Celebrating 65 Years of Parks The Fairfax County Park Authority turns 65 this year! We’ve gone from a great idea with few resources to a robust, nationally-acclaimed system with facilities and programs that span the needs of a diverse, multi-faceted community. With nearly 24,000 acres of parkland, we are among the area’s largest providers of recreation as well as stewards of open space, forests, historic sites, and a popular network of connecting trails. The Park Authority provides great value to community residents for just a tiny portion of each household’s property tax bill. These General Fund contributions combine with revenues from golf courses, RECenters and summer camps paid for by folks who enjoy those services. With these dollars and votersupported capital funding, we work hard to provide what you need – top flight municipal golf courses, trails, expanded fitness centers, equestrian programs and skate parks, places for dogs to run, athletic fields, gardens, nature centers and stream valley parks that provide serenity and wildlife habitat. The list is long. Over the next few months the Park Authority, hand-in-hand with the Park Foundation, will entice you to join the 65th Anniversary celebration. Look for details about a winter celebration at Frying Pan Farm Park. Learn about our past from our online Park Authority timeline this fall. Bring your talent and passion for words to our poetry slam at Huntley Meadows Park. Our theme is 65 Years of Making Parks Count, a fitting tribute in a year dedicated to a needs assessment survey, which will help us determine future development and better understand your desires for parks. Fairfax County Thousands have already participated, and we appreciate that input. Park Authority We invite you to meet your parks anew – there are more than 400. Visit again, and discover something different – bluebells at a riverfront park, stories around a roaring campfire, history come to years of making life, the Water Mine, Clemyjontri Park, flying squirrels at a nature center, maple syrup fresh from a tree, or just-picked produce at a farmers market. Enjoy a free summer concert, a slide on a playground, a picnic at a lakeside pavilion or a wagon ride through pastoral farmland. Ride a carousel, or make memories on a train. Camp under the stars or play mini-golf – perfect family adventures. Fairfax County loves its parks. Seventeen million visits a year tell us that. You make us count. We count on you to support your nationally accredited, award-winning parks. Come back again and again.

Children Reach Creative Heights with Art It’s easy to see why creativity comes easy for children enrolled in Art Above and Beyond class. Their teacher, Christina Mark, is a veteran preschool and elementary educator who knows how to connect with kids with a variety of weekly projects. “We use mixed mediums, and every week we do something different,” Mark said. “One week we might do a wood sculpture and the next week might be a canvas painting, for example.” Sometimes the budding artists get to use a modeling compound or clay to make a threedimensional work of art. “We’re learning how to make frogs out of clay,” said 5-year-old Laila Howell enthusiastically during one class as she painted her frog in shimmering silver. “Sometimes Art students pose with instructor Christina Mark and the clay masterpieces they we make beautiful colors by mixing colors.” created in Art Above and Beyond classes at Wakefield Park.

FootGolf Tees Off at Pinecrest

It’s Sunday afternoon at Pinecrest Golf Course in Alexandria, and players have abandoned the usual golf tee time for what some might consider kickoff time in the newest sport sweeping the nation – footgolf – a combination of soccer and golf. “It’s really fun,” said 13-year old Andre Lamarque in a game with his friends Sebastian Boos and Harrison DiPetto. “We really like soccer and golf, and this is a new sport for us.” Footgolf is especially popular with soccer enthusiasts like Steven Novotny and Jeff Homens, who grew up playing club soccer together near Baltimore. Now 26 and employed in the D.C. area, the childhood friends are excited about the prospect of playing footgolf at Pinecrest, the only footgolf course in Fairfax County. “It’s inside the beltway, which is nice, and the game is super fun,” Novotny said. Homens agreed. “It’s an excellent way to work on your [soccer] skills in a relaxed manner,” he said. “I played [footgolf] once in Milwaukee, and this course is a lot nicer.” Footgolf rules are similar to regular golf rules from the tee box to the greens, bunkers, hazards and holes of play. The difference is you don’t need any special skills to play footgolf. “If you can kick a ball, you can play footgolf,” said Pinecrest manager Sarah Oberther. “Players can either bring their own soccer ball or rent one at the clubhouse.” In footgolf, groups of up to four players take their turns kicking their ball toward each hole and walk the course or ride in a golf cart. While the soccer ball doesn’t travel as far in the air as a golf ball, it rolls much farther in the fairways. Holes are 21 inches around and about 14 inches deep, and they are placed away from the traditional golf holes. The goal is to get your soccer ball to land in each footgolf hole with the fewest number of kicks. Scorecards display par scores for each hole as in regulation golf and can be used to determine the winner. Footgolf is played throughout the world in many different forms, and as a sport in the United States, it is governed by The American FootGolf League (AFGL). In just four years since the AFGL was founded, 418 courses nationwide have launched footgolf programs, and Pinecrest Golf Course is one of only three in Va. certified by the AFGL. Though the game is just getting started at Pinecrest, enthusiasts like Novotny expect it to catch on like wildfire. “This is such a great activity for former soccer players, and this area is so soccer heavy, this course is going to blow up with events once the word gets out,” he said.

“If you can kick a ball, you can play footgolf.”

An 18-hole round of footgolf is just $12 per person (walking) if you bring your own ball or $15 if you rent a ball at the clubhouse. Footgolf tee times are available at Pinecrest on Saturday and Sunday afternoons starting at 1:30 p.m., and power carts are available for an additional charge. To reserve a footgolf tee time or for more information, call (703) 941-1061.

Partnership Provides Access to Night Skies

Civic Sportsmanship Keeps Park Clean Nearly one year after Sully Highlands Park opened in Herndon, the state-ofthe-art athletic complex looks as pristine as it did on opening day. “It’s a source of community pride,” said Ralph Wills whose sweat equity in this complex dates back to the tail end of his 40-year career with the Fairfax County Park Authority Operations Division. Now, his service continues as a park volunteer and a member of the Chantilly Youth Association (CYA), which is spearheading the trash-free zone initiative at this park. “All of our parks are great facilities, and we need to take care of them,” he said. “Stewardship is everyone’s responsibility.” Sully Highlands Park was established through a partnership between the Park Authority, the athletic community and local developers. Keeping the park clean through the trash-free zone initiative not only saves taxpayers the cost of paying crews to clean up the park after a full weekend of use, it keeps away scavenging Ralph Wills and Mark Abbott animals and birds. “The birds have strewn trash all over,” Wills recalled from his former park experiences, “and the Park Authority doesn’t have the manpower.” That’s why on any given weekend, you’ll find Wills and CYA executive director Mark Abbott marshaling Sully Highlands Park, reminding visitors of the trash-free initiative and asking them to take home any trash they brought into the park, such as food wrappers and drink cans. “We’re pretty confident that by asking people to do it, they’ll do it.” Abbott said. “We get very little pushback.” In fact, parents like Shenley Williams see it as a good lesson in civic sportsmanship for their children after their games end. “I think it’s nice, and it’s easy enough for us to do,” she said. “It keeps the fields really clean, and it keeps the animals and birds away. Hopefully we can keep it up for years to come.” The pilot trash-free zone initiative at Sully Highlands Park will be evaluated for its effectiveness after one year. Wills hopes it turns out to be a winning strategy for keeping other parks clean throughout Fairfax County. “It’s time and effort, but it works,” he said. Fall 2015

Get ready for more opportunities to peer into the night skies, see craters and mountains on the moon, the belts of Jupiter, rings of Saturn, far away galaxies, and more at Turner Farm in Great Falls. The Analemma Society and the Fairfax County Park Authority are teaming up to build a new rolltop observatory, including four telescopes on mounts. The new observatory is expected to be completed in early 2016 and will allow viewing in a wider range of conditions and in a more protected environment. Currently year round, the general public is invited to join the Analemma Society and Northern Virginia Astronomy Club on clear Friday nights at Turner Farm to see an array of celestial wonders and learn about science through astronomy. On sunny Saturdays and Sundays, Turner Farm visitors can see a beautiful sundial. Programming and sundial viewing is free to participants thanks to the dedication of knowledgeable volunteers. Find out more about available programming, including closures due to weather and events, online at www.analemma.org. Teachers and scout groups should contact the Analemma Society in advance to ensure enough telescopes are available on Friday nights. To learn about other science-based activities in parks, turn to the Nature and Science section of Parktakes.

Volunteer Spotlight

Judy Nitsche Sully Historic Site

Online System Makes Volunteering Easy

For the past five years, Judy Nitsche has been putting her green thumb to work in the Sully Historic Site federal-period garden. Her service came at a time when budget cuts left the previously staffed garden unattended, and the neglect took its toll. “There were lots of weeds,” she recalled, “and when I first started volunteering, I pulled a lot of weeds.” These days, thanks to volunteers like Nitsche, the garden at Sully and other park sites have never looked so beautiful, and the volunteers have filled in the ranks in other areas as well. During the winter months, Nitsche serves as a docent in Sully’s historic house giving tours and helping with historical programs. In addition, she volunteers in the county library system and uses the county’s online volunteer management system to track her service hours and to see other available volunteer positions throughout Fairfax County. The Park Authority's volunteer opportunities were recently added to the database. “I can’t tell you how many people have come through Sully and said, ‘I didn’t know you did things like this.’ For anybody who wants to volunteer, the new system gives you the opportunity to go in and see the

VOLUNTEER! 16

opportunities that are available and choose from a whole lot of offerings,” she said. Nitsche says the online volunteer management system helps make the process more efficient for both the people who want to volunteer and the agencies that need them. “You fill out the application online, choose the opportunities you’re interested in, and the application is sent electronically to those sites,” she said. “They contact you if they can use your skills.” The online system now serves as Fairfax County’s one-stop shop for volunteer opportunities, and it enables county officials to quickly see how well volunteers are fulfilling needs that might otherwise go unmet. “The county needs to know the value of what it’s getting from its volunteer workforce,” Nitsche said. “It’s phenomenal – literally millions of dollarsworth of service.”

Under the supervision of trained instructors, Adapted Aquatics volunteers work one-on-one with children and adults who have mental or physical disabilities. The only requirement is a willing heart and a commitment to an eight or 10week class series. You don’t have to be an expert swimmer - just comfortable in the water. Volunteers work at Oak Marr, Providence, South Run, Audrey Moore and Spring Hill RECenters.

Learn-to-Swim Classes for Babies and Preschoolers Baby & Me Swim (6-18 mos.)

Follow guidelines when registering

If it has been a month or longer since the student has participated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the aquatic staff at your favorite RECenter. For safety reasons and to ensure that customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability level.

Practice and Repetition are keys to success

Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water familiarity and outside practice. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement. Repeating a level does not constitute failure, it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.

Combining course levels

When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits

Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool being closed to clean and sanitize the water. • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming. • Be sure to use the bathroom before getting into the pool, go on frequent bathroom breaks. • For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear snug fitting plastic pants and/or a swim diaper under their bathing suit. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Please check diapers often, and change them in the locker room; not on the pool deck. • Adults who have continence issues should refrain from using the pool. • Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet. • Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

Steve Beheler Operations Manager Spokes, Etc. Steve Beheler has a lifelong passion for parks. “As a kid growing up in Fairfax County, I remember there was nothing I wanted to do more when I got home from school than to grab my bike and ride to the local park with my friends,” he recalled fondly. Now, the Spokes, Etc. operations manager is looking forward to giving three children the same love of outdoor play when he awards each of them a brand new bicycle and safety helmet for winning the Park Authority’s Discovery Trail Map summer activity program. “The park system and its trails are a huge part of what we do,” he said. “We cater to families and to competitive bike enthusiasts, and our Discovery Trail Map sponsorship ties in nicely with our mission – to keep kids active.”

(3-Adult) Reenact the historic sea-faring journey by

building your own mini-cardboard boat to float down the Pohick stream. Supplies provided for building a boat. Then we head down to the creek for a race to the finish. Small prizes and bragging rights are awarded for the fastest and best-decorated boats.

The Discovery Trail Map features 12 distinctive park sites across Fairfax County. Children who visit at least eight of the sites over the summer earn a prize package that includes Fairfax County Park Authority tickets for a free train ride, carousel ride, boat ride, mini golf game and more. They also get entered in the Spokes, Etc. drawing for a chance to win a bike and safety helmet. Maps are available at all staffed Fairfax County park locations and public libraries, while supplies last. You can also download maps and learn more details online at www.fairfaxcounty. gov/parks. Perhaps no one is more excited about the prospect of the bike drawing this fall than Beheler himself. For him, it will be like reliving a childhood memory through the eyes of his youngest patrons. “There’s nothing better than seeing the joy on a kid’s face when you put him on a bike for the first time,” he said. “It’s awesome.”

The Discovery Trail Map prizes were made possible through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. To learn how you can support your local parks and park programs, visit www.fairfaxparkfoundation.org.

Pet Place

Pet Place Our dog obedience classes help build a strong relationship between pet and handler by developing understanding and communication. Flexible training methods are employed for home management, problem solving and correction. Please note: • Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permitted in Park Authority classes. • Bring a shot record with proof of DHLA rabies and parvovirus shots to the first class. • All dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, wearing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area. • Check with instructor at first class for proper leashes, collars and other equipment. • An adult must stay with child handler if student is younger than 16 or does not have own transportation. • All classes are held outdoors. • Register the handler, not the dog; one handler/one dog per registration. Some classes may have supply fees so check class descriptions for details. Any supply fees are payable to instructor at first class and are non-refundable.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks Owners of well-mannered canines can take their pets to fenced, off-leash dog parks for free play, a good run or a friendly romp with other dogs. FCPA has eight established dog parks: Blake Lane, 10033 Blake Lane, Oakton Baron Cameron, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave., Reston South Run, 7550 Reservation Drive, Springfield Mason District, 6621 Columbia Pike, Annandale. Chandon, 900 Palmer Drive, Herndon Rock Hill District Park, 15150 Old Lee Rd., Centreville. Grist Mill, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alexandria Westgrove, 6801 Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria All Park Authority dog parks are public/private partnerships, developed in cooperation with sponsoring organizations of pet owners. The sponsors are the agency’s liaison between users and local residents, Animal Control and the Police Department. They monitor and clean up the facilities, publicize dog park rules and regulations, and report maintenance needs to the Park Authority. Dog parks are open year round from sunup to sundown. Off-leash dog park users do so at their own risk. Neither Fairfax County nor the Fairfax County Park Authority is liable for any injury or damage caused by any dog in the off-leash area. For off-leash dog park rules and regulations, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parkrules/dogpark.htm, or call (703) 324-8594.
