Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access (PROSA) Strategy

The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) is developing the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Access (PROSA) Strategy to provide a roadmap for improved park access and a stronger balance of recreational experiences to meet the diverse needs of our countywide community. Building on the 2017 Parks & Recreation System Master Plan, Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2019 – 2023, and One Fairfax, the PROSA Strategy will provide a framework for equitable access to FCPA parks and the park system. Aligned with the Park Authority’s mission, vision, and values, the PROSA Strategy will:   

  • Improve 10-minute walk access to FCPA parks  
  • Enhance access to complete park experiences   
  • Enrich habitat connectivity between environmental corridors  
  • Analyze and prioritize recreation needs and projects with an equity lens 

The PROSA Strategy is anticipated to be completed in 2023.

Community Engagement

Phase 1: COMPLETED (2022)

The Park Authority conducted outreach in 2022, which included virtual workshops, a community survey, and in-person outreach. Please find below recordings of the virtual workshops.

Phase 2: COMPLETED (2023)

Building on the previous public engagement, the Park Authority conducted outreach in Summer 2023 focused on the proposed concepts included in the Draft PROSA Report Summary.
