Changes Coming to Fairlington Park

Arlington County is preparing to update and add new features to the park next to the Fairlington Community Center (3308 S. Stafford Street).

Fairlington Park currently has exercise equipment, an exercise path, an athletic field, a playground, a gazebo and a small amphitheater.

The county says the scope of the upcoming park project will include “design and reconstruction of the playground, exercise equipment, circuit trail, picnic area, site circulation, site furnishings, fencing, stormwater management and landscaping.”

Before creating an initial design, the county is gathering community input, including via an online survey, which is active through April 15.

The survey asks a number of specific questions about exercise equipment, including: “would you like to be able to do a total-body workout in the park for strength and cardio fitness using equipment that’s similar to indoor fitness equipment?”
