Lee District Park Authority Board Member Tim Eakin Walsh

Tim Eakin Walsh is a fourth generation member of the LeRoy Eakin family who donated the first parcel of land to Fairfax County and the Fairfax County Park Authority. From the initial 15 acre parcel donation, additional land donations were made by the family over the years helping to create or expand Eakin Community Park, Eakin Mantua Park and the Accotink Stream Valley Park.

Mr. Eakin Walsh is honored to serve on his family’s behalf. He is the third Eakin family member to serve on the Foundation’s Board since its inception.

Involved in real estate since 1992, Mr. Eakin Walsh is currently a real estate investor and Realtor with Samson Properties specializing in selling new homes and land development. Mr. Eakin Walsh works full time in residential real estate with his wife Ayda, and other Realtor team members. He created Your New Home Team to focus his energies in creating smooth transactions and utilizing technology, experience and teamwork.

Mr. Eakin Walsh has lived in Northern Virginia all his life and enjoyed many County parks (especially those with soccer fields and basketball courts!) when growing up in McLean, Virginia.

Mr. Eakin Walsh hopes to help encourage other individuals, families and companies to follow in his family’s footsteps by creating a legacy through donating land to the Park Authority and/or establishing a trust fund through the Park Foundation. The Eakin family also established a trust fund for the ongoing maintenance and repair of Eakin Park.
