Residents also love to shop at the Dollar Tree!

In addition to shopping outings once a month, residents look forward to going out to lunch. Mayfair Seafood is one of their favorite eateries in town, along with Logan’s Roadhouse, Chili’s, Olive Garden and O’Charley’s, to name a few!

During the warmer months, Woodridge residents also enjoy outdoor activities and outings such as a visit to the pumpkin patch or a picnic lunch in the park. Another favorite activity is going to the movies at Pruitt Health Union Pointe. Residents are invited to see a movie in their theater for free once a month. The experience includes soda, popcorn and a candy bar, all free of charge.

“A change of scenery is nice for everyone,” said Activities Director Brittany Baucom. “Getting out and about in the community is something residents never tire of.”
