Parkside A New Day Dawns for Burke Lake Golf Center When I started working at Burke Lake Golf Center in 1997, a 21-year-old phenom named Tiger Woods took the industry by storm winning The Masters by an amazing 12 strokes, the widest margin of victory the tournament had ever seen, and became the year’s leading money winner on the PGA Tour. His incredible story sparked widespread interest in the game, and Burke Lake Golf Center was a popular Fairfax County destination for play and lessons. Over time and with Fairfax County’s explosive growth, the demand became more than the center could effectively meet, and players sometimes had to wait up to an hour to use the driving range. Next year will be different. Next year, Burke Lake Golf Center will open a new, double-decker driving range with heated stations enabling practice and Burke Lake Golf Academy lessons year-round. By the end of next year, a new clubhouse with a pro shop and separate dining facility will offer enhanced service to customers before, during and after their round. Next year will bring expanded opportunities for non-golfers, too, as they stop in to enjoy the picturesque setting while socializing with friends over a meal or a cup of coffee. It’s all very exciting, and we can’t wait to welcome customers to our new venue. The changes at Burke Lake Golf Center have been planned for a long time, and residents who voted for the 2008 and 2012 park bonds are to thank for making them a reality. It is clear that Fairfax County residents value parks, and we are grateful for their investment in our site – the first major investment in nearly 50 years. We’re looking forward to the new facilities 2017 will bring and to providing expanded service to all of our customers.

Construction is underway on the Burke Lake Golf Center renovations.

The old open air range (below) will be replaced with a double-decker range that allows golfers to opt for cover and temperature control.

Big changes are coming to Burke Lake Golf Center! By fall 2017, the site will feature new, updated facilities including a double-decker, 64-station driving range with 24 covered and heated stations that will accommodate practice and classes through cold winter days. A rentable area with indoor seating and television screens will also be available for business functions. “This has been a long time in coming,” said Burke Lake golf manager Lewis Musolf, who has worked at the course since 1997. “The old range had 40 traditional open, uncovered stations, and because of demand, it was sometimes hard for customers to get in practice time on the range, especially during weekends and evenings. The new expanded facility will be much more accommodating with additional practice opportunities for our customers year-round.” Burke Lake Golf Center opened in 1970 at a time when golf’s greatest player

In the 1970s, legendary golfers Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Nancy Lopez inspired people to learn to play golf, and public courses like Burke Lake Golf Center opened to meet the demand. and the sport’s most popular player dominated the headlines in one of golf’s greatest rivalries. “The Golden Bear,” Jack Nicklaus, was in his prime then, just eight years after dethroning “The King” Arnold Palmer for the first time in an 18-hole, U.S. Open playoff that still resonates today with golf’s most passionate fans. Legendary women’s player Nancy Lopez also became a household name as she dominated the LPGA tour and inspired girls to learn to play golf in the decade that expanded sports opportunities for female athletes through Title IX of the Federal Education Amendments Act. Public demand for playing facilities grew, and Burke Lake Golf Center quickly became a Fairfax County favorite place to play. Just as time takes its toll on any athlete’s abilities, the aging Burke Lake Golf Center has faced its challenges in recent years. Thanks to 2008 and 2012 park bond funding, the center will soon be revitalized with 21st century amenities. The 18-month construction plan is already underway with utility infrastructure improvements that will support a new clubhouse and its updated dining area, a new pro shop and Wi-Fi access from the buildings to the driving range. “The existing clubhouse will remain open until we are able to move into the new building,” Musolf said. “The long-range plan is to build a dedicated putting green, and make the existing shared putting/chipping green a dedicated chipping green.” The outdoor patio will also be moved to the northeast side of the clubhouse and away from the hot, setting sun so that summer outings can end with comfortable outdoor dining. Construction is expected to be complete by Oct. 2017. The golf course at Burke Lake will remain open throughout the construction process. You can follow Burke Lake Golf Center’s construction progress at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/golf/blgc.

New Observatory Offers Clear View of the Night Sky From the Big Dipper to galaxies far, far away, the new roll-top observatory at Turner Farm gives you the power to see the night sky in a whole new realm. The observatory features a retractable roof that allows you to gaze at the stars from the classroom through three powerful, permanently mounted telescopes. “When I saw Andromeda through that telescope with that 10-inch lens, it took me half an hour to get from one end [of the constellation] to the other,” said Charles Olin, a founding member of the Analemma Society, during the observatory’s grand opening celebration in October. The observatory location in Great Falls, Va. is one of the darkest in Fairfax County, which gives you the clearest views of constellations, planets and other scientific wonders of the universe. The new observatory is the result of a collaboration between the Park Authority and the Analemma Society, which began in 2007. The million-dollar facility was funded in part by the 2008 and 2012 park bonds, telecommunication funds, Mastenbrook grants and private donations from Jean and Ric Edelman through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. Astronomy classes at Observatory Park at Turner Farm are now being offered. To learn more about the classes and for the story behind the telescopes, turn to the Nature and Science section. To learn more about public Analemma Society members Alan star-gazing events, visit the Figgatt and Charles Olin chat Analemma Society website: beside the new telescope during the analemma.org. roll-top observatory dedication. 7

Get Maximum Results

If you’re like many people, you’ll resolve to be fit in the New Year, or maybe you’ll resolve to shape up for spring break, or for swimsuit season or for a special occasion. Setting your personal fitness goals is a great step in the right direction. Working with a personal trainer helps keep you motivated and accountable to effectively attain those goals more quickly than you would on your own. Stephanie Collins started working out once a week with a certified personal trainer at Oak Marr RECenter last March for a very simple reason. “I wanted to slim down for a trip to the beach and I didn’t feel motivated,” said the Vienna, Va. mother of two. “I felt like I was in a rut and wanted someone to set me in the right direction, to make sure I was using correct form and to keep me motivated.” Now, thanks to the help of certified personal trainer Cindy Ford, Collins says she’s achieved goals that may have seemed out of reach for her before she started training just eight months ago. “I ran in my son’s elementary school 5K race, and Cindy trained me through that,” Collins said. With stoked confidence, Collins set her next goal – to run in a 10mile race. “I asked Cindy, ‘Am I crazy to think I can do this?’” With the help of her personal trainer, Collins declared ‘mission accomplished’ when she crossed the Army 10-Miler finish line in October. “One of the biggest benefits of personal training is building confidence to achieve your goals,” said Ford, who is both a certi8

fied personal trainer and fitness class instructor at Oak Marr RECenter. “It’s about listening to the client, assessing whether their goals are realistic and giving them the guidance and the confidence to attain those goals.” As a result of personal training, Collins says she is stronger, has greater endurance and remains motivated to stick with the program. “I wasn’t good at doing it alone, and Cindy keeps me honest,” she said. She also appreciates having access to a service in Park Authority RECenters that she once thought was out of reach to her. “I had been a member of other [commercial] gyms. Personal training was financially unattainable to me there, and I wasn’t getting what I needed from classes,” she said. “The fitness classes here [at RECenters] 8 Benefits of are good and personal trainPersonal Training ing is affordable.

Lake Fairfax Pump Track Now Open!

Expend some energy with pedal power on the new pump track at Lake Fairfax Park! The facility located near the soccer fields opened in October to the delight of bike enthusiasts of all ages. A pump track is a small looping bicycle trail system that riders navigate by pumping with their arms and legs rather than pedaling. It can be ridden by cyclists of all skill levels, and almost any bicycle will work. All you really need is a bike with knobby tires and a safety helmet. It’s a great workout and lots of fun! There’s still time for you to take your wheels for a spin before the pump track closes for the winter on Dec. 15. If you can’t make it by then, don’t worry. It will open again April 1, 2017. The pump track was developed and funded by the non-profit Mid-Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts (MORE, Inc.), with significant contributions from The Bike Lane and support from the Fairfax County Park Foundation.

Discovery Trail Leads to New Bikes for Three Lucky Kids! “Hey, that color matches my mom’s bike helmet,” exclaimed 3-year-old Orson Matheson of Falls Church, Va., as he excitedly gazed at the shiny new bike he won in the Park Authority’s Discovery Trail Map – Presidential Edition drawing. Matheson, 10-year-old Maya Raza of Springfield, Va. and 10-year-old Luke Ewell of Washington, D.C. were declared the winners after their names were selected in the drawing in September, and each received a new bicycle and safety helmet donated by Spokes, Etc. in October. A total of 657 children were entered in the drawing after visiting at least eight of 12 featured Fairfax County parks this past summer. All children who visited at least eight sites received a prize pack full of tickets to park amusements such as mini golf, boat rides, carousel and train rides and camping valued at $93. The Discovery Trail Map summer children’s activity was co-sponsored by the Fairfax County Park Foundation. 9

Instructors and students join forces to reach goals of confidence, independence and skill in the water in Adapted Aquatics classes.

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.

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. 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, 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.

The Four S’s of Water Safety:

Supervision Secure Swim Safe

Each child should be directly supervised by an adult, even in the presence lifeguards. Non swimmers should be within reach of the supervising adult at all times. Secure your private pool with a locking fence. Learn how to swim well. The Fairfax County Park Authority offers a wide variety of swimming and water safety classes. Swim in safe areas only. It is ideal to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard.

Swimming Classes – Children Pee Wee Paddler I

All group-lesson students are entitled to free rental skates for use during lessons and practice sessions. • Although there are no equipment requirements except as noted in Hockey 1 and up, head protection (hockey or biking helmets), knee and elbow protection are strongly recommended.
