Cute park, small. I’m not sure what age group this is geared towards more but some swings would have been perfect. There is a basketball and tennis court nearby, as well as a nice covered picnic area with 3 tables and one grill.

Nice park. Two dedicated pickleball courts. My husband and I were able to get some practice in without having to wait for a court!

Improvements have started at this park. A porta potty is available now and is intended for the use of the construction crew but was not locked on Sunday when I went by

This community public park has a lot of potential but 1) It has been used as a place to hold construction vehicles 2) It serves as a parking lot on the weekend (on the grass) 3) There is a long section that is inaccessible to the public because it is overgrown and there are no paths. So so much potential for this beautiful spot. I wonder why Fairfax county doesn’t work on improving the space.
