The Fairfax County Park Authority is making significant improvements at Poplar Tree Park this fall with two projects to enhance the park's athletic facilities and visitor experience.

Starting Nov. 16, FCPA will replace the lighting cabinets that serve rectangular fields 1, 2 and 3. To complete this work safely, power to the park will be de-energized and is expected to remain off through January 2027. During this time, sports field lighting throughout the park will be unavailable.

FCPA will also conduct scheduled turf replacement on Fields 2 and 3 beginning Nov. 16 through early March 2027. During this time, the fields will be closed, and some parking spots may be impacted.

Park restrooms will close on Nov.16 and will remain closed until both projects are complete.

Poplar Tree Park is located at 4718 Stringfellow Road in Fairfax. For questions about this project, contact the Public Information Office at parkmail@fairfaxcounty.gov.

FCPA appreciates the public's patience as these improvements are made to enhance park facilities for visitors and athletic field users.
