Park Authority Wins NAGC Awards for Communications

Bike RackThe Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) received two awards at the 2023 National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) Blue Pencil and Gold Screen Awards for excellence in government communications.

With more than 420 parks and more than 334 miles of trails, the FCPA has worked hard to promote biking as a safe and reliable transportation choice for recreational destinations and to help encourage awareness and understanding of the park system network. A new FCPA Logo Bike Rack design was honored with a second-place award in the Graphics-Brand Identity category. The unique bike racks were developed in the shape of the FCPA logo to not only provide safe storage for bikes, but also to serve as branded identity for FCPA parks.

Parktakes Magazine was again honored in the Print-Magazine category. The magazine is delivered quarterly in print and online. Parktakes, with more than 81,000 print subscribers and well over 100,000 online readers, is the main marketing tool to publicize classes, programs and events being offered by the Park Authority each quarter.
