Laurel Hill Park Hours: Dawn to dusk

Laurel Hill Park has open spaces, historical buildings, modern facilities and trails. The equestrian facilities are located on the site of the old Lorton Reformatory, on land that was once a dairy farm for the prison. The area is a mix of historical fabric and modern development. The Master Plan for the park calls for possible additional equestrian facilities as funding is available.

There is no staff onsite. Staffing for Laurel Hill Park for equestrian matters is handled by the Equestrian and Maintenance Manager at Frying Pan Farm Park (703-437-9101) and FCPA's Area Maintenance staff (703-324-8594). Other park oversight is handled by dedicated volunteer groups such as Fairfax4Horses and Clifton Horse Society.

Fees/Reservations/Permits
