Ellanor C. Lawrence Park (Walney Visitors Center)- Chantilly
Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, located in the Chantilly /Centreville area, offers a welcome
change from high-speed bordering roadways. The natural and cultural history of the
area is evident in every corner of the 600+ acre park. Visitors can spot wild turkey, deer
and red fox in the meadow, at Walney Pond, or along four miles of meandering trails. A
large variety of wildflowers, songbirds, and other plant and animal species can be
studied. The Walney Visitor Center, whose core dates back to 1780, features live
animal and history exhibits and a hands-on area to introduce the public to the park's
past and present. Surrounding the center, remains of a springhouse, icehouse and
other features link people to the land and offer clues to life on a 250-year-old Fairfax
County farm.
