The Fairfax County Park Authority invites the community to a public meeting to discuss the Olander and Margaret Banks Neighborhood Park. The meeting will take place on Thursday, March 20, from 1-2 p.m. at Richard Byrd Library (7250 Commerce St., Springfield) in Meeting Rooms 1 and 2.

Located at 7400 Old Telegraph Road in Alexandria, Banks Park is a 10-acre green space in the Franconia District, adjacent to the Kingstowne community.

During the meeting, FCPA will present an overview of the park’s current conditions and discuss key considerations for future improvements. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and share feedback directly with the project team.

In addition to the meeting, beginning March 20, community members can submit comments online via PublicInput until April 20, 2025. After the public input period closes, FCPA will review all feedback and develop a concept plan for public review.
