<p>Great communities have great parks. With over 22,500 acres in 416 parks, the <span class="yiv142309162yshortcuts" id="yiv142309162lw_1284923594_12">Fairfax County park system</span> is well used and highly regarded.

about 80% of whom visit our parks each year to enjoy nature, historic
sites, trails, sports, fitness, aquatics, programs, classes, events and
so much more. Accredited and nationally recognized for excellence,
Fairfax County's parks are ranked among the best in the nation.</p>
<p>As wonderful as our parks are, we must constantly strive to make
sure they meet the changing needs of our diversifying and rapidly
urbanizing community. The Park Authority launched the <a rel="nofollow" style="color: rgb(8, 69, 136); font-weight: bold;" target="_blank" href="http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/plandev/greatparks/">Great Parks, Great Communities</a>
effort to examine the park system and incorporate public views on how
to achieve balance within the park system in the future as communities
across the County evolve.</p>
