Special announcement
The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) has received a complaint about accessibility at Westgrove Dog Park. To immediately address this complaint, two actions are being taken at Westgrove Dog Park:
To learn about even more accessibility improvements coming to Westgrove Dog Park, please attend the next general meeting. The next meeting will be held at the Martha Washington Library on Wednesday, May 8th, 2019 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.
- FCPA has already installed a new handicap parking sign near the north-end entrance. Authorized patrons can pull up and into the walkway by this sign; please do not block it.
- The Westgrove PACK is removing the portable restroom because it doesn’t meet accessibility requirements. The board is considering a replacement compliant with ADA laws, but wants to hear from the community. If you’d like to keep the portable bathroom, please email the board at westgrovepack@gmail.com

Grass area opening
The South (grass) end of the Park opened for the spring on Friday afternoon, March 29.
This decision was made by the Fairfax County Park Authority against the recommendation of the Westgrove PACK board. The board believed that the grass planted last fall needed a couple more weeks to establish. We expect that this premature opening will cause turf conditions to deteriorate.
Park users with concerns are encouraged to contact the Park Authority directly. Their Online Citizen Feedback Form is at:
https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/contact-us
Please come to the next general meeting for more detailed information about why the gates were opened early and upcoming changes to the park.
Also, our famous Hot Dog Friday Nights will resume on May 31.
