Providence District Field Development Priorities Report
The purpose of the Providence District Field Development Priorities Report is to evaluate the priorities for athletic field development on Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA or PA) property within Providence District. In making that determination, the Providence District Athletic Field Task Force (AFTF), established under the auspices of Supervisor Linda Smyth, surveyed the Park Authority inventory, evaluated the existing needs of community users, considered a variety of different development options (including artificial turf, lighting, irrigation, new field development, and related amenities), and ranked the possible projects in order of priority.
