A new skate park is planned for development at Mount Vernon Woods Park and the community is encouraged to share their input. Spohn Ranch, Inc., in coordination with the Fairfax County Park Authority, will host a survey to collect feedback on the proposed design for the skate park. Community members are encouraged to participate in the survey by Oct. 10, 2024.
The Park Authority and contractor, Spohn Ranch, Inc. will launch the discussion on the design at a virtual public meeting previously announced for Thursday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be accessible online at https://engage.fairfaxcounty.gov/mount-vernon-woods. A recording of the proceedings will be available following the meeting.
Comments and input received from the public meeting and the subsequent survey will inform the creation of final design concepts that are anticipated to be shared with the community for comment by early November for a 30-day comment period. Construction of the skatepark is currently anticipated for fall 2025.
The skatepark is phase II of the redevelopment of Mount Vernon Woods Park. Phase I is currently underway and is expected to conclude by early 2025. Mount Vernon Woods Park is located at 4014 Fielding St. in Alexandria.
