The Fairfax County Park Authority has initiated a public planning process to revise the Master Plan for Kings Park Park, located at 8717 Trafalgar Court in Springfield. The existing Master Plan¹ for the park was approved in 1967. In 2006, the Park Authority acquired an adjacent one-acre tract that was formerly the site of the Royal Pool. The purpose of the Master Plan Revision is to update the General Management Plan and Conceptual Development Plan for the park and to consider future uses for the newly acquired tract.

Kings Park Park is a 9.2-acre local park surrounded on all four sides by single-family residences. The park is accessible by car from Trafalgar Court and Parkway Place and by foot from a trail leading to Cromwell Drive. The park has two parking lots, two tennis courts, two basketball courts, a playground, a small diamond ball field and a loop trail. The recently added one-acre tract has about ½ acre of open grassy area surrounded by woods (in 2007 the Park Authority removed all above-ground structures and filled in the pool area). The remaining areas of the park are forested with a perennial stream at the northern edge.

To kick-off the Kings Park Park planning process, a public information meeting was held on March 13, 2008. This meeting featured a presentation¹ about the site's current conditions, possible future uses, and the park master planning process. The presentation was followed with a moderated question-and-answer session to identify community concerns as well as suggestions for future park features.

Contact Information: Additional information and updates on the project will be made available on the Park Authority's website throughout the planning process. Once the draft master plan revision is completed, it will be presented for comment to the community through a public hearing, anticipated to be held in the fall of 2008.

Comments can be mailed to Diane Probus, Project Manager, Planning & Development Division, Fairfax County Park Authority, 12055 Government Center Parkway, Suite 406, Fairfax, VA 22035. Email comments should be sent to: Parkmail.
