Makemie Woods Park Plans Move Forward | Virginia Beach News

New Kent County is finally moving forward with Makemie Woods — that 274-acre plot near Barhamsville — turning it into a neighborhood park after years of stalled plans. With $150,000 from the Colonial Downs reserve earmarked for engineering and design work, the Parks and Rec team is mapping out what can be built safely, while community members dream up trails, playgrounds, sports fields, shelters, bathrooms, and even a disc golf course. A town hall for District 5 will gather more input before finalizing plans — and the county board unanimously approved the funding, marking a major step toward creating a public space everyone can enjoy.
