Recreation is for EVERYONE!
For most of us, being able to participate in activities or sports or events is a given. We hardly ever think about the details of accessibility and inclusion. However, the staff in the Park Authority’s Access and Inclusion group keep it close at hand and top of mind at all times. There are exciting things going on with new offerings, new programs and a new logo that makes it much easier to identify the Adapted programs offered by the Park Authority. With the assistance of five dedicated interns from George Mason University, Access and Inclusion is providing support to summer campers in need of accommodations. The staff created sensory kits with fidget toys for campers and also trained camp counselors so they too could assist campers of all abilities and diverse needs. FCPA water parks now offer Sensory Hours. Our Special Harbor at the Lee District Family Recreation Area and the Water Mine at Lake Fairfax are on the list and during those special hours, loud water features will not run, and capacity levels are reduced. This summer, 43 local swimmers competed in the Special Olympics held at the University of Richmond. These Fairfax County residents made us proud! This past spring, World Autism Awareness Day provided the impetus for a local Anglers with Autism event. The free fishing adventure, complete with lessons and tackle, brought out young people from age 6 to 21 and their families to Lake Fairfax Park. The program was so popular that plans are in place to repeat this event in 2023. With fall comes the return of the Combo Classic Golf Tournament and Clinic at Twin Lake Golf Course. Teams include on individual with a disability who play this wonderful course in Clifton, VA. Find out more details on page 73. As the leaves turn, you can expect an array of new programming and opportunity. New adapted classes from fitness training to birding and ballet. Explore the Adapted Recreation section for more information. Recreation is for everyone and the Park Authority is committed to providing accommodations for all visitors and employees. For more information about our services visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/accessible or call Jennae Asborno 703-324-8727 or Monica Klock at 703-324-8565.

USDGA TOURNAMENT INSPIRES AND CONNECTS This summer, Laurel Hill Golf hosted the U.S. Disabled Golf Association Open. Over 60 golfers from across the country and overseas competed in the 54-hole championship open to golfers with physical and intellectual impairments. This national championship is the first of its kind to obtain world rankings for golfers with disabilities by the United States Golf Association. USDGA founder Jason Faircloth’s vision for the competition stemmed from his desire to compete and his experience with a similar tournament overseas. This event was less about disability and more about the ability to meet and connect, show off talent and have fun. The positive vibe was contagious and that of a competition infused with a family reunion. Young competitor Bailey Bish former University of Arizona adaptive golf team member, shared, “It was incredible, I had a great time meeting new people and hearing everybody’s stories and how people adapted their golf game to fit their abilities.” James “Tip” Tipton, a veteran of 22 years in the U.S. Air Force and long-time golfer, noted what makes this tournament so unique, “I’ve never been so connected to a community as much as I have with my veteran brothers as I am with my disabled community. You will go home with friends that you will have for life.” “This week was an awesome week because of the adaptive athletes that are out here. Just to see the journey that they had to take to get to the here is inspiring. For someone who doesn’t think they can, we want to make sure you know you’re invited,” said competitor Gianna Rojas. Congratulations to all the golfers who competed and to the overall winner, Eliseo Villanueva. Thank you to Visit Fairfax for co-sponsoring the USDGA National Championship and bringing this amazing event to Fairfax County!

OAK HILL OPEN HOUSE Returns In-Person
Take a step back in time with a visit to historic Oak Hill Manor in Annandale. In a special, once-a-year event, this private residence will hold an in-person open house on Saturday, September 17 from noon to 4 p.m. replacing the virtual programs held for the past two years due to the pandemic. This impressive, Georgian style house was constructed circa 1790 on the historic Ravensworth tract by Richard Fitzhugh, a descendant of one of the first land-grant holders in Northern Virginia. The 1940’s brought renovations to the house by renowned restoration architect Walter M. Macomber in the Colonial Revival style. The name “Oak Hill” comes from two large oak trees on the property. In 2004, Oak Hill was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In the same year, the Fairfax County Park Authority, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust and Seville Homes agreed to a historic and conservation easement to preserve the privately-owned Oak Hill home and property, including 200-year-old boxwoods. Since the property was saved, the community has been invited to visit every year for house tours of the first floor, and the beautiful grounds. Outdoor interpretive programs help educate visitors about the life and times at Oak Hill, including the enslaved individuals who worked at the property and historic incidents from the Civil War. This Open House event is funded via the Fairfax County Park Foundation. For more information about Oak Hill and this year’s open house, please visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/oak-hill.
THE COMBO CLASSIC IS BACK!
COMBO
The Combo Classic returns to Twin Lakes Golf Course, Friday and Saturday, October 7-8. Now in its 28th year (after a brief hiatus), this unique event pairs golfers in teams of two to include a player with a disability in a Captain’s Choice championship. The 36-hole tournament will be played on the Lakes and on the Oaks courses. Golfers from up and down the Returns East Coast come for the competition and the camaraderie that the two-day event offers.
CLASSIC GOLF TOURNAMENT
“This is wonderful news to the members of the Eastern Amputee Golf Association (EAGA). It continues to prove that desire, determination, and heart are what make all the difference in playing the game of golf and leading a full and rewarding life,” said Bob Buck, the Executive Director of EAGA. This year’s event will also feature an Adapted Beginner Clinic for those not quite ready to take it to the course on Friday, October 7 from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Also new this year will be a post-round concert on Friday by Jehovah’s Favorite Choir. Cindy Walsh, Park Services Director, Fairfax County Park Authority, and creator of the Combo Classic quipped, “The vision for the Combo Classic has always been to offer a golf tournament that allows families, friends and neighbors the opportunity to play together in a fun, yet competitive environment regardless of their ability or disability.” A very special thanks to the Fairfax County Park Foundation for their sponsorship and fundraising efforts and long-time tournament partner, Visit Fairfax. To see more about the Combo Classic visit page 73. 3
Acing the Day at Oak Marr Golf Center What started out as a typical day of smack talking on the first tee, turned into a day 13-year-old James Singley would be talking about for a lifetime. With his dad, baseball buddies and golf staff looking on, he hit the ultimate shot, a hole-in-one! “I hit it and thought wow, this is a great shot, best ever, it just kept rolling and went in,” Singley recalled vividly. James is an avid baseball and basketball player. However, over the last few years, he took his love of mini golf to the golf course and began to see a different side of the game. “Golf is fun. When I was younger, I thought it was boring, but going with friends is a good way to connect,” he noted. He had some encouraging advice for future and new golfers as well, “Go to the driving range and start out there. A lot of people have played mini golf, so they know how to putt. Work on your swing.” Even though James accomplished what most golfers only dream of, he kept it humble, when asked if he thought he’d ever be able to hit a repeat, he smiled and said, “Not sure, maybe in 50 years. I think I got a lucky roll.” To learn more about Junior Golf Fairfax visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/golf/junior.
AIM HIGHER WITH ARCHERY There’s more to archery than sharp arrows and a bullseye in the middle of a target. It’s a fixture of history and literature. Namely, Robin Hood has been a popular hero for centuries, and although he might be a character of legends and myths, the immense skill and practiced precision of shooting a bow and arrow can be very real. Jake Beighle was 14 years old when he arrived at his first archery class at Burke Lake Park with instructor Richard Renner. Since then, Beighle has continued to competitive archery. He’s earned eight Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) pins and is currently pursuing his advanced level Olympian bronze pin. Beighle is certainly showing us that through dedication and persistence, anyone can achieve the greatness of legends. Find out about archery in the parks at www.fairfaxcounty. gov/parks/burke-lake, or call 703-324-8671. 4
Farm Harvest Days are Back at Frying Pan Farm Park
Apple cider, carnivals and family fun—fall has officially arrived! And the Park Authority is thrilled to announce the return of a local favorite at Frying Pan Farm Park. “I am more than excited to welcome back fall festivities on the farm!” said Park Manager Nicole Mitchell. “Join us this year as we work together to bring back Farm Harvest Days!” Over the third weekend of the month, October 14-16, 2022, this community event will bring family and friends together over delicious food, activities from another era and general fun. This jam-packed weekend will allow you to meet adorable animals, try your hand at shelling corn and apple peeling and enjoy many games and rides as well. “Of all the fun activities we do on Farm Harvest Days, by far my favorite is when we fire up our cider press!” historic farm educator Sean Redmiles said. This is a popular fixture of the event, indeed, and it’s one that everyone is sure to enjoy. After all, it’s not every day you can toss buckets of apples into such a massive machine and watch in awe as rivers of apple juice pour out of it. So, mark your calendars, and join us on the farm this fall. Farm Harvest Days is sponsored by the Friends of Frying Pan Farm Park and the Fairfax County Park Foundation.
Dive Into Fitness with Fun Water Workouts
Splish and splash your way to a healthy mind and body with aqua fitness! The Park Authority Rec Centers offer a wide range of classes you are sure to enjoy and benefit from, especially if you suffer from frequent joint pain during workouts on land. “Doctors are realizing water exercise is probably the best thing you can do, especially as we start to get older,” George Washington Rec Center instructor and aquatic therapist Kathy La Sauce said. La Sauce started learning aqua exercise herself after a medical diagnosis late in her impressive career as a United States Air Force Pilot. “I have some balance issues so for me the water is the safest place for me to do anything.” It’s true—water exercises improve cardiovascular stamina, strength and flexibility. “By using the resistance of the water, people can build strength. By knowing how to do an exercise, you can build strength in your abdominal muscles, and it’s the abdominal muscles that support the spine,” La Sauce explained. “It’s amazing what the water can do to keep your body strong.” Nervous about plunging into aqua fitness? Check out our free Aqua Flex event on November 5, 2022, to see for yourself what everyone is raving about! Find more information at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/reccenter/swimming.

FEARLESS FEST Every October, families visiting Hidden Oaks during Fear-less Fest have experienced a natural wonder --- nocturnal “wildlife” raising their voices to complain about their undeserved scary reputations! Once a year, naturalists guide small groups along a dark trail where the intrepid explorers happen upon a five-foot flying squirrel, a six-foot raccoon or even a sweet, oversized skunk who explains how humans just misunderstand their unusual ways. Animals active at night have different adaptations than daytime creatures, enabling them to get a meal or to keep from being a meal. Some are predators, such as the loud barred owl. Others are prey, such as the tuneful skunk that just wants to be left alone. Naturalists explain that the animals may have their own opinion on how they affect humans. The black widow spider may not be quite as innocent as she lets on! While waiting for their nighttime walk, program participants will learn about the mysteries of animals through crafts, live animal presentations and a wildlife skull display. Though the wild animals (and an occasional plant) may slightly s-t-r-e-t-c-h the facts, all visitors to this unusual nighttime gathering gain a different perspective of the challenges facing creatures that prowl the night. For more information about Fearless Fest, please turn to the Nature section.

Something remarkable happens every autumn as millions of monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to Mexico for the winter. Bring the whole family to Hidden Oaks Nature Center as naturalists show butterfly-enthusiasts of all ages how to log information on monarch butterflies and add a unique ¼-inch coded tag to their delicate wings. Naturalist Suzanne Holland notes, “Each time a monarch is released heading to Mexico, the participants cheer with a joyful, ‘Adios Amigo/ Amiga!’”
h c r a n Mo ng Taggi
Our monarch taggers will learn how data collected over the last 25 years have guided community decisions across North and Central America about providing needed habitat for this charismatic species. To find out more about this event, please turn to the Nature section.
HIDDEN GEM
George Washington Rec Center
The Park Authority’s nine Rec Centers offer more than 150 classes to choose from, including exercise classes to accommodate all fitness levels. Although each Rec Center offers unique programs and facilities, George Washington Rec Center may very well be considered a hidden gem -- whose time has come. With the impending closure of neighboring Mount Vernon Rec Center which will undergo a significant renovation and expansion, George Washington will expand services and its hours to accommodate more than its usual crowd next year. Manager David Wyttenbach proudly states, “GW Rec Center is the little recenter with a lot to offer”. You can hear the excitement in his voice as he considers approaching opportunities, “With an assortment of aquatic classes from infants to seniors, several pieces of exercise equipment, tennis courts (with pickleball coming soon!), and the soccer fields tucked back off the road, the park feels like a best kept secret”. From a delightfully unconventional fitness room to a high-end pool, George Washington has options for all ages. Pool aficionados will find the ultimate attraction for swimmers and aqua fitness enthusiasts; a heated indoor pool with a zero-depth beach entry area. Whether you like to swim laps or join a group class, you can exercise in style. One of the great things about this pool is the range of depths. “People need to be in proper depth to get the best benefit,” GW Rec Center instructor and aquatic therapist Kathy La Sauce explained. “People with bad backs need to be in the deeper water so their spines can stretch out.” Learn more about GW at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/reccenter/george-washington.

Honors and Anniversaries Around the Parks Go Ape There was some high-flying news to share with those who love to visit the Go Ape Springfield location, situated in the woods next to South Run Rec Center. Go Ape was named one of the top aerial adventure parks in the country this past summer. In June, USA Today, through their 10Best Awards ranked Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park in the top 5 best aerial adventure operators across North American. Go Ape has programs for the entire family, for children ages five and up and adults as well. Find your adventure at www.goape.com/location/virginia-springfield/
Water Mine A quarter of a century of fun and well over one million guests have helped make the Water Mine Family Swimmin Hole a family favorite in Fairfax County. That’s not just our take on things; that’s the results of the annual Northern Virginia Magazine’s Best of 2022 survey that named the Water Mine the top facility in the region. This year’s 25th anniversary celebration made a splash with fun seekers who turned out in record numbers to float down the lazy river, slide down our giant slide and frolic at the water tables with our smaller guests. Start planning next season’s water park fun with season passes for friends and family, or consider next summers’ employment opportunities at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/watermine The Water Mine is located within Lake Fairfax Park at 1400 Lake Fairfax Drive in Reston, Va.
Lake Accotink Park Even after 60 years, Lake Accotink Park remains untamed. There is a magic to its expansive waters, its loop trails, the animals that call it home and the vibrant fauna and wooded areas that abound. It’s hard to believe that the beltway is less than a mile away. This 493-acre park provides opportunities to relax and enjoy the natural resources. Come for a free concert or to ride the carousel or take a paddle boat onto the lake. In addition to trail systems and waterfront activities Lake Accotink offers many family-friendly activities including, picnic areas, class, camps, and special events. From night kayaking to summer campfires, miniature golf to scout programs, this lake is a family adventure in the making After six decades of operation, this treasure celebrated its anniversary with a special day of ceremonies and programming this past August. Northern Virginia Magazine’s Best of 2022 survey respondents named it the Best Park in the region! With its rich history and connection to those who live nearby, there is little doubt there are good things yet to come. Lake Accotink Park is located at 7500 Accotink Park Road in Springfield, Va.

VOLUNTEER & DONOR PROFILE
Harry Glasgow and Nancy Vehrs
Harry Glasgow and his partner, Nancy Vehrs, are shining examples of volunteers and donors! Harry and Nancy’s long and impressive track record of environmental stewardship includes leadership positions in local organizations, and a personal commitment to stewardship education as evidenced in leading their weekly bird walks at Huntley Meadows Park. Their ongoing and effective advocacy for the protection of natural resources have made a strong impact on our environment and Fairfax County parks. They have generously donated to the Fairfax County Park Foundation including a 2008 Prius that Nancy gave via the Park Foundation’s CARS Vehicle Donation Program. Both Harry and Nancy serve on many boards and environmental groups. They helped create local Master Naturalist chapters, and Harry served as a certified Master Gardener. They have received numerous environmental awards. Harry was the recipient of the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Sally Ormsby Environmental Award and the Elly Doyle Award. Together they were named Conservationists of the Year by a Northern Virginia chapter of Ducks Unlimited. In 2017, Nancy was a local recipient of the Cox Conserves Heroes award. As president of the statewide Virginia Native Plant Society, in 2021 she was recognized nationally for her work and dedication in conservation, education, and native plant initiatives. “After a long career with Fairfax County that left me financially secure, I felt it my duty to give back to my community through volunteer service. I love nature and, once retired in 2012, joined Harry on the Monday morning bird walks at Huntley Meadows. Soon I was assisting him in leadership and record keeping. We also enjoy monitoring Eastern Bluebird nest boxes for the park and this year we have celebrated many broods. Fairfax County has an amazing diversity of natural history parks and we both enjoy visiting them,” stated Nancy. Harry exemplifies the saying “time, treasure and talents”. He served on the Park Foundation’s Board of Directors for more than a decade including service as Treasurer. He continues to serve as the Board Secretary. He maintains active membership in the Friends of Huntley Meadows leading weekly bird watching groups, and 24 serving on the Friends of Huntley Meadows Park Board. Harry also served as vice-chair on the Fairfax County Park Authority Board and chairman of the Tree Commission. Harry continues to demonstrate an ability to connect people with the natural world around them. Harry said, “When I moved to Northern Virginia in 1989, I had no intention on staying after retirement. Then I found Huntley Meadows and fell in love with its birds, animals, reptiles, and flora. Nancy and I have led the Monday morning bird watching group at Huntley for many years and it’s one of our greatest passions. I am committed to protecting our natural world and am active in many environmental activities. My long service on the Park Foundation Board of Directors aligns with my mission of protecting our beautiful parks and world.” Harry and Nancy’s contributions of time, talent and treasure are immeasurable as is their positive impact on Fairfax County Park Authority parks, programs, and projects. Harry and Nancy serve as an example to many through their work as a valued volunteer.

Adapted Recreation All programs and activities will follow current health safety protocols.
Adapted Swimming 2
Adapted Recreation Programs
(6-12 yrs.) Prerequisite: Swimming 1 or equivalent skill proficiency. Students increase confidence and ability to perform swimming skills with and without assistance or flotation devices. Skills include blowing bubbles with face submerged under water, floating on front and back and gliding or swimming at least two body lengths using arms and legs. Parent participation may be required. 4AD 4AE
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 703-324-8727. The Park Authority makes every attempt to provide accommodations; however, fulfillment of requests received with less than 10 days notice cannot be guaranteed.
Follow guidelines when registering
We suggest if it has been a month or longer since a student has participated in a swimming lesson, that they repeat the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the Adapted Program Specialist 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.
Adapted Aquatics Adapted Swimming-Preschoolers (3-5 yrs.) Through play and individual attention, preschoolers and their parents work on adjusting to a new environment. Focus is on entry and exit skills, water safety, blowing bubbles and arm and leg propulsion on the front and back. Parent participation is required. 6--30 minute lessons--$91 Time

Aquatics All programs and activities will follow current health safety protocols.
Aquatics Fairfax County Park Authority aquatic facilities offer something for all ages and levels of swimming ability. Monthly calendars listing pool hours are available at the Park Authority’s nine Rec Centers and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks. Follow guidelines when registering We suggest if it has been a month or longer since a student has participated in a swimming lesson, that they repeat 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 Rec Center. 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. Fairfax Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience.
Swim Classes for Children Baby & Me Swim
(6 mos.-18 mos.) Register your baby for this class designed for babies and their parent(s), or other favorite adult who want to learn water adjustment and aquatic skills together in a fun environment. Learn how to enter and exit the water in a safe manner, feel comfortable in the water and explore submerging to the mouth, nose and eyes. Explore buoyancy on front and back, change body position and learn safety information. Two adults may participate with each child. Babies must wear tight-fitting swim diapers and plastic pants..
Combining course levels When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations. Pool Health Information For more information about practicing healthy swim habits, please visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/ rules/pool/pool-health
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. Lessons are also available for adult swimmers. Senior discount does not apply to these lessons. See website for details and times.

Small-Group Lessons Rec Centers offer small-group lessons. This 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.

“ It was time to retire our green machine.”
Donate your vehicle and help support the mission of the Fairfax County Park Foundation. Not only will you get rid of an unwanted vehicle without the hassle and expense of trying to sell it, you’ll get a tax deduction and the pleasure of supporting your beautiful parks. Donating is fast and easy and vehicle pick-up is free. We accept cars, trucks, boats and motor homes—even if not in operating condition.
“Our 1997 Toyota dependably transported us to many parks and natural areas throughout the country. When the car hit 25 years, it was time to retire our green machine. Like our car, we depend on Fairfax County parks to provide access to adventure and opportunities to explore rich natural areas. So, it was fitting to donate our car to the Park Foundation. Proceeds from the sale of the car will support natural resource management at Huntley Meadows Park, a favorite site.”
- Mona Enquist-Johnston and Gary Johnston
For more information and to schedule free pick-up service, call toll-free 855-500-7433 or visit www.FairfaxParkFoundation.org The Fairfax County Park Foundation is a nonprofit tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
