Fairfax County Park Authority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best For the fourth time in its 70-year history, the Fairfax County Park Authority has attained the Gold Medal Award from the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration (AAPRA) and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The Gold Medal Class 1 award honors the best park and recreation agency in the country with a population of 400,000 or more. It is the highest level of national recognition and honors communities throughout the United States that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, resource management and innovative approaches to delivering superb park and recreation services with fiscally sound business practices. It is a crowning achievement of which all Fairfax County residents can be proud.

One of the main reasons our park system continues to attain this pinnacle of public service and accomplishment is the tremendous public support we receive year after year. It is no easy task managing nearly 24,000 acres of parkland, but with the can-do spirit of our community ranging from our highly skilled staff, our network of enthusiastic volunteers, our supportive appointed and elected officials and our loyal customers, we are able to sustain our extraordinary park system at a high level of excellence. In turn, we carefully manage our resources in our dayto-day operations. To date, 66 percent of all park operating budgets are generated from user fees rather than from taxpayer dollars.

The Park Authority faced stiff competition from across the nation including the three other gold medal finalists from Chicago, Illinois; East Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Mesa, Arizona. Many of Fairfax County's notable accomplishments are highlighted in our park system's application video, which you can see online: http://bit.ly/FCPAGoldMedal. On behalf of the Fairfax County Park Authority, thank you for your continued support in making our parks the nation's best!

Volunteers help little ones select from a wide selection of gifts priced for a child-sized budget while parents wait at the Old Floris Schoolhouse next door.

Four lucky participants in this year’s Discovery Trail Map summer fun promotion are all smiles after winning a new bicycle and safety helmet donated by Spokes, Etc. and Trek through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. This year’s grand prize winners were among 1,300 people who qualified for the bike drawing by visiting eight of the 12 featured parks. They are Yun Kang, 47, of Arlington; Tanner Polsgrove, 13, of Vienna; Liv Holm, 2, of Alexandria and Omar Ziadeh, 11, of Springfield. The winners received their bikes on Oct. 14, 2019 during a presentation at the Spokes, Etc. store in Fairfax. This year’s transportation-themed Discovery Trail Map led to more than 18,000 park visits from people ranging in age from 2 to 92. Everyone who entered the drawing received a prize packet valued at $93, which included tickets to park amusements such as camping, mini golf and boat, train and carousel rides. Participants also enjoyed their encounters with our Park Authority astronaut and rocket ship commemorating this year’s 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

EXPERIENCE the

Restorative Power of a

NEW YEAR HIKE Joon Chang, Jan. 1, 2019

This time last year, Faith Chang wasn’t sure what the future would hold for her family. Her husband, Joon, had just returned home in a wheelchair after suffering a debilitating leg injury in a mountain biking accident on Aug. 4, 2018. It required multiple surgeries, bone and skin grafts, an extended hospital stay and inpatient rehabilitation. By Thanksgiving, Joon faced several more months of in-home physical therapy, and the typically outdoorsy Chang family was slowly adjusting to the realities of its new normal. “We were homebound; especially him,” Faith recalled solemnly. “We love to go kayaking, biking and hiking as a family, and we missed being outdoors.” Faith’s glimmer of hope came on New Year’s Day, 2019 when she, Joon, their daughter, Isabella, and their extended family participated in the Park Authority’s First Hike Fairfax promotion that encourages Fairfax County residents to start the new year the right way with a walk in a park. Joon was starting to feel better, and Faith chose Huntley Meadows Isabella, Joon and Faith Chang, Sept. 22, 2019 Park for their first outdoor excursion since the accident nearly five months earlier. As Isabella pushed her father’s wheelchair along the boardwalk, Faith saw nature’s restorative power work its magic on Joon. “Being in the park and enjoying nature can do wonders for your mind, and it really lifted his spirits to enjoy the fresh air,” Faith said enthusiastically. “Once he was out there, he listened to nature and the birds and had forgotten how nice it is. It was the first time I really saw him smile since before the accident, and it was very therapeutic for all of us.” The park visit was one giant step on the long road to recovery, and the family commemorated the moment with the snapshot they entered in the online First Hike photo contest (Partakes cover photo). Since then, Joon has progressed from a cast and a wheelchair to a boot and a cane, and he expects his long road to recovery to end next summer when he reaches his goal to walk on his own again. Until then, the Chang family plans to enjoy many more walks in Fairfax County parks, including a reflective first hike on New Year’s Day, 2020. Experience the restorative power of a New Year hike for yourself. Submit your First Hike photo for a chance to win one of several prizes. Check the web in December for details: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/first-hike 66

Line Dancing Class

Leads Spring Hill Students to Senior Olympics

Line dancing may conjure up images of synchronized dancing to western music, but you’ll find all genres of music spanning multiple decades in Spring Hill RECenter’s line dancing class. Instructor Kristen Pierce says the forum gives her an opportunity to combine her love of dancing with her work as a fitness instructor. “I’ve danced all my life, and when I started teaching fitness classes, I missed dancing,” she said. “This class allows me to combine my job with my passion.” Pierce’s passion quickly spread among line dancing students of all ages, including 81-year-old Betty Fraser of Vienna. She started taking the class a year ago and quickly became a fan. “It’s uplifting,” she said enthusiastically. “You don’t know you’re exercising; you’re having fun!” This class is so much fun, Fraser and six other students took it a step further and joined Pierce in the line-dancing competition at this year’s Northern Virginia Senior Olympics. After weeks of practice, the team of women ranging in age from 50-something to 80-something dazzled the crowd at the September competition. Donning poodle bobby socks, red polka-dotted chiffon scarves and other iconic costume items of the 50s era, their team, Spring Lightning, performed a lively line dance to the song Greased Lightning from the movie “Grease.” In a field of eight competing teams, Spring Lightning won the silver medal. “It was fun to be able to do that,” said 76-year-old Anne Wish of Fairfax. “We have a pretty together team, and it’s been an experience, for sure!” In line dancing, a group of people is arranged in one or more rows and performs a choreographed sequence of steps in unison without coming into physical contact with one another. One of the reasons why many people love the activity so much is because most of the dances are very easy to learn. The main reason students stick with Pierce’s Spring Hill line dancing class is it’s just plain fun. “It’s good exercise and good for the mind, coordination and camaraderie,” Wish said. “Kristen is a wonderful, patient teacher, and I just love the class.” The Park Authority offers a wide variety of dance classes. To find a class that suits you, turn to the Dance section. Winter 2020

Buddy System Motivates Fitness Success Stop into the Lee District RECenter fitness room most any weekday morning, and you’re bound to notice a group of fitness buddies shaping up together. At the center of it all is 59-year-old Jeanie Ford, a plainspeaking, former hairdresser who has a knack for motivating others. In addition to her own fitness routine, she finds it rewarding to help others keep moving. “Dedication, determination and no excuses,” has been her mantra since she was in her mid 30s and got serious about her own diet and exercise regimen. “I was tired of being fat,” she said with brutal honesty. “I lost 80 lbs. 22 years ago, and I have kept it off.” Once Ford started to see her own fitness results, she encouraged another lady in her apartment complex to join her at the RECenter. Phyllis Weissman, now 78, says having Ford as a fitness buddy during her twicea-week workouts changed her life. “If it weren’t for her, I don’t think I would have lost 60 lbs.; maybe half of that,” she said. “In the beginning, I really needed a partner. I had a lot of aches and pains, and I could hardly walk. Now my knees don’t hurt, my cardiologist says I have the blood pressure of a 40-year-old and because I lost so much weight, my endocrinologist says I need less medicine to regulate my underactive thyroid.” Studies show that those who work out with a friend, a spouse or a co-worker enjoy the exercise more than if they pumped iron by themselves. You’re also less likely to talk yourself out of going to the gym if you know a buddy is expecting you to be there, and the accountability helps you meet your goals more quickly than if you go it alone. “I think it’s vital to have a workout buddy,” said Sharon Feltman, 77, who has been friends with Ford for more than a decade. “I’ve lost more than 50 lbs., and if it hadn’t been for Jeanie, I wouldn’t have stayed on track.” One of the newest members of the buddy group is Gary Nazelrod, a 71-year-old retired software engineer who became a RECenter member in April. “I saw Jeanie helping other people, and I asked her about it,” he recalled. “I wouldn’t push myself as much if I were working out by myself, and she keeps me motivated.” For this group, the RECenter is more than just a gym. It’s a supportive network of friends that makes fitness fun. “We all support each other for physical activity and socializing, and it helps to know somebody else cares,” Ford said. “We’re like a family here. It’s like our second home.” 8

RECenters offer fitness options for people of all ages, and memberships go on sale Jan. 1. For details, turn to page 60 in the Fitness section. Winter 2020

Ask the Trainer

Laurie Strickland

Fitness Director, South Run RECenter

When it comes to weight training, which gives you a bigger fitness benefit: Completing three sets on one machine before moving to the next one in the circuit, or moving from machine to machine after one set and completing the circuit three times? -Karen T., Vienna The short answer is it depends. To get the best growth and development in a muscle group, you should do three sets of a weight-training exercise with an appropriate amount of rest between sets. The goal is to reach muscle fatigue/failure by the end of a set with a weight setting that is heavy enough to challenge you, but not so heavy that it compromises good form. As a general rule: 1. 8-12 repetitions around 45 – 60 seconds rest. 2. 15 and higher repetitions 30 seconds rest. 3. Below 8 repetitions you’ll need more recovery so you can lift the next set so maybe 2-3 minutes. You can also make your workout more efficient by “super setting,” or using two different weight-training machines consecutively to allow an appropriate amount of time between sets for both muscle groups. For example, you could do a set on the leg extension machine and then immediately switch to a machine that works another muscle group, like arms, and alternate back and forth until you get to three sets on each machine. Not only does this give each muscle group the appropriate amount of time to rest between sets, it keeps your heart rate up, burns more calories and saves you time at the gym! Laurie Strickland is an accomplished former body builder and certified personal trainer. Got a question for the trainer, email Parkmail@fairfaxcounty.gov and write Ask the Trainer in the subject line. Fall 2019

Enjoy the Sully historical exhibits and candlelight tours while you can. As the sun sets on this year’s holiday memories, the main house at Sully Historic Site will close for structural repairs and maintenance. Beginning Jan. 2, 2020, the exhibits, artifacts and furniture will be moved to make way for work crews to perform structural repairs and maintenance. “Sully receives 25,000 visitors a year, and that volume of people takes a toll on the property over time,” manager Carol McDonnell said. “Once the interior repairs, plaster, paint, flooring, electrical upgrade and other details are complete, the house will continue to look as it did in 1794, just stronger and in better shape.” Though the main house will be closed from January through May, the outbuildings -- kitchen, laundry, smokehouse, dairy, slave quarters and visitor center -- will remain open for tours and business. The main house repairs are being funded by the 2016 park bond. There’s still time to enjoy a holiday program or tour before the house closes Dec. 31. For details, turn to the History section.

Adapted Recreation Adapted Recreation Services

ADA/Inclusion Support

In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Fairfax County is committed to giving all citizens equal access to recreation and leisure 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 of 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.

Adapted Aquatics The Park Authority’s award-winning Adapted Aquatics program offers individualized swimming and water activity instruction for individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities. The program’s structured setting is ideal for individuals who aren’t ready to learn basic swim skills in a general recreation environment.

Winter 2020

Classes are conducted by certified instructors and trained volunteers to support a low student-to-instructor ratio. For more information, call (703) 324-8565.

Aquatics Aquatics The Fairfax County Park Authority’s 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

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.

U.S. Swimming, Synchronized Swimming or Dive Meets

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 https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/recenter/ swimming, 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.

NEW! One-on-One Swim Lessons 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.

Swim Classes for Children Baby & Me Swim

DONOR PROFILE

Chris Doherty

I-66 Express Mobility Partners

Anyone who has traveled the I-66 corridor in Chantilly recently is well aware of the ongoing construction project that will widen the road and transform the way people get around. I-66 Express Mobility Partners is behind the multi-year highway project, and parks are a big part of the 2022 vision.

“In addition to the express lanes, we’re constructing up to 18 miles of shared-use trails for bicycles and pedestrians that will connect with existing and planned trail networks in Fairfax County,” said Corporate Affairs Director Chris Doherty. “A few spots will run along I-66.”

Picnic and Shelter Rentals

Doherty says the company is also passionate about being good stewards of the environment and giving back to the community. As it works to enhance the region’s transportation network, it is also taking steps to preserve the watershed, to improve parkland and to provide recreational opportunities to people who live near the construction zone. “Our employees participated in a clean-up event in the Cub Run RECenter and assembled back to school supply kits for local elementary students, and over time we will be even more involved with community-oriented activities,” Doherty said.

I-66 Express Mobility Partners made a substantial contribution this year to the Fairfax County Park Foundation to support the Park Authority’s popular Starlight Cinema summer movie series at Trinity Center in Centreville. The outdoor venue is the perfect setting for the family friendly entertainment series, which harkens back to the days of drive-in movies.

The Fairfax County Park Authority has a variety of park settings perfect for hosting your next birthday party, family reunion, company picnic, or sports banquet. To make your reservation, please see our online availability calendars and download our picnic application at fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/picnics For more information, contact the Park Authority’s centralized picnic reservation line at (703) 324-8732. 58

“It seemed like a logical thing for us to get involved with, a drive-in movie, as we work to improve people’s driving experience,” Doherty said. “Even after the I-66 construction is complete, we’re going to be around for another 45 years to manage the express lanes, and we’ll continue to be a good neighbor by supporting STEM education and the environment, including parks.” For the latest information on the I-66 project, visit 66expresspartners.com, and to learn how you can support Fairfax County parks, visit www.fairfaxparkfoundation.org.

Ice Skating Ice Skating Ice skating classes:

• Offered at Mt. Vernon RECenter and at Fairfax Ice Arena. • Students should report 15 minutes before class and be ready to go on the ice at class time. • Prior to the first class, students should attend a public session to become accustomed to the ice and to determine proper skate fitting. • Recommended clothing is a sweater or jacket, knit hat, gloves or mittens and warm, comfortable slacks. • Ice skating classes include free admission to public skating sessions equal to the number of classes. 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.

WHICH LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Two different instructional progressions are used for lessons, USFSA (Skate with US – Snowplow Sam, Basic, Freestyle, Adult) and ISI (Ice Skating Institute – Tot, Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta). The Park Authority offers the full progression of classes for USFSA and the ISI introductory-level classes for each age group. *Students in one progression may change to the other progression at the appropriate skating level by using the chart below.

Doing More with Specialists

The Park Authority contracts with specialists in different areas to offer a broad range of programs and times to skate. Service partners who rent the ice at the Mt. Vernon RECenter include • Youth and Adult Hockey Leagues/Clubs • Adult drop-in hockey • Figure Skating Clubs • Special Olympics A list of these organizations is available online: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/recenter/mountvernon/ice-arena.

The skills are like those in Snowplow Sam 1 except that adults and children stay together on the ice for the whole class.
