Special Features
Members at WNVH enjoy a welcoming and educational non-denominational chapel located on the facility grounds. A well-stocked fishing pond is surrounded by a lighted concrete walkway for easy accessibility. Those members wanting to stretch for success may compete in the horseshoe pit or enjoy the classy putting green. Indoors, the options for socializing include a state-of-the art exercise room, a canteen loaded with snacks and beverages, a public computer station, and a lounging room with cable television. No matter what your game is: one-pocket, eight-ball, nine-ball, or snooker, the atmosphere is exciting around the wonderful claw foot pool table. Those who enjoy sewing, painting, working on puzzles and more have a spacious craft room to practice their talents.
