PARKSIDE
The Last Word by Judy Pedersen
Twenty years ago, I was hired by the Park Authority to serve as Public Information Officer and spokesman for the agency. It’s been a grand adventure to say the least. Not a day has gone by that I have not learned something new. I have worked under several Executive Directors; some better than others, but all dedicated to improving our park system. I have come to expect the unexpected; the occasional crime or badly be haved park visitor; passionate testimony at public meetings; serial requestors of documentation and the occasional wildlife or farm animal destined to garner headlines. It’s been a blast!
Let me state without reservation that the Park Authority Board is rife with overachievers who love parks. I have seen them in action; making tough decisions, weighing the pros and cons of land acquisitions, policy, or fees, supporting Park Bonds, and meeting with constituents to determine community needs, expectations and hopes. So too, the many elected officials who support parks.
It’s been an honor working with dedicated and talented staff members. These are caring people who rise to the occasion. They won’t take no for an answer, they get their job done. They did the work that was needed to ensure system perfor mance, they went the extra mile, got the word out and made sure people were safe and able to enjoy our parks. They came to work during the pandemic. They plowed snow for weddings. They performed CPR when necessary. That’s how much they love their jobs, care about our park system and the people who come to our facilities.
Park volunteers are one of a kind. Be it protecting the environment, work ing at a golf course or in our pools with disabled swimmers; making masks during COVID-19 or advocating for parks – thank you for your service.
Alas, change is inevitable. In fact, it’s healthy for an organization. This year, dozens of long-time Park Authority managers and staff are retiring. It just worked out that way, but rest assured we leave you in good hands.
My colleagues and I have been privileged to work on behalf of the residents of Fairfax County. Thank you for the great memories, for the many blessings of a job well done and keep in mind the recent challenges we have all overcome together. We’ve done what we could to leave behind a legacy of excellence. Collectively we feel good about turning over the reins to another generation. It’s a beautiful park system – please enjoy it.

Year One: Visiting 420 Parks
With nearly 24,000 acres of parkland in the Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) system it’s not surpris ing to find 420 parks located throughout Fairfax County, with parks in each magisterial district, each with distinct amenities. Some serve as neighborhood gathering spots, others are district parks or spe cial destinations such as our lakefront parks. What is surprising is that Park Authority Executive Director
Jai Cole has visited every single park in the system. All within the first year of her tenure.
She recently celebrated the completion of her park tour, a journey which allowed her to get a sense of each park, to meet staff and visitors alike, and to identify service gaps and opportunities for improvement. Cole, and about 100 volunteers and local officials took a few moments to celebrate the completion of her tour as well as to plant trees and pull invasive plants at Lake Fairfax on National Public Lands Day. It was a great time to be volunteering in any park.
“I grew up in Reston with Lake Fairfax as my backyard. That’s where I fell in love with nature and had the adventures that led me to become an ecologist. Fairfax County had such a significant influence on who I am that I was thrilled when I was chosen last year as the new Executive Director of FCPA. Not many people in my profession can lead, preserve, and enhance their childhood park system and I feel very honored to have been given this opportunity,” explained Director Cole.
Why go that extra mile? Cole noted, “I needed to see our parks to be their champion, but I also needed to see the surrounding neighborhoods. Parks in Franconia shouldn’t look exactly like parks in Vienna. Parks should reflect the community they serve, and different neighborhoods may value different ways to recreate. To get to know this park system and really start to understand the needs of our residents, I needed to see them – all of them.”
So, what did she find on her tour? “I’ve seen what I thought was impossible: a phenomenal park system with some of the best amenities any system in the country has to offer, but also with parks that are bursting with potential waiting to be imagined. The trip was fantastic,” Cole exclaimed. “I saw the many parks that we own and manage. I met people who work at the parks and who visit the parks. I saw its strengths and its weaknesses, I noted places that needed attention and care and investment, and I was wowed by both our facilities and our wonderful staff.”
Cole notes that the past year has been a learning experience but it’s just the start of a much bigger ef fort to ensure that every resident can experience all the FCPA has to offer, regardless of where they live, or their ability to pay. She expands on that sentiment, “My definition of racial equity in parks is “Where race and income does not predict the quantity and quality of parks in a specific area and Rec Centers and programs are affordable for all residents.” Parks and recreation centers are such a vital part of the lives of so many of our residents and I hope you can take some time for yourself and your family to get to one of our 420 parks soon.”
Executive Director Jai Cole
Jai Cole is the Executive Director of the Fairfax County Park Authority. Cole grew up in Fairfax County, residing in Reston for 25 years. She attended South Lakes High School where she played youth softball, basketball and field hockey. She then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in biology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro where she played Division I basketball.
Black H istory MontH in tH e Parks
To preserve local African American culture and history, the Park Authority joined with historians from other county agencies and the Fairfax County History Commission, to research and collect historical information. Started in January 2021, the new initiative, called the African American History Inventory (AAHI), was an ambitious project with the goal of gathering documentation in one place. The Park Authority’s Archaeology and Collections Branch staff was a major partner in contributing to the inventory. Committee members scoured printed materials such as newspapers, brochures, letters, photographic collections, maps, and collections of family papers found at local libraries, museums, and other repositories. African American churches and schools were identified as vital historic components of the communities. A wealth of digital information, such as websites, story maps, and videos tell the story of the African American communities in the County.
A draft of the AAHI was completed in late 2021. The AAHI is a living document that can be added to when further information is discovered. It is organized by supervisory district. The draft document was transferred to George Mason University for students to convert it into a searchable database.
This project helps the Park Authority acknowledge the significant contributions and the struggle for freedom by enslaved African Americans at sites that are now part of our park system. In February 2023 we will share the stories of the enslaved communities of Fairfax County to bring awareness to the new AAHI. Multiple parks and historic sites will feature programs so we can share what we have learned and what we are still researching:
Frying Pan Baptist Meetinghouse
The historic meetinghouse will be open each Saturday in February from 12-2 p.m. Established in the 18th century, the original congregation of the meetinghouse included enslaved and free Blacks, as well as slaveholding members.
Sully Historic Site
Tours in the month of February will focus on the work of the enslaved community at Sully such as Madam Juba the Laundress. There will also be an exhibit of artifacts to view in the east wing.
Ellanor C. Lawrence Park
The African Americans at Walney Walking Tour will be offered for participants to hear the stories of African American families who lived and worked at Walney Farm.
Colvin Run Mill
During the month of February, take a tour of the mill where you will hear the stories of enslaved workers. Learn how historians are searching for information to tell a more complete history of the Colvin Run community.
Historic Huntley
Join a historian for the Enslaved Lives and the Legacy of Slavery tour that examines the relationship of the Mason family to the Humphreys, as well as other enslaved people who lived and worked at Huntley.
Turn to the History section or visit Parktakes online for more details about these programs and to register. To learn more about the AAHI, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/history-commission/african-american-inventory.
Holiday Happenings in the Parks
From special events and day trips to winter craft workshops, historic and nature programs, the Fairfax County Park Authority offers something for every age and interest to make the holidays memorable this year!
Special Events
Two popular holiday events are returning to Burke Lake Park this year, Winter Wonderland and Celebration Station. During the day, go to the Winter Wonderland, where you can take a train ride on the Holiday Express, ride the Carolers Carousel, play Gingerbread Man Mini Golf, and enjoy s’mores and cocoa by the fire. The festivities continue at night with Celebration Station when the park twinkles with thousands of holiday lights. After a magical train ride, children can take a spin on the festively lit carousel. Don’t delay purchasing your tickets in advance online to either event-both are expected to sell out.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town!
Don’t miss your chance to snap a photo while the kids meet Santa! He will make the rounds at the parks, visiting Colvin Run Mill, Burke Lake Park’s Winter Wonderland, and Sully Historic Site. A delicious treat and festive craft will complete your little one’s day.
Get Crafty
The Park Authority will help you get ready for the holidays with winter decoration and craft workshops for young and old. Winter wreath making workshops are being offered at Green Spring Gardens and Hidden Pond Nature Center. Other holiday décor and craft workshops are being held at Audrey Moore Rec Center, Green Spring Gardens, Hidden Oaks Nature Center, and Lewinsville House.
Happenings at Historic and Nature Sites
Travel back in time with a candlelight tour of Sully Historic site or a holiday lantern tour at Colvin Run Mill. Feast on delicious tea and treats at events offered at Historic Huntley, Green Spring Gardens, Colvin Run Mill, and E.C. Lawrence Park. Or take your children to Colvin Run Mill so they can shop for everyone on their list in the historic General Store and then gift wrap their purchases. Perhaps you’re feeling more adventuresome? Guided winter walks, lectures, wagon rides, and campfires are being offered in several parks, including E.C. Lawrence, Green Spring Gardens, Lake Fairfax, Riverbend Park, Frying Pan and Huntley Meadows.
Get in the Holiday Spirit with a Day Trip
No one can resist getting in the holiday spirit with a visit to Longwood Gardens as you walk amongst the beautiful and elegant holiday displays. Or be transported to colonial days with a trip to Williamsburg’s Grand Illumination. For a trip that the whole family can enjoy, board the Potomac Eagle North Pole Express train ride to help Santa save Christmas.
To find out more information about Holiday Events in the Parks, please turn to the Events section starting on pg. 46 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes/. Registration is required for most events.
BETTER GOLFERS ARE MADE IN THE FITNESS CENTER!
Why do we put such an emphasis on fitness?
If your body can’t do what you want it to do, the path to a better golf game may be long and frustrat ing. With that in mind, it’s extremely important for your golf swing coach to know what you physically can and cannot do. Golf fitness involves increasing strength, flexibility and stability all geared towards make it easier for your body to perform the swing mechanics.
A proper golf swing is an extremely complex movement and requires control of your body to achieve success. Getting it right and ultimately improving your game is probably the most underrated benefit of taking on a golf fitness routine. Researchers found that top tier professional golfers have one major difference from average golfers: physical conditioning. In fact, the most common cause of the amateur golfer injury is poor golf swing and body mechanics. Many golfers cannot make smooth, effortless swings because their bodies are unable. As with any sport, golf requires a personal invest ment in good nutrition and regular exercise that improves body mechanics and helps avoid injuries.
The bottom line is that most players love the game and want to play forever. We know golfers who stop playing due to injuries, health issues or when walking for extended periods is difficult. This is where your Rec Center and golf conditioning specialist come in to help you get where you need to be to perform well. Find out more about working one-on-one with a Golf Conditioning Specialist by emailing Laurie Strickland at Laurie.Strickland@fairfaxcounty.gov.
Health Coaching: Change starts here!
Sometimes the most difficult part of making a change is taking the first step. Have you ever known technically how to do something, but somehow you don’t seem to be able to get yourself to do it? Or maybe you don’t have a clue how to do it, but can’t bring yourself to take that first step? While some personal trainers are also certified health coaches, health coaching is very different than personal training. Personal trainers will show and tell you what to do. Health coaches will ask you questions and help you to get to the heart of your goals. What do YOU want and why is it important to you?
Behavior modification is the focus of a health coach. What are your barriers to change? Is your goal increased fitness, but you need help managing your schedule to make it happen? Is your sleep schedule (or lack thereof) holding you back? Does your lifestyle conflict with or reflect your priorities or serve what (or whom) is most important to you in this world?
You don’t need to be an elite athlete to be well-served by having a health coach. Athletes have long accepted the guidance of a coach to get and keep on track to achieve their goals. Everyone can benefit from working with a professional health coach. Even small changes over time can exponentially change your life.
The Park Authority offers many different types of fitness and wellness services. You don’t need to be a Rec Center member to meet with one of our health coaches, but a health coach can help you gain the greatest benefit from your Rec Center mem bership. There are health coaches available to meet at several of our Rec Centers, as well as convenient virtual sessions to serve you. Find out more about these services by reaching out to Laurie.Strickland@fairfaxcounty.gov.
LIFEGUARDING IS AGELESS
Nationwide, lifeguards are in short supply. The team at Oak Marr Rec Center had to start think ing outside the box to address the shortfall. With that in mind, they looked to retirees – a vast new pool of potential applicants looking for part time work.
Clearly, it’s a different demographic but it’s been a highly successful approach with a more “ma ture” workforce in the making. One of these new recruits is Robert Brennen who joined Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) as lifeguard after a 40-year career where he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and the State Department in 2019.
“I’ve enjoyed acquiring new skills during training (water rescues, CPR, first aid, etc.), the flexi ble hours, and working with a super group of younger lifeguards. It’s also been great getting to know our FCPA patrons, whether the high school swim teams, the local diving clubs, or the numerous guests who use our pool to stay in shape” said Brennen who works about 15 to 20 hours per week. One of the perks: a free Rec Center membership which allows him to work out on his own in the pool a couple of times a week.
He added, “As an older worker I’ve enjoyed working with and mentoring younger lifeguards for whom working for FCPA is often their first job. It’s a daily responsibility to maintain the high stan dards that both FCPA and Jeff Ellis & Associates, the Park Authority’s water safety trainers/auditors re quire to keep the public safe while using our FCPA facility.” In fact, such high standards have allowed him to continue training and maintain his fitness at such a high level that he was able to expand his lifeguarding opportunities and spend this past summer as a beach lifeguard at Emerald Isle, NC.
For more information on becoming a lifeguard or swim instructor at any of the Park Authority’s pools or water parks, please visit our FCPA Aquatics jobs page Aquatic Certification Programs and Jobs at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/reccenter/aquatic-certification.
WHEELS UP in Fairfax County SKATE PARKS
You don’t have to be Tony Hawk to enjoy the Park Authority’s two awesome skate parks!
Whether you’re an avid skateboarder who knows all the latest tricks or just a beginner, the skate parks are a great place to learn and work on your skills before taking them to the street.
Wakefield Skate Park was fully renovated and redesigned over the summer. The design of the park was a collaborative effort between local skate enthusiasts and professional designers. It’s awesome and caters to all skill levels of skateboarders, BMX riders, and other wheeled athletes. The new park offers a com petition-style bowl, multi-level jump line, hips galore, mini-ramp, spine, a-frame, ledges, euro, and many other exciting features. The $1.2 million project was funded via voter-ap proved Park Bonds and plans to reopen in late Fall or early Winter.
Those on the other side of Fairfax County can roll over to the Lake Fairfax Skate Park fea turing 15,000 square feet of skating area. The plaza obstacles include a shark fin, manual pad, and euro gap with ledges and rails. The ledges and rails are the low to medium type. The bowl consists of three sections at four, six, and eight feet, three high-to-low curved hips, and consistent eight-foot tranny radius throughout.
Jump into the fun but please follow safety protocols and all rules while using the skate parks. For more information visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/skate-parks.
Home on the Golf Range!
If you haven’t made golf your thing yet, now is the time! Bring the family together for a fun outdoor experience. The Golf Fairfax ranges are enjoyable, relaxed places for all player levels to practice, exercise and socialize.
Keep your game warm over the winter with heated, covered top-rated ranges at Burke Lake and Oak Marr Golf Centers, com plete with LED lighting. Twin Lakes and Laurel Hill also offer ranges open year-round.
Did you know an hour at the range burns 200 calories on average? Stay on top of your fitness while un winding and taking in fresh air. Buckets at Burke, Oak Marr and Twin Lakes are as low as $4 each when you buy a range pass (good for two years). Pay one fee for the year with Laurel Hill range memberships.
Enjoy new food and beverage selections at the ranges including beer and wine. Be on the lookout for delicious snack choices. Having a par-tee? The ranges are also available for special events.
Don’t have clubs yet? Range loaner clubs are available.
No matter what stage of the game you are in, the shoulder season is a great time to fine tune your swing, test out new clubs or get started on your golf journey. For more information visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/golf .
HIDDEN GEM
Barrel Bridge and Boxcars
The Lorton Reformatory is a former prison complex established in 1910 for the District of Columbia. The complex began as a pastoral prison farm called the Occoquan Workhouse for non-violent offenders serving short sentences, but it grew to include a 10-acre, somewhat notorious walled penitentiary constructed by inmates, until the site’s closure in 2001. The handiwork of the inmates remains.
Alongside Laurel Hill Golf Course, the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail (GCCCT) meanders towards the Occoquan River and crosses Lorton Road. Just north of Lorton Road you’ll find the historic Barrel Bridge, a unique example of the craftsmanship of prison laborers. Constructed in 1946, the bridge was assembled by prison workers using bricks that were formed and fired at the prison’s brickyard. The Voussoir Arch-style bridge commonly referred to as a “barrel arch” bridge for its resemblance to the inside of a barrel, was constructed to overpass a spur of the Lorton & Occoquan Railroad line. The arch is one of the oldest and most durable structural forms. Constructed in a five-course common bond brick pattern, it is the only masonry and brick arch bridge of this kind in Virginia. Today, engineers seldom select the complex arch form for modern building projects and as such, arched bridges are increasingly vanishing features in the transportation landscape.
North of the Barrel Bridge sits the remains of an old wooden boxcar. It was likely used as a passenger car to transport prisoners from their dormitories to worksites, bring in food and coal supplies, as well as take shipments (such as inmate-produced bricks) out of the Lorton complex. The 40-foot-long car was probably obtained as a scrap car, with the metal ends and benches add ed later. In early 2006, a Park Authority archaeologist discovered the boxcar which was almost completely hidden under vines and grasses. The FCPA reclaimed the boxcar from the natural overgrowth and set about protecting and restoring it to its present condition.
HONORS AND ANNIVERSARIES
LAKE ACCOTINK PARK’S 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED
Thousands visitors filled Lake Accotink Park on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2022, as the Fairfax County Park Authority marked the 60th anniversary of this popular lake front park, featuring free amusements, special programming, trail hikes, children’s activities and displays from local organizations. The celebration also drew several members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, members of the Park Authori ty Board, the Friends of Lake Accotink Park and Park Authority staff.
Lake Accotink Park provides opportunities for outdoor recreation and enjoying nature across its 449 acres. Central to the park is a 55-acre lake, surrounded by wetlands and forest. The park offers opportunities to hike and bike miles of trails, fish from the shoreline, and observe the changing of the seasons. A miniature golf course, historic carousel and playgrounds provide amusements.
HIDDEN OAKS NATURE CENTER GRAND REOPENING DRAWS A CROWD
There were hundreds of people who turned out for the grand reopening and ribboncutting ceremony at Hidden Oaks Nature Center in Annandale on Saturday, July 16. The renovated and expanded facility featured a host of diverse programs, activities and performances, as well as remarks by local officials.
With funding from the 2016 Park Bond, Hidden Oaks Nature Center underwent $1,627,000 in renovations and expansions. The construction added an additional classroom, kitchen area and interpretive space. The restrooms were also renovated to current Americans with Disabilities Act standards. A new pond now graces the property, complimenting the outdoor public amenities in Annandale Community Park, including trails, the Wing Wall exhibit, the woodland carved tree and a butterfly-themed playground.
WAKEFIELD PICKLEBALL COURT RENOVATION, ADDITIONS OFFICIALLY OPEN
Pickleball enthusiasts attended the ribbon cutting and exhibition at Wakefield Park Pickleball and Tennis Complex in June. The $410,000 project was paid for with dedicated funding from Fairfax County for renovations of parks and facilities, as well as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) funding aimed at providing full accessibility to the courts.
Improvements included reconstruction of tennis courts 9 and 10, practice tennis courts, removal of two platform tennis courts, and installation of two pickleball courts. Additional improvements include construction of ADA-compliant walkways and installation of bench pads.

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 small er 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

Lessons are also available for adult swimmers. Senior discount does not apply to these lessons. See website for details and times.

A Fairfax County, Virginia,
How do you imagine your parks? We want your input!
The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) is developing the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access (PROSA) Strategy and we need your input. The PROSA Strategy will provide a framework for equitable access to FCPA parks and the park system. Building on the 2017 Parks & Recreation System Master Plan, Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2019 – 2023, and One Fairfax, the Strategy will provide a roadmap for improved park access and a balance of recreational experiences to meet the diverse needs of Fairfax County residents. Additionally, the PROSA Strategy will examine the following:
• Identify 10-minute walk access gaps to FCPA parks
• Evaluate complete park experiences
• Analyze habitat connectivity between environmental corridors
• Analyze and prioritize recreation needs and projects with an equity lens
Your input is important, and it will help shape the future of FCPA parks. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts and insights with us by visiting the PROSA project website and taking our survey:
Please contact us with any comments or questions about PROSA at PROSA@Publicinput.com.
