Sherwood Community Center at 3740 Blenheim Boulevard is a City of Fairfax facility that serves as a venue for community events and is a central component of the broader Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center project. On October 14, 2025, the City Council approved a Special Use Permit for expanded government use, two special exceptions (a side yard modification and a parking reduction), and a Certificate of Appropriateness for architecture and landscaping — all in connection with the health and community center project. Under each of those land-use approvals, a building addition to the Stacy C.

Sherwood Community Center was incorporated as an optional component. The SUP and special exceptions passed 4-3 (Hall, McQuillen, and Peterson opposed), while the Certificate of Appropriateness passed 4-2 (Hall and Peterson opposed). On April 28, 2026, the City Council unanimously adopted Resolution R-26-13 (6-0), authorizing the Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center project to proceed to construction and amending the Joint Development Agreement with Fairfax County; however, the optional renovation and addition to the performing arts space at the existing Stacy C.

Sherwood Community Center was explicitly excluded from that resolution and will not proceed at this time.
