The public is invited to the ribbon cutting of the new Hollin Hall playground at the Hollin Hall School site. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Fairfax County Park Authority Board will hold ribbon cutting ceremonies at 9 a.m.
The existing multi-age playground was obsolete and showing its age. The new playground features updated equipment that meets current playground safety and accessibility standards. There are two separate areas in the playground; one for very young children, and the other oriented to children ages 5 to 12. Both sections include a wide variety of play components for sliding, climbing, balancing, or crawling. The $150,000 project was funded through park bonds.
The five-acre park site was developed in the early 1990s. The park is located behind the school building which serves as a county senior center and a private day care facility. The park includes two diamond fields, batting cages, two multipurpose courts, sand volleyball courts, shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, trails, and a school age and tot lot playground.Â
