“Spring” into Fun with the Park Authority!

For the fourth consecutive five-year term, the Fairfax County Park Authority has once again achieved one of the highest distinctions attainable in the Parks and Recreation industry – accreditation through the National Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA). And, for the fourth time in a row, the Park Authority received perfect marks in all 154 national standards that measure an agency’s overall quality of management, operation, programs and services to the community. A perfect score is not easy, nor is it a normal occurrence. Four times in a row is just astounding and is due to an exceptional team of park and recreation professionals dedicated to providing the best for the communities we serve. Speaking of our staff, we are also proud of the full calendar of diverse classes, programs activities and special events that they have planned for the coming season. These thousands of offerings cater to a wide variety of age groups and interests. In addition to the Spring lineup, Summer camp registration opens on January 23. Our summer camp spots fill fast (some that day) so get prepared by using our handy camp planning guide. All of our camp planning resources (including the Camp Spreadsheet and Planner worksheet) are located on our Camps page: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/camps. We are also proud of our outstanding amenities and attractions. In fact, we recently opened the new state-of-theart Woodlands Stewardship Education Center at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park. Every aspect of this new center is an opportunity for children and adults to interact with and learn about our natural environment through the universal languages of fun and play. We are in the business of fun! Nothing highlights that more than how much our special events have grown into cherished family traditions. For example, our annual egg hunts, Bluebells at the Bend, Earth Day, Spring Farm Day and Spring Garden Day have provided opportunities for family fun for thousands of park visitors over the years to take advantage of these opportunities for family fun! The Fairfax County Park Authority would like to thank you for taking advantage of all that we offer, we truly value your patronage.

The New Woodlands Education Stewardship Center opens

The Fairfax County Park Authority celebrated the completion of the new Woodlands Stewardship Education Center, located in Ellanor C. Lawrence Park in Chantilly, with a ribbon cutting on Saturday, November 18. Designed to wow adults and children alike, this interpretive facility demonstrates principles of environmental stewardship that make a world of difference in the way we interact with and affect our natural environment. From the use of reclaimed construction materials and sustainable energy and water sources to experimentation with simple machines and natural observation spaces, this stewardship education center provides an incredible teaching platform for demonstrating technologies and processes that can reshape our individual relationship with the environment around us. County leaders, project benefactors and residents from the surrounding community participated in the inaugural event followed by tours of the amazing features of the site, which was designed to meet the rigorous standards of the Living Building Challenge (LBC) – an achievement attained by only a small number of projects worldwide. “When looking at the concept for this project, we knew we wanted to raise the bar to a whole new level,” said Park Authority Executive Director Jai Cole. “Every aspect of this facility is an exhibit that illustrates our connection to the natural world and creates an experience that will ignite the imaginations and creativity of young people through hands-on experiences and play.” The standards of the LBC require meticulous attention to the development of a project in seven performance categories including Place, Water, Energy, Health and Happiness, Materials, Equity and Beauty. Every aspect of the project – including the building materials, energy and water usage and production, learning and recreational features and landscaping - involved intentional decision-making to preserve and protect the natural environment and provide a unique user experience for all who visit. The Park Authority will be eligible to apply for LBC certification after one full year of operation. General project features include an interpretive center with multipurpose spaces, kitchen and restroom; an educational kiosk and plumbing room; outdoor amphitheater and observation deck; a large STREAM (science, technology, recreation, engineering, arts and math) activity play space with connecting trails; native plantings; and related site improvements. The total project cost was $8.8 million and included $7.2 million in park bond funding, $1.1 million in proffers, and $500,000 in financial contributions through the Fairfax County Park Foundation. Visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/eclawrence/woodlands-stewardship-education-center for information. 22

This project was made possible thanks in part to numerous donations contributed through the Fairfax County Park Foundation.

Introducing the Wonder Wagon:

Connecting Communities to Nature Where They Live Step into the world of environmental exploration with the Wonder Wagon, the Fairfax County Park Authority’s innovative Mobile Nature Center. The initiative, shaped by a significant amount of community input, is designed to bring nature and stewardship education directly to undeserved areas of Fairfax County to foster environmental awareness and resilient communities. The Wonder Wagon is not just a van; it’s an experience. Packed with engaging activities, from bug-catching to birdwatching, the Wonder Wagon will help audiences of all ages to see our urban environments as nature-rich spaces. Residents can delve into the wonders of plants and animals, discovering the beauty of the natural world right at their doorstep. Beyond providing hands-on experiences, the Wonder Wagon aims to create lasting memories and inspire a lifelong connection with nature. By reaching into communities, it encourages residents to advocate for parks and sustainable initiatives in their neighborhoods. Made possible by Community Foundation for Northern Virginia support, the National Park Service and the Fairfax County Park Foundation, the Wonder Wagon is on a mission to offer 150 programs annually and serve more than 3,500 community members. This initiative not only supplements Virginia’s Science standards of learning, and the Park Authority’s mission, but it also aligns with countywide initiatives and goals. Keep an eye out for our brightly branded van as the Wonder Wagon rolls into neighborhoods near you. Stay tuned for updates, and let the adventure begin!

Celebrate the Outdoors at Earth Day 2024!

EARTH DAY FAIRFAX 2024

Since 1970, Earth Day has been celebrated across the nation and in more than 192 countries throughout the world to raise awareness for environmental protection and conservation. Ultimately, the goal is to instill in each of us a sense of environmental stewardship demonstrated through simple day-to-day choices we can make such as recycling, conserving water and energy, or even getting the whole family involved in a volunteer clean-up activity.

To get to that point, most of us need to feel a “real” connection to the world around us, and that’s not always an easy thing to do with all the ‘virtual’ distractions around us. This year, take advantage of the Park Authority’s Earth Day Festival and forge a real connection to the outdoors through the universal languages of fun and play! At Earth Day 2024, children of all ages can enjoy an entire day of amazing experiences at the Sully Historic Site. From racing through an outdoor obstacle course, hiking the surrounding trails and meeting some of our local wildlife to enjoying live performances, countless hands-on exhibits and our Earth Day Scavenger Hunt, we’ve got something for everyone! Mark your calendar and join us for a “Spring-tacular” celebration on Saturday, April 20, 2024, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Sully Historic Site. For more information, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/topics/earth-day.

Join the Composting Craze

Food is the largest category of material placed in municipal landfills. You may think, why is that so bad? It’s just food, doesn’t it decompose? Sadly, it’s a bit more complicated. There is very little oxygen in landfills meaning food and other organic matter does not decompose as it should. As a result, food scraps in landfills produce a harmful greenhouse gas called methane. Methane is 28-times more potent than carbon dioxide and significantly contributes to climate change. What can you do to keep your food scraps out of the landfill? You can drop them off at any of our 10 Fairfax County Park Authority Farmers Markets and we’ll compost them for you! Composting is a process by which organic waste – anything derived from animal or plant sources -- is broken down naturally into nutrient-rich soil through the addition of oxygen and water. This natural decomposition process produces significantly less methane and helps enrich the soil we live off of. Last year, FCPA Farmers Markets diverted over 120,000 pounds of food scraps from ending up in a landfill. Let’s top that in 2024. Join the composting craze by bringing your food scraps to any of the 10 FCPA Farmers Markets. You can collect scraps in old coffee cans, plastic bags – anything will do.

For a full list of what you can drop-off, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ parks/farmersmarkets/composting or call 703-642-0128. To find a Farmers Market, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/farmersmarkets.

Golf Fairfax’s Indoor Hidden Gem: Trackman Takes Golf to the Next Level Most golfers have learned and honed their skills out on the course or at a driving range. Now, at Pinecrest Golf Course in Annandale, there’s another option. The Trackman simulator has innovative technology that is transforming the way golfers practice, compete and socialize. Nestled within the Pinecrest Valis Family Golf Learning Center at Pinecrest Golf Course, the Trackman simulator is changing the game for golf enthusiasts. The Trackman was donated by the Valis Family in 2018. Trackman’s mission is simple: to make golf more enjoyable, engaging and efficient for everyone. At Pinecrest, this vision becomes a reality. The Trackman studio is open from dawn to dusk daily, allowing golfers to work on their game at their convenience, regardless of the weather. The Trackman 4 Golf Simulator at Pinecrest is where entertainment meets analysis. It features tour-graded technology, giving golfers immersive instruction and in-depth analysis of their golf swing, club head and ball flight.

For those seeking a more social golfing experience, Trackman offers fictional courses, practice range modules and various game formats suitable for any golfer, even kids.

Leveling the Game: Greendale Golf Course Unveils New Forward Tees This spring, Greendale Golf Course is rolling out eight new forward tees specifically tailored to golfers with shorter drives. The updated tees aim to provide an optimal landing area for the average woman’s drive, enhancing the overall golfing experience at Greendale. Founded in 1973, Greendale Golf Course initially featured forward tees at 5,456 yards. In 2015, the National Golf Foundation (NGF) Consulting Firm identified challenges with the existing forward tee length. Additionally, players have noted that due to the length of the forward tees, the distance was just too long. The distance affects score, playability and the overall joy of the experience. In response, Golf Fairfax took the progressive step to add shorter tees at Greendale. Recognizing the increase in female golfers since 2019 and their evolving needs, the course transformation began in October 2023. The new forward tees, spanning 4,923 yards, align with the USGA (United States Golf Association) recommendation of a tee yardage less than 5,000 yards for an 18-hole course. The shorter tees will create a more enjoyable and accessible golfing experience for all golfers with shorter drives, including women, juniors and beginner golfers.

Spring 2024 l 2021

Greendale Golf Course serves a wide range of golfers from juniors and beginners to scratch golfers. For more information on Greendale Golf Course and to book a tee time, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/golf/greendale.

Spotlight: Park Operations and Maintenance Division We love our parks! The Fairfax County Park Authority oversees the operation and management of more than 23,000 acres of parkland, 420 parks, hundreds of pieces of equipment, 9 Rec Centers, 8 golf courses, an ice skating rink, 2 skate parks, 11 dog parks, 229 playgrounds, 720 public garden plots, 3 equestrian facilities, 452 Fairfax County Public Schools athletic fields and 263 Park Authority athletic fields, 102 of which are synthetic turf, 44 synthetic turf athletic fields, 260 athletic fields, 68 picnic shelters, 15 volleyball courts, 252 tennis and racquetball courts, 127 basketball courts, 2 waterparks, a horticultural center, and more than 338 miles of hiking and fitness trails, historic sites, nature centers, and much more. Add to this the parking lots, restrooms, signage, fencing, trash receptacles and other infrastructure and there’s a lot to maintain and take care of! The Park Operations and Maintenance Division manages maintenance of parks and facilities through a combination of staff and contractors. As the Park Authority takes on more park acreage, facilities and assets to keep pace with the growth in the County’s population, the needs for maintenance keep growing. In addition, along with the long history of the Park Authority comes a legacy of facilities that require more frequent maintenance and repair. This expansion in the scope of maintenance challenges staff to stretch available resources in the face of growing maintenance needs. Any staff member of the Park Operations and Maintenance Division can safely say that no two days are ever alike working in parks! Their duties greatly vary, from taking care of trails, inspecting parks, to taking down high-risk trees, maintaining athletic fields, amusement and building maintenance, removing snow along walkways and parking lots, supporting events, working with park cleanup volunteers, to performing repairs to playground equipment, to removing graffiti in the parks. In addition, Park Operations and Maintenance staff manages a wide range of projects, including trail projects, athletic court and field renovations, restroom and shelter improvements, bench installations, and Rec Center upgrades. Community support plays a big role in the work of the Park Operations and Maintenance Division. Last year, hundreds of volunteers contributed more than 2,700 hours of service, many of them participating in one or more of the 61 park cleanups hosted by the Park Operations and Maintenance Division. Through the Adopt-a-Field program, many athletic group partners dedicate significant time and money to supplement the maintenance of athletic fields for the entire community. Similarly, under the Mastenbrook Grant Program, which the Park Authority Board began in 2000, community groups have contributed generously to match grants awarded by the Park Authority for improvements in parks and facilities throughout the County. In fiscal year 2023, Park Operations oversaw the grant approval process for 10 different park improvements with a total value of over $1.3 million. When a premier athletic tournament facility was added to Patriot Park North, Park Operations and Maintenance staff collaborated with other divisions, user groups and stakeholders to ensure the success of this $22 million project, the first of its kind in Fairfax County. They provided crucial input on the design, yielding long-term cost savings for maintenance and replacement of key components. In addition, they developed maintenance standards geared toward high-frequency tournament play. With an emphasis on Sports Tourism in Fairfax County, Park Operations and Maintenance staff has provided outstanding event and maintenance support critical to the success of baseball and softball tournaments.

Often, staff must reprioritize when an issue arises, such as needing to repair a broken fence from storm damage. The Park Operations staff members also assist customers with questions or problems as they work in the parks. They truly are the gears that keep the Park Authority running, 365 days a year around the clock.

HIDDEN GEM

ELLANOR C. LAWRENCE PARK

At the northeast corner of the bustling new intersection of Route 28 and I-66 is Ellanor C. Lawrence Park (ECLP), a 650acre park with a history that spans 8,000 years. This historic park, generously donated by the Lawrence family, is mostly forested and includes streams, a pond, and is home to many species of plants and animals. Inside the Walney Visitor Center you can learn about the natural and cultural history of the park, see live reptiles and amphibians, enjoy children’s hands-on activities or pick from a broad range of programs on nature and history topics. There are nature camps, school field trips and scout programs. Public programs include wagon rides, van tours and campfires. The site can host birthday parties, and the historic mill

can be rented for private events. Summer also brings Arts in the Parks programs. Trails also course past historic cultural resources that remain from the parkland’s days as a farm. Buildings include an 18th century mill, a miller’s house and outbuildings. You might get a smile out of the fake meat hanging in the smokehouse. If you visit during cold weather months, look for the black rat snakes hibernating in the ice house. Artifacts dating back to prehistoric years have been found at ECLP. Pick up the historic tour map brochure and take a “Walk Through Time”! Learn more about this historic park at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/ecl

Embrace and Reclaim the Night with Lights Out Fairfax Dark skies have been increasingly obscured by the glow of artificial light. This surge in light pollution affects stargazing as well as the delicate balance of nature.. Light pollution is caused by inappropriate or excessive use of artificial light and holds environmental consequences for humans, wildlife and our climate. The remedy lies in understanding and curbing light pollution through responsible outdoor lighting practices. With nearly 10% of Fairfax County covered by parks situated in diverse environments, adopting dark sky-friendly lighting becomes paramount for ecologically sensitive areas. Light trespass and pollution impact wildlife by disrupting migrating bird navigation and hindering nocturnal animals’ ability to hunt and feed. There are ways to make an impact and reclaim the night in your community. Join the movement with Lights Out Fairfax on March 23 from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Discover One Dark Hour by turning off outdoor lights. Engage your family, friends and neighbors in this powerful connection with the natural world. Help protect our dark skies and explore the impact of light pollution during International Dark Sky Week from April 15 through April 22. Understand the economic benefits of dark sky conservation and its effects on human health, safety and the environment. Learn about outdoor lighting requirements and contribute to the cause by visiting the Dark Skies webpage at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/topics/dark-skies.

Todos los niños deberían aprender a nadar (Every child should learn to swim!) Fairfax County Park Authority is excited to begin offering swim lessons taught in Spanish at multiple Rec Centers. The pilot program ran at George Washington Rec Center and is being expanded this spring to include several other sites. The classes will be taught by bilingual instructors using the Virginia Swims curriculum. “In evaluating our programs, we noticed we were missing a key demographic of Fairfax County” said Levi Lainhart, the Aquatics Section Programs manager. “We have a dedicated group of bilingual Learn to Swim instructors, so offering Spanish-only lessons was a great way to reach that community and promote being safe in the water.” The Park Authority will be looking at ways to increase offerings by using bilingual instructors at various Rec Centers and will be looking to add lessons in other languages if possible. “Fairfax County has such a diverse population, the Park Authority needs to do all we can to ensure that there are no barriers in a child taking swim lessons,” Lainhart says. For information on swim lessons in Spanish please check Parktakes Online or reach out to your local Rec Center (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/reccenter).

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/ada-inclusion.

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

Aquatics Scan the QR code to go directly to the Parktakes Online Aquatics page. 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 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. Mastering skills takes time, practice and patience. Combining course levels When enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations. Pool Health Information For more information about practicing healthy swim habits, please visit: visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ parks/rules/pool/pool-health

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 provide more practice time than large-group lessons. Traditional group lessons offer a comprehensive curriculum for participants ranging in age from 6 mos. to adult.
