Your Online Guide to Recreation, Fun & Fitness

Winter 2022

Winter Greetings F-r-r-r-r-iends and Family!

Thank you for connecting with our virtual Leisure Magazine—Prince William County’s go-to source for all things recreation. The season of frosty air and early dusks is a time for inward reflection and new perspectives when we are challenged to find the beauty in nature’s still hibernation. While the landscapes of our parks slip into dormancy too, our gates stay open and the lights in our facilities burn bright. Consider the rejuvenating power of recreation as fuel for your winter sustenance and chart a course with us towards the brightness of spring. In addition to nearly 60 parks and facilities and over 50 miles of trail, we offer hundreds of fitness and instructional classes for all ages and abilities.

Message From The Director

Opportunities for connecting with nature are endless in Prince William County. Our alluring landscapes extend from the rolling hills of the Bull Run Mountains to the wooded shores of the Potomac River. Take a step outside and discover something new. Hike along the Broad Run River at Dove’s Landing Park, meander the stately grounds of Rippon Lodge, or photograph Bald Eagles in flight at Silver Lake Park. Ride over 1.2 miles of new mountain bike trail at Locust Shade Park, including a new skills course, or jog the perimeter path of the athletic fields at Catharpin Park .

Take your little ones to explore the universally-accessible playground at the new Harbor Drive Wellness Park in Partnership with Kaiser Permanente, the new Warrior Challenge Course at Locust Shade Park, and the new playgrounds at Cloverdale and Catharpin Parks.
