As members of a cohousing community, residents also have access to an abundance of shared amenities, which include: a 23-acre forested greenbelt with trails, campground, and a stream; playgrounds and a playfield; productive community gardens and fruit trees; and a community center called the Common House, which can be used for shared meals and social events, and which also has a library and well-stocked pantry with kitchen staples for sale. Residents contribute to the community by serving on volunteer teams, including the garden team, recycling and sustainability team, dinner team, social team, and children’s team. Each adult resident contributes to one “core” team and one community life team. To learn more about our community, please visit: http://www.sharingwood.net.
