Athletic Fields
Pavilions and Picnic Areas with Grills

The Park Authority formally began the public planning process to revise the Lake Fairfax Master Plan on November 1, 2017, with a public information meeting that was attended by approximately 80 community members.Following this meeting, the public was invited to provide additional comments via the project web site, email, U.S. mail, and telephone. Comments have focused on preserving natural resources, trail improvements, and the addition of various types of facilities.

Staff reviewed the public comments, conducted further site and facility analysis, and began developing the draft master plan document and draft revised conceptual development plan (CDP) graphic. The draft master plan and (CDP) graphic was presented to the public on June 20, 2018. The draft master plan was well received by the public in attendance and a 30-day public comment period ensued. The majority of the comments received supported the master plan. The few concerns that were raised focused on potential issues with the proposed cabins, potential noise generated from planned facilities, and the water quality of the lake. After receiving these concerns, staff has updated the master plan and Conceptual Development Plan graphic to address these comments.
