Parks & Recreation
From its beautiful and plentiful parks to its numerous RECenters and community centers, Fairfax County is the perfect place to have fun, relax and learn something new. Our Park Authority protects and preserves precious natural resources, ensuring that everyone will be able to appreciate and enjoy them. In addition to the major parks, there are also nature centers, historic sites, and many golf courses to experience and explore.
For more than 40 years, the Department of Community and Recreation Services has offered a variety of recreational opportunities for all ages through its community centers, teen centers, senior centers, and programs for individuals with disabilities.
