The Fairfax County Park Authority will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate recent improvements at Hybla Valley Park, located at 3431 Lockheed Blvd. in Alexandria, on Friday, May 8, at 4:30 p.m.

Tucked between neighborhoods and just steps from Hybla Valley Elementary School, Hybla Valley Park is emerging as a hidden gem in Fairfax County’s Franconia District. The modest 2.3-acre park recently received thoughtful upgrades that make it an inviting destination for families and neighbors alike, especially when paired with nearby attractions like Mount Vernon Woods Park, Mount Vernon Rec Center and Huntley Meadows Park.

Recent improvements transformed underused areas into vibrant community spaces. The former tennis courts are now home to a dedicated futsal court and a basketball court, while the practice tennis court has been reimagined as a colorful playground designed for all ages and abilities. Additional upgrades include renovated parking, new site furnishings and more places to sit and relax throughout the park.

“These enhancements reflect our commitment to creating welcoming, accessible neighborhood parks where everyone can play, relax and connect,” said Jai Cole, executive director of the Fairfax County Park Authority. “Hybla Valley Park is proof that great community spaces don’t have to be big to make a big impact.”
