Ginny Biggs, Volunteer Program Manager COMPLETE LISTINGS POSITION DESCRIPTIONS HIGHLIGHTS... Family Recreation Area at Lee District Park Plans are underway for a family activity complex unlike anything else in Fairfax County or the metropolitan area - a dedicated outdoor recreation area that will engage children in physical activity and spark their imaginations with creative play. This magical place will bring families together with old-fashioned and thoroughly modern play elements that are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. The Family Recreation Area will be located within the 138-acre Lee District Park, just three miles from the Beltway. The Family Recreation Area will includes: • A Treehouse overlooking a forest and stream valley. The Treehouse will be entered from gently-sloping ramps accessible to children and adults in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. • A Spray Park where water showers from fanciful structures, providing a safe and fun activity on hot summer days. • A Playground with slides, swings and other equipment specially designed for use by all children, including those with disabilities. • An old-fashioned, fully accessible Carousel. • A Family Picnic Area with covered shelters. • Restrooms, changing rooms and other support facilities for a day of family fun. Construction of this first phase of the project is planned to begin in early 2010 for a summer 2011 opening.  CURRENTLY IN NEED OF...

One of his proudest accomplishments has been securing the spot as the Senior Olympics Ping Pong Champion for the last 2 years!
