Special announcement -
A sinkhole exists about ten feet to the left of our water spigot, and it's getting bigger. It is covered and doesn't present a danger at this time. But, please remain mindful when you or your dog are near that area.
We have alerted Fairfax County Park Authority to this problem and they are assessing possible solutions. As we learn more, we'll share with everyone.

Special Announcement: TURF MAINTENANCE
Our fall planting happened a little later than we were hoping because of wet conditions in late September. Also, the weather in October was colder than we had hoped. As a result, while our fall seeding has sprouted, the grass is still very delicate. The purpose of the fall seeding was to give us cool weather grass (especially around the new patio) earlier in the spring so we can hopefully be open in April and May. Rather than endanger those tender shoots now, the Board has decided to keep the south end closed until spring. This decision was discussed in detail at the January General Meeting. We are aware that there is a serious mud problem in the North end and fixing that problem is our top priority. Until then, park users are advised to use caution and make other arrangements when conditions are unsuitable. Click here for more information.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the park.
