NOTICE:
Accotink Playground Temporarily Closed: Due to safety concerns we have closed the playground until it can be repaired. Unfortunately, supply chain issues prevent us with knowing a reopening date.
Accotink Trail Temporarily Closed: A section of trail near the dam and in front of the spillway will be closed through Spring 2023 as we construct a new bridge. Click the link below to learn about alternate routes to circumnavigate the lake. The Cross County Trail is unaffected by this construction and will remain open.
Thank you for your patience.

For years the 26-horse antique carousel has been a favorite of area children. Built between 1937 and 1945, the carousel was purchased by the Park Authority in 1978 from Fairhill Farm antiques. The horses are handcarved and constructed out of wood and cast-aluminum. The horses are painted in whimsical colors and designs that appeal to children and adults alike. The carousel runs every 30 minutes when the marina is open.
