PARKSIDE

Hello Neighbor!

I’ve lived mostly in Fairfax County since 7th grade and pretty much all over the county during that time. I’ve played and coached soccer on our fields. My daughter’s favorite camp was at Frying Pan Park. My son learned to throw a pot at Audrey Moore, and I remember all too well getting up early when my mom was on vacation to register her for water aerobics. For a time, I lived by Oak Marr and loved the fact that I could work out, drop in for yoga or to do laps, shop at the Farmers Market, play putt-putt, hit a bucket of balls, or look for arrowheads, all in the same place.

I’m super excited to have been selected the new Director of Marketing and Communications for the Fairfax County Park Authority. The Park Authority is a national leader as well as my hometown park agency. I know what makes a good park agency. I was chair of the Parks & Recreation commission in Fairfax City, was the Director of Communications for the National Recreation and Park Association, helped create the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, and most recently held a similar job in Arlington County as Public Relations Director for the Department of Parks & Recreation.

Seriously, you can’t do better than the award-winning Fairfax County Park Authority. We’ve got something for everyone. Beautiful open spaces to wander and improve your mental health. Nearby Rec Centers to improve your physical health. Community-building concerts to connect with your neighbors. Historic sites, nature centers, amazing gardens, I can go on and on as the Park Authority has so much. We even have a safe haven if you are a baby lamb abandoned by your mom (i.e. Ester at Frying Pan). It doesn’t matter your ability; Universal Design ensures everyone has fun at Clemyjontri Park. And we have scholarships so everyone can access our programs.

I’m very excited to share my passion with Fairfax County parks and recreation with you. Best job ever!

CELEBRATE EARTH DAY

Celebrate Earth Day at the largest celebration in Northern Virginia with the Park Authority on Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at Sully Historic Site. Learn to make a “Healthy Planet, Healthy People” through fun, hands-on activities, and games. Visit with vendors and exhibitors to find out how you can make an impact in your home and community. Consult with Master Gardeners and buy plants for your home garden. Enjoy entertainment including live music, a local poetry contest, touch-a-truck, a large obstacle course, historic house tour, animals and more. Sample local cuisine from various food trucks. Earth Day is open to all ages. The event is free; parking is $10 per vehicle. Join the Fairfax County Park Foundation to sponsor this popular event! For more information, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/topics/ earth-day.

Join the City Nature Challenge and earn volunteer hours by participating at local area park locations. Participating in the event is incredibly easy, completely free, and absolutely fun! Participants need only download the iNaturalist app to their smartphone, snap pics of whatever wild species they find and upload the pictures in the app to make an observation. All observations made during the event dates of April 28 - May 1 will be tallied together for our location and results will be revealed on May 8, 2023.

What started in 2016 as a friendly competition between San Francisco and Los Angeles to see which city could gather the most observations of wildlife using the iNaturalist app has grown into an international annual bioblitz event spanning 445 cities across 47 countries. Fairfax County, which is represented as part of the Washington DC Metro Area, ranked 6th place in observations (38,143), 8th place in numbers of species observed (2,970) and 2nd place in total number of participants (2,114) during the 2022 event. This incredible showing was due to Fairfax County resident’s love and appreciation for their abundance of parks, trail systems, and green spaces where a wildlife species reside.

Observations made during the event are collected using the free smartphone app iNaturalist which is a social network of naturalist, biologist and citizen scientists that contribute to the mapping and sharing of biodiversity across the globe. For every observation, a pin is added to a world map indicating the location of the observation. This open-source information is available for all to see and reference to benefit researchers everywhere.

Observations collected during the event provide a massive global snapshot of the natural world and provides an immense amount of data for the scientific community. Casual participants never know what rare natural occurrence they may be documenting when they make their observations which could result in an important find such as a rare animal species, the spread of an introduced species, or a new species altogether!

Colvin Run Mill ENGINEERING THEN & NOW

Do you want to know how things work? Have you ever wondered how engineers use their knowledge and creativity to solve problems? Want to try a little problem-solving yourself?

Join us at Colvin Run Mill for Engineering Then & Now. Come see the 200-year-old mill in operation and explore the work of historic and modern engineers. You can try hands-on activities, talk with engineers from a variety of fields and use sample tools as you learn how today’s engineers are building on the work of engineers of the past to solve problems in the present and future.

Colvin Run Mill is an early Industrial Revolution site, and an example of one person using his mechanical knowledge and ingenuity to solve a problem. The mill at Colvin Run uses the “Oliver Evans system.” In 1872, Evans was unhappy with the inefficient and unsanitary conditions of many gristmills (mills used to grind grain). After much planning and consideration, he redesigned the machinery of milling and, in 1875, he worked with his brothers to build a prototype of his new mill in Delaware. Evans combined old technologies—buckets elevators and Archimedean screws—with his invention, the hopper boy, to design an innovative system that was powered by the mill’s watermill. Using the waterwheel and gravity, a mill using Evans’ system could be run with half the manpower needed for an unimproved mill. Like many new technologies, Evans’ system was soon adopted by other millers—including the one built at Colvin Run. In 1790, the US Patent Office awarded Oliver Evans a patent for his milling technologies. It was one of the first patents the new country issued.

Inventor Oliver Evans wasn’t alone in early America. The 18th and 19th centuries were busy times for engineering. Using growing knowledge of science and mathematics, engineers made improvements in transportation, communication, and construction. Roads, canals, ships, and railroads were built. There were new ways to light buildings and even cities. With telegraphs and telephones, people could communicate across miles. New materials, better tools, and improved surveying changed the buildings where people lived and worked.

Today we also live in a great time for engineering. Engineers research problems or ideas, build on existing technology, design and conduct experiments, and develop innovations. They have successes and sometimes make mistakes. All this engineering leads to new technologies and new ways to use existing technologies.

Want to see it in action? Come to Colvin Run Mill on Saturday, May 20, from 12-3 p.m. Meet “Oliver Evans” and his assistant as they explain how the mill works. See the mill with its machinery and 20-foot waterwheel in operation. Talk to historical engineers and examine 19th century tools and innovations. Watch a film by NASA to understand the links between early technology and the space program. Meet with engineers working today to solve problems and develop new inventions. Use your critical thinking skills and hands to solve problems and challenges. Maybe someday, they’ll be talking about your amazing engineering discovery.

Free Rod Rental Program

Helps Anglers Fish

Independently

For Lake Accotink Park Manager Dan Grulke, it all began with a feeling that not enough kids were fishing. He felt strongly that increased access to fishing for all youngsters and their families, including those with disabilities was vital. He wanted more kids learning about this great outdoor activity and benefiting from the joys of fishing.

After supervising and supporting several free fishing events, Grulke wondered “How can I expand this opportunity to everyone?” He realized this was much bigger than him. He understood how important partners and collaboration would be and began to work with Fish and Explore, as well as Monica Klock, the Park Authority’s Americans with Disabilities (ADA) coordinator. Within months, they developed the first Fishing for Awareness fishing day for families and people with autism.

Grulke began to work with the Virginia Department of Wildlife (VDWR) which had received grant funding from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation. Now there were great ideas and the money necessary to make things happen. As discussions about the possibilities went forward, the partnership expanded. Alex McCrickard, VDWR Aquatic Education Coordinator and others felt that the lack of fishing equipment was an impediment to participation. In response, the idea of free fishing rod rentals at Fairfax County Park Authority Parks took root.

This turned out to be the perfect time to clarify the relationships between FCPA and VDWR. The Fairfax County Park Foundation developed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Lakefronts Supervisor Chris Goldbecker was instrumental in clarifying the process, keeping things from stalling, and getting final approvals. Once the MOU was complete, it became clear that many more people would have the ability to go fishing without having to worry about purchasing fishing gear. Individuals who might not be comfortable in a group setting, such as those with disabilities, could participate on their own and at their leisure.

The program is simple but effective. Burke Lake, Riverbend, Lake Fairfax, and Lake Accotink Parks have all agreed to support the free rod rental program. There are no dues or fees associated with this program. Organizers only ask that participants fill out a short survey about the program, so that in the future they can modify, expand, or change it to better serve our communities. The program is currently in operation at Burke Lake Park and Riverbend Park and will be up and running in March 2023 at Lake Fairfax Park and Lake Accotink Park.

To help facilitate a meaningful fishing experience for anglers, multiple staff from the Park Authority and approved vendors have written articles and fishing reports to help support beginning anglers. This content can be found online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/fishing . Readers will find articles, tips, and reports that help people learn at their own speed and become as self-sufficient as they choose to be. Jordan Jenkins, who has been essential for keeping the program operational, is developing a brochure for the program that links QR codes to the website, so that participants can use real time information to catch the fish they desire. For additional information on the free rod rental program please reach out to Dan.Grulke@fairfaxcounty.gov.

GOLFA Great Game for All

The game of golf is constantly evolving, growing and adapting as a lifestyle activity. This game, more than ever, exists to be experienced by anyone and everyone. In recent years, adaptive golf has entered the spotlight, both nationally and globally, which gives persons with disabilities the opportunity to play this great game through modified rules and equipment, based on the person’s disability. FCPA and the Golf Division have experienced operationally, through collaboration with outside partners such as The First Tee, Special Olympics and the United States Disabled Golfers Association, what it takes to successfully introduce adaptive golf to the community and the positive impact of such an effort. Many more exciting opportunities and initiatives exist for this special group of golf enthusiasts and for FCPA in the very near future.

The late great Abe Lincoln once quoted as part of the Gettysburg Address, “…of the people, by the people, for the people.” He of course was talking about our governmental freedoms but in a strange and unique way, these nine words relate directly to the game of golf. No matter skill level, personality, racial diversity, economic status and most importantly, disability, there is a place in this great game for all.

HIDDEN GEM Cub Run Leisure Pool and Birthday Parties

The Cub Run Rec Center is party-ready for your next celebration! Since being built in 2005, the Cub Run Rec Center has played host to hundreds of birthday parties for children of all ages. Children come to swim, slide, splash and laugh at one of the best indoor pools for families in the area. With the opening of the all-new shallow water play feature, Cub Run is more ready then ever to host your little one’s birthday party.

“Our brand-new feature has 2 slides, buckets, showers, and all the fun features perfect for children ages 2 to 6 years old” said Cub Run manager David Jewell. For the older kids, Cub Run offers an open swim area and two indoor water slides with the largest one being three stories tall. Best of all, parents can rest easy knowing that their children are being watched by the highly trained and nationally recognized lifeguards of FCPA.

The pool is just one part of what makes Cub Run such a fantastic spot for a birthday party. Boasting four separate rooms, three of which can accommodate up to 85 guests, there is ample space to invite everyone you want to have come. “While our Party Room is the most popular choice, and can host up to 18 participants, our three club rooms are perfect for those families that need more space” says Birthday Party Coordinator, Makiya Linear.

Whether you are planning your child’s next memorable childhood experience or just looking for something for your family to do on those rainy spring days, Cub Run Rec Center is the perfect location for a fun and safe visit.

An Inspiring Swim Teacher for Children of All Abilities

If your child is enrolled in one of Elena Mulligan’s swim classes or you can schedule private swim lessons with her, consider yourself very lucky. Elena is a wildly popular swim instructor with the Fairfax County Park Authority at the G.W. Rec Center, with a passion for teaching children of all abilities. She enjoys seeing the transformation and growth in her students. “My favorite thing about teaching is seeing a kid who is terrified to put their face in the water to becoming the best swimmer in the class and having fun!” says Elena.

Mulligan has been teaching children’s swim lessons for 8 years, with the last 3 years teaching for the Park Authority. She has always loved swimming and was a “swim team kid”. She says swimming is not the easiest thing to learn but an important survival skill everyone should have. Being a Maryland native, she was amazed when she moved to Virginia and realized how frequently residents are within close proximity to a body of water. With drowning being the leading cause of death in children, she emphasizes that every child should take lessons. Her advice to parents is “get your kids in the water as soon as you can”. She explains that getting children comfortable in the water at a young age and having them put their face in the water is a critical first step to learning how to swim.

Mulligan’s passion for teaching has garnered the appreciation of her students’ parents. Amy Buckley, the mom of a 10-year-old student named Mason, has this to say: “She (Elena) was an amazing group instructor. She was great at getting the children to respond to her, especially Mason, who is high functioning autistic and sometimes gets forgotten in peer settings as he tends to become very quiet and can distance himself physically from a group. Under Elena’s gentle hand and patience, Mason has thrived at swimming. She worked at his pace but doesn’t let him fool her into thinking he cannot do something! Mason responds to her in ways he has NEVER responded to another swim instructor! He is excited to see her, works hard when he is with her and leaves more confident than ever!” said Ms. Buckley. “I know my little boy will safely know how to swim and enjoy it as much as I do, because of Ms. Elena and her amazing ability to reach even the hardest of children! Her love of her job is evident in all she does.”

Elena’s parting advice to parents is to remember that everyone’s learning process is different and that everyone learns at their own pace. “Trust the instructor and trust your kid” says Elena.

If you are interested in group or private swim lessons, please turn to the Aquatics section starting on pg. 20.

IT’S TIME TO GET SET, TO GET W.E.T

The Get Set to Get W.E.T. (Water Education Training) is a Fairfax County Park Authority developed water safety program that is designed for children ages 3-5 years old. With drowning being the leading cause of death for this age group, it is paramount that preschool age children receive training and education in the dangers of unsupervised water play, the benefits of learning to swim, and the fun that goes along with being in the water.

“In the Get Set, Get W.E.T. program, we read stories about water safety to the children, teach them about being safe around water, and show them life jackets, rescue tubes, and other safety materials such as coloring sheets” said lead instructor, Debbie Kidwell. She went on to say, “In the Spring of 2022, we did over 84 presentations to over 2,000 preschool children in Fairfax County.”

The free 30-minute presentation consists of an age-appropriate book, interactive games, and proper fitting of a lifejacket and is taught by certified swim instructors and lifeguards.

“With the proximity of so many Fairfax County residents to open water, the Aquatics team with FCPA felt it was vital to do more than just provide swim lessons at the Rec Centers. Get Set, Get W.E.T. allows us that opportunity to provide an interactive learning environment where it is needed most to meet our goal of zero drownings in Fairfax County” said Elizabeth Cook, Aquatics Director at Cub Run Rec Center. If you would like to schedule a Get Set, Get Wet presentation please contact Joshua.Lainhart@fairfaxcounty.gov.

Revitalizing for the Future

Out with the old and in with the new! Mount Vernon Rec Center is undergoing an extensive renovation and expansion project that will begin in January 2023 and is expected to last two years.

Constructed in 1974, the Mount Vernon Rec Center is one of the Park Authority’s oldest and most popular facilities. The project will include the complete renovation of the existing structure and the addition of an approximately 75,000-square-foot expansion. New features include a two-story fitness center, multipurpose areas, and pool and building upgrades. As part of the expansion, a NHL-sized ice rink and indoor track is being added. The facility will be closed during construction.

“The decision to close the entire facility for two years was a tough one; but it is the best option when it comes to delivering the most desirable outcome and limiting the impact of the closure on our customers,” said Fairfax County Park Authority Director Jai Cole. “We worked very hard to keep the facility open for as long as possible prior to construction and to condense the closure period as much as possible. While we understand that the temporary closing is challenging, we very much look forward to delivering a top-notch, state-of-the-art facility that will serve this community well into the future.”

During the closure, customers can continue using their Park Authority membership to access all of the other Rec Centers located throughout the county. The Franconia and the George Washington Rec Centers are both less than five miles away. Additionally, beginning January 2, 2023, the George Washington Rec Center will operate with expanded hours to accommodate the closure. Call 703-222-4664 for help locating alternative programs, services and facilities during the closure or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/reccenter or www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes.

The Park Authority gets a new Camp Director

Emilie Shumate has been promoted to the Youth Services Manager with the Park Authority. This position manages children’s programs, preschools and summer camps for the agency. Shumate started with the Park Authority in 1998 as an attendant at the front desk at the Audrey Moore Rec Center when she was in high school and throughout college. After graduating from college, Emilie assumed a full-time position in 2004 as a recreation assistant at Mount Vernon Rec Center where she planned programs and services. She was promoted in 2007 to the ice park/recreation specialist II where she managed programs, services and special events. At that time, Shumate also served on the agency’s customer service team for summer camp, Rec Pac, and front-line staff. Most recently she worked in Golf and the Business Analytics section.

Emilie remarked about her new role “This position manages children’s programs, preschools and summer camps for the agency, bringing my career full circle to where I began at Mt. Vernon Rec Center. I met my husband while managing the summer camp program early in my career, and we even named our son after a camper we thought was just the coolest kid”. In her new role, Emilie is excited to help children enjoy the programs that FCPA staff work so hard to plan and execute.

When asked about working at the Park Authority, Shumate remarked “A career in parks allows so many different opportunities, a chance to explore your passions and a connection to a family of other professionals who are also passionate about providing excellent services for our community. I hope to see you and your family in the parks!”

Adapted Recreation

All programs and activities will follow current health safety protocols.

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 703-324-8727. 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 703-324-8727 or visit 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 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.

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.

Combining course levels

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

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.

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.
