Fairfax County Park Authority Leadership
When I came on board 39 years ago, the Fairfax County Park Authority was celebrating its 30 year anniversary of providing public open space, recreational activities and natural and historical experiences. Our headquarters was in a small building in Annandale, and we had only about half the facilities that we enjoy today. Now, as the agency celebrates its 70th anniversary, I am so grateful to have had a meaningful role in this nationally recognized park system serving the diverse interests of our ever-changing community.
I was just out of college in 1981, when I saw a newspaper ad for an events assistant at Colvin Run Mill. I thought this sounded unique, and quickly applied. I passed a typing test on an IBM Selectric III typewriter, wrote a simple press release and already was experienced with musicians and contracts. It was enough to land me the job launching my Park Authority career.
As the agency grew, I grew in progressively responsible park positions. I had a blast leading school group programs at Dranesville Tavern, and because I have always loved the mystery of old buildings and the stories they tell, I went back to school to focus on museum studies, with the support of my family. I wanted to be a part of researching and preserving those living spaces, and especially revealing their stories to others. My dream became a reality when I started working at Sully Historic Site, eventually becoming the manager. Sully’s preservation and family stories are as intricate as any homesite that has lasted this long. The historic house continues to challenge me, and I love the hard work and responsibility of keeping the site true to its past 226 years – yet always looking forward. It is rewarding to work with an incredible and knowledgeable staff especially investigating Sully’s rich history, recreating the slave quarter, installing the East Wing exhibit with artifacts and developing programming and tours to preserve the past. This year, an important bond project was completed to shore up the main house structure, giving it an inner strength that won’t be seen but will carry it to the future. I like to think that same strength from “within” is what will continue to carry the Park Authority into the future!

RECenter Members Welcome New Safety Protocols Change is never easy, and Lee District RECenter manager Joshua Smith wasn’t sure how customers would react to the facility’s new pandemic-related safety protocols. Lee was among the first three RECenters to reopen in July after a three-month shutdown due to COVID-19, and Smith knew the operational changes would take some getting used to. “We’ve been pleasantly surprised at the reactions from members and guests,” Smith said appreciatively. “People are glad to be back in the building and we’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on everything from our enhanced cleaning protocols to our fitness center setup, which allows plenty of space between equipment to assure appropriate social distancing while exercising.” Janet Roberson was among the first RECenter members to visit Lee when it reopened. She says she was impressed with what she saw. “I was so happy to swim in the pool and see all the wonderful steps taken to assure a safe experience for staff and customers,” she said. “The directional signs were very helpful, registration was easy as was check-in, and the facility was spotless.” RECenter reservations are now required at all nine locations to manage fitness room and pool occupancy and assure room for social distancing. Temperature checks are required for all RECenter staff, members and guests before entering the buildings, and everyone is required to wear a mask or face covering when not actively exercising. Directional signs help limit contact with others, and 30-minute intervals between reservations give staff time to disinfect equipment and high-touch surfaces before the next use. “It’s awesome,” said Denise Parker of Fairfax during a recent fitness center workout at Oak Marr RECenter. “This is my first time back, and it feels really safe here. Everyone is really diligent about wiping down the machines and doing a wonderful job.” The first-week sentiment was the same at Spring Hill RECenter. Members were impressed with the facility’s cleanliness and the 10-foot distances between fitness machines. “It’s overwhelming how clean it is here,” said Howard Mortman of McLean. “With all the precautions and directional signs, safe distances and sanitizers, I feel safer here than I do in a grocery store.” “I was wary of coming in at first, but now that I’ve seen it, I’m very confident about going in,” said William Lanier of Vienna. “I do feel safe, and I like these individual disinfectants [bottles] that we can spray on the machines.” Now that all nine RECenters are open again, manager Joshua Smith says RECenter members and staff are getting used to the new “normal.” “Since we’ve reopened, everyone has been very respectful of one another,” he said thoughtfully. “I think the situation has caused us all to be more cautious in our actions and to develop better gym habits in the interest of continued good health for everyone.” 4

Rave Reviews
It’s a sunny Saturday morning in July at South Run RECenter, and fitness enthusiasts can hardly wait to get moving again in the Park Authority’s new outdoor fitness classes. These are the first RECenter classes offered since Virginia residents and businesses were shuttered in March by Governor Ralph Northam’s pandemic-related stay-at-home order. “I was thrilled to see the yoga class start, and it was fun to take Zumba outdoors, too,” said Niki Purkoski of Springfield enthusiastically. “It’s nice to get out and be active again in a safe way, and they [the Park Authority] have taken great strides to assure everything is as safe as possible.” Classmate Becky Carlson thought carefully about whether to sign up. She says she’s been taking yoga at South Run for the past 10 years and was anxious to get back to the class, but only if it could be done safely in the age of COVID-19. “Being in a high-risk age group is something to consider,” she said, “and I’m not sure I’d take the class inside, but being outside is great, and all precautions are being taken with respect to social distancing. I like it, and I’ve also done Tai Chi outside.” While the Yoga class takes place on the patio in back, the Running for Fitness class begins with stretching in front of the RECenter before hitting the trail for a nature-inspired run. Class sizes are smaller than usual to help assure appropriate social distancing. “I think it’s fantastic,” said Nickie Langland of Alexandria. “If it weren’t for these outdoor classes, I’d be doing absolutely nothing, and I feel safe exercising outside.” The Park Authority offers a wide range of morning and evening outdoor fitness classes seven days a week at locations across Fairfax County. Options include Aerobics, Boot Camp, Cycle Spin, Pilates, H.I.I.T, BODYCOMBAT, Fitness for Seniors and more. All classes are held outdoors in locations ranging from RECenter parking lots and patios to fields and trails, and all are conducted with appropriate, pandemic-related safety precautions including social distancing.

Golfers Find an Escape at FCPA Golf Courses “Next up on the tee, Savage, Bishop, Cormany and Colley,” announced a man’s voice over the loudspeaker at Jefferson District Park and Golf Course. Seconds later, the four golfers happily made their way to the course to tee off in their standing Monday-morning Senior Men’s League game. It seemed like old times, sort of, with new safety rules following a pandemic-related, twoand-a-half-month, golf course shutdown. “The reopening of the golf courses was like being pulled from the dark abyss of boredom and despair,” said Mike Savage, an avid Fairfax County golfer and retired middle school teacher. “No one minds wearing a mask while indoors, and the call-ahead check-in allows you to stay outside the whole time. You never have to go inside [the clubhouse] unless you want to.” When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, all Park Authority courses closed indefinitely in March to slow the spread of the highly contagious illness and help ensure the well-being of golfers and staff. During the shutdown, all Park Authority golf courses followed CDC and professional golf industry recommendations to shore up facilities to limit contact and reduce the risk of illness. Plexiglass barriers were installed in pro shops and at food service cashier stations. Enhanced indoor and outdoor cleaning protocols were developed and implemented. Limited occupancy and directional signs were installed to assure social distancing, and online services were improved to enable golfers to both reserve a tee time and pay online. The goal was to ensure that all six Park Authority courses could operate responsibly, and all golfers could play safely in an ongoing pandemic. “I think the safety measures put in place are good and adequate for our safety,” said John Cormany, an avid golfer and retired postal carrier. “I think being able to reserve and pay for a tee time online is a great idea.” Golf courses were among the first Park Authority facilities to reopen in May. Once the news spread, golfers welcomed the new safety rules and jumped at the chance to play again. “Pent up demand and lack of recreational opportunities resulted in a record number of rounds, buckets and business,” said Park Authority Golf Enterprises Manager Todd Johnson. “We’re also seeing golfers who are new to our courses.” For veteran golfers Mike Savage, George Bishop, John Cormany and Joe Colley, returning to Jefferson was like coming home again to a treasured friend. Just seeing the course was a hopeful sign that all is well, and all will be well again after the pandemic ends. “It’s a great course to walk and get your daily exercise,” Savage said. “I just want to thank Jefferson management and the maintenance crew for keeping the course in great shape during the course shut down,” Cormany said. “The course was in the best shape I have ever seen it when we resumed play.” 6

Curbside Pickup gets a Green Thumbs Up from Gardeners With Green Spring Gardens’ new curbside pickup service, there’s no need to let concerns about COVID-19 exposure curb your enthusiasm for gardening. The park’s Garden Gate Plant Shop offers plants and shrubs that grow well in our area, and the online order form featuring available plants is updated each Thursday. You make your selection, order and pay by phone, drive up to the curb at pickup time, and a staff member loads your order in the trunk for you. You don’t even have to get out of the car! “This is fantastic because we have really been isolating ourselves,” said Debbie Porter, a retired Head Start teacher and avid gardener from Burke. “Because of risk of COVID-19 exposure, I haven’t felt comfortable going into regular nurseries, and Green Spring’s curbside pickup is just perfect!” Nancy Scott, an avid gardener from Alexandria, has also been practicing social distancing during the pandemic. She says Green Spring’s curbside service enables her to continue her love of gardening without fear of getting sick. “In the absence of being able to shop myself, this is really the best option,” she said. “I’m glad it’s available.” The shop’s plant selection includes some unusual and hard-to-find options nurtured by the park’s horticultural staff. Plant sale proceeds are used by the Friends of Green Spring (FROGS) to buy plants and supplies for the shop. To see what plants are available, check out the order form online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring. Once you’ve made your selections, call the park at (703) 642-5173.

Green Spring Gardens Marks a Milestone Anniversary It’s been 50 years since Michael and Belinda Straight said farewell to historic Green Spring and gave the home, its outbuildings and 18 acres to Fairfax County for preservation as a natural and historical resource for the community. Their generous gift marked the end of nearly 200 years of private ownership and the beginning of its transformation into the present-day Green Spring Gardens, which includes the historic house, a horticulture center and 22 themed demonstration gardens.
“The land has become in Michael’s words, ‘a thriving center for all who love gardening and revere our past,’” said Green Spring Historian Debbie Waugh.
The park’s story is as rich and colorful as the gardens for which it is known. The historic house was constructed by patriot John Moss in 1784, the year after the Revolutionary War ended and the year before the gentleman farmer became a Fairfax County Court Justice. It remained in his family for nearly 60 years. Another longtime owner, Fountain Beattie, ran a dairy farm, orchard and legal still here from 1878 to 1911, while he and his wife, Annie, raised their 11 children. By the time Minnie Whitesell bought the property in 1931, it was in shambles. “She was a widow in her 60s, and she was advised to tear it down,” Waugh said. “She decided to restore the house instead, and she lived here with two of her children for more than a decade. She was the first owner to install plumbing.”
Green Spring’s last private owners, Michael and Belinda Straight, were young newlyweds in 1942 when they bought the 32-acre estate for $32,500. He was descended from the prominent Whitney family, and she was the daughter of an English businessman. The nature lovers wanted to own a home in the Washington, D.C. countryside, and they were sold on Green Spring’s rustic charm almost from the moment they saw it. “We looked at it and that same night we decided absolutely,” Belinda recalled in a 2002 interview with a Green Spring historian. “It was so lovely…something to fall in love with, so we did.”
Within months of moving in, the well-connected power couple commissioned two American design masters to transform the property where they would raise their five children and entertain many prominent guests in their 24 years here. They hired Mount Vernon’s acclaimed restoration architect, Walter Macomber, to enlarge and renovate the house. At the same time, trailblazing landscape designer Beatrix Farrand created both formal and informal garden spaces, including a simple garden “room” behind the house – a spacious lawn enclosed by a crescent of boxwood. Their enduring designs ultimately led to Green Spring Gardens’ present-day status on both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1966, Michael, an editor, author and deputy chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, and Belinda, a psychiatrist and civil rights activist, decided it was time to move. They bought another historic home in Georgetown from Jacqueline Kennedy, a family friend, and deeded Green Spring to the Park Authority in 1970. Today, the Straights’ legacy attracts hundreds of thousands of park lovers who visit Green Spring Gardens each year. It has become a gold mine of information and inspiration for the home gardener over the past 50 years, and its bucolic setting still offers newcomers “something to fall in love with,” just as it did the Straights so many years ago. The Green Spring historic house offers year-round lectures and garden tours, often accompanied by a traditional afternoon English tea. Programs are listed in the gardening and history sections. 88

Summer Parktakes The Lost Issue Due to COVID-19, this beautiful cover and its contents never made it out the door to the printer. We shifted deadlines and cut content multiple times until it became clear that summer programs could not be offered due to the pandemic. It’s the only time in Parktakes' 35-year history that the magazine was not published. Now that the situation has improved in Fairfax County and safety measures are in place in our facilities, we are delighted to share with you the Park Authority’s fabulous fall programs!
What About the Animals? One of the most frequently asked questions during the COVID-19 shutdown was, “What about the animals?” Soon you can see for yourself how the Park Authority’s beloved animals fared while parks were closed. As of press time, nature centers and historic sites were preparing to open in the third phase of the Park Authority’s plan to resume operations for the first time since March. During the months-long park closure, the animals at Frying Pan Farm Park got full attention from the farmer and full-time staff members who were cross-trained to cover all farm chores and keep the animals safe in the event regular caretakers were to become ill. “We have feed lists posted explaining which animals get what, and that is always in flux,” said park manager Yvonne Johnson. “For example, animals that are expecting babies are fed according to one list, and mothers who have delivered their babies are fed according to a different list to address their changing needs.” Inside nature centers, exhibit animals were fed and cared for as usual by trained park staff during the shutdown. All are alive and well and ready to receive visitors as soon as the parks open. Summer 2020

VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Friends of Royal Lake Park Volunteer Team
The sense of community is palpable at Royal Lake Park in Fairfax. Here, families can enjoy picnics, expend energy on the playground, play basketball and other sports or just enjoy a leisurely walk along the trail. Until recently the trail ended at the parking lot rather than forming a complete loop around the lake, which put children and families at risk with oncoming vehicles as they made their way to the other side.
“Safety was an issue,” said Sarah Lennon, who lives near the park and is vice president of the Royal Lake Park Volunteer Team (PVT). “We work very closely with the Park Authority Area 4 Manager, Ed Richardson, and he said he’d love to see a trail connection built, and we thought it was a great idea.” That’s when the Royal Lake PVT joined forces with the Park Authority and a 15-year-old Jagger Larson, a Boy Scout, who took on the trail extension plan as his Eagle Scout project. He recruited more than 50 volunteers including friends, neighbors and church members to work alongside the Royal Lake PVT and the Park Authority’s Area 4 crew. On October 12, 2019, the group created the new the new trail segment and spread 44 tons of gravel to ensure safe passage for park patrons running or walking along the lake.
“The best thing was seeing people walk the trail even as we were finishing it up,” Larson said during the ribbon cutting ceremony. “It was really cool.” Lennon says scouting groups and the Area 4 crew have also been involved with other Royal Lake PVT trail projects, such as steep areas that some park users found difficult to navigate.
“Ed taught the scouts how to use a pickaxe to dig out areas and install steps,” she recalled, “which now makes it easier for older folks to get around. Handrails are next to help people who need extra help with stability going up and down the trail.” From park and trail maintenance to regularly scheduled trash cleanup days, the Royal Lake PVT takes pride in their local park. Lennon says it’s about getting things done to enhance the community’s quality of life. “We all need to do our part,” she said.

Adapted Recreation Programs
ADA/Inclusion Support
In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fairfax County is committed to giving all residents equal access to recreational opportunities. Park Authority activities, programs, camps and classes are inclusive, and reasonable accommodations are available for people with disabilities. ADA accommodations include sign interpreters, assistive listening devices, program modifications and inclusion support. To request accommodations, or for more information about adapted program opportunities, call (703) 324-8563. The Park Authority makes every attempt to provide accommodations; however, fulfillment of requests received with less than 10 days’ notice cannot be guaranteed.
Facility Accessibility
The Fairfax County Park Authority offers parks and facilities that are accessible to all Fairfax County residents. For information on accessible features or issues associated with usage, call (703) 324-8563 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.
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 Adapted Aquatics Coordinator at (703) 324-8565. For safety reasons and to ensure 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.
Practice and Repetition are keys to success
Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills. 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.

Aquatics Fairfax County Park Authority aquatic facilities offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and aquatic interests. Monthly calendars listing pool hours are available at the Park Authority’s nine RECenters and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.
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 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 several 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. .

Please see High School Swim & Dive Teams section for information regarding high school swim and dive schedules. For the most up-to-date pool closure information, please check the online aquatics calendar at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks, or contact your nearest RECenter.
Practice Healthy Swimming Habits
Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool to be closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Department standards recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • 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 and take 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.

One-on-One Swim Lessons (3-Adult) Children must leave parent willingly, be comfortable in the water, and be able to follow simple directions. Private swim lessons are a great way to improve swimming skills and water safety techniques of any level. With one-on-one swim lessons, an instructor can spend more time helping overcome obstacles which may require more time or dedication than a standard swim lesson. Senior discount does not apply to these lessons. See website for details and times.

Small-Group Lessons RECenters now offer small-group lessons. This new lesson option complements the Park Authority’s other swim instruction offerings: • Private Lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer one-on-one instruction solely based on the student’s skill level. • Semi-private lessons for students ages 3 to adult offer instruction between two participants of similar ability and one instructor. • Small-group lessons offer the same curriculum as the larger, traditional group lessons but to a smaller group of swimmers. Small-group lessons lower student-to-teacher ratios, offer more personalized instruction and more practice time than largegroup lessons. Traditional group lessons offer a comprehensive curriculum for participants ranging in age from 6 mos. to adult.

DONOR PROFILE
Michael Doherty, Fairfax Memorial
As president of Fairfax Memorial Park Cemetery and Funeral Home, Michael Doherty is accustomed to helping people through some of life’s most challenging times. So when he received a call about a crisis that threatened to cancel some of life’s better times, he welcomed the opportunity to help. “Sharon Bulova, who was then the Braddock District Supervisor, called and explained that a major Summer Entertainment Series donor had been bought by an international company, and it was pulling its sponsorship for Braddock Nights,” Doherty recalled. “She wanted to know if we could help, and that’s how it started. She invited us to support the series, and we have enjoyed supporting it ever since.”
Since 2003, Fairfax Memorial has made substantial contributions to the Park Authority’s popular Summer Entertainment Series, which provides weekly concerts, movies and children’s entertainment in parks at no charge to public audiences. Funding is provided by corporate and private donors through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. This year, Fairfax Memorial decided to increase its contribution to support both the evening concerts and a new Braddock District children’s Arts in the Parks entertainment series initiated by Supervisor James Walkinshaw.
“We’re a part of the community here, and we want to stay involved in the community and continue supporting programs,” Doherty said. “My family has attended the concerts, and my father always enjoyed the symphony when he was alive. The entertainment is for all ages, and it makes for a beautiful evening in the park.” Turn to the Events section to check out our virtual performances this year.

Burke Lake Golf Center Gets National Recognition
Out of thousands of public golf facilities in the country, Burke Lake Golf Center finds itself in elite company on a list of the 50 best public golf facilities in the country. For the second year in a row, the Burke Lake Golf Center made Golf Range Magazine’s list, which includes public facilities that have hosted some of golf ’s legendary players. “It’s a bit of a feather in our cap to be recognized in a national publication among some of golf ’s heavy hitters, and it punctuates the Park Authority’s decision to raise the standard of excellence by renovating Burke Lake Golf Center” said manager Lewis Musolf. “We’ve worked hard to provide men, women and children with a variety of opportunities to learn how to play golf, to practice and increase their skill level and to enjoy the social aspects of the game.”
Golf Range Magazine is a publication of the Golf Range Association of America (GRAA) and the Professional Golfers Association (PGA). The annual Top 50 list honors public ranges and practice facilities whose accomplishments have stood out over the past year by welcoming and developing golfers of all abilities. This year, Burke Lake is on the list with The Greenbriar, the first course to host the world’s best men and women professional players in The Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup. Also on the list are Chambers Bay, host of the 2015 U.S. Open, and TPC Sawgrass, home of the Pro Golfers Association (PGA) Tour and host of one of its signature events the Players Championship. GRAA recognized Burke Lake Golf Center for its programs for players of all levels including juniors and women, for developing new classes and summer camps, and for its expansive, double-decker driving range featuring 64 lighted stations, 24 of which are heated for year-round practice. Burke Lake Golf Center offers players of all abilities opportunities to learn, practice and play. To learn more, call the course at (703) 323-1641.

Dog parks are open year-round from 7 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset on weekends and Federal holidays. 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.
