee (SSC) scored each proposal based on the criteria that was provided in the RFP for a total of 400.

Following the review of these total scores for the four proposers, the SSC scheduled interviews with the two highest scoring proposers, David Volz Design Landscape Architects, Inc. and RJM Design Group, Inc.
