The Fairfax County Park Authority invites the community to a ribbon-cutting celebration recognizing recent upgrades to the softball fields at Wakefield Park on Tuesday, June 30 at 6 p.m. The event will be held on field eight at Wakefield Park, located at 8100 Braddock Road in Annandale.

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, guests are invited to stay for a friendly girls softball game. Families, friends, players and fans are encouraged to bring their team spirit and help celebrate this exciting investment in the community’s athletic facilities.

The celebration will highlight improvements to Wakefield’s diamond fields, including renovated playing surfaces and amenities, upgraded LED lighting, new dugouts, new fencing, added batting cages, and new picnic tables and bleachers.

As part of the project, field eight has been converted into a state-of-the-art synthetic turf surface. With these upgrades, Wakefield Park now offers the only synthetic turf field in the region dedicated to youth softball programs, expanding opportunities for play in a variety of weather conditions and extending the usable season for local teams.
