Construction Set To Begin On New Playground At Lake Accotink Park

SPRINGFIELD, VA — The Fairfax County Park Authority is scheduled to begin construction activities related to the installation of a new playground at Lake Accotink Park on Tuesday, Sept. 5.

The design will include a tower play structure with a winding slide, boulder climber, four swings, net climber, playhouse, dragonfly teeter-totter, musical panels, and tactile and visual features to provide children with a variety of play experiences.

The project will cost about $300,000 and was funded through one-time funding approved by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Supplemental funds will be provided through the Fairfax County Park Authority. The project is expected to be completed this fall.
