Remake Dale City: How the ‘Neabsco Greenway’ will bridge the gap

When I was a child, the woods behind Andrew Leitch Park in Dale City provided a great escape from the real world of a 9-year-old boy.

My imagination ran wild in those woods. We went hiking, used rope swings to cross a creek, built forts and treehouses, and always watched in despair when the creek flooded and washed them away. The fun part was building them all again.

More than 20 years later, it seems officials now see what I saw in those woods. The same paths we used to play on are now a part of the Neabsco Greenway trail system -- a series of trails from Leitch, through the Mapledale section of Dale City, ending at Lindendale Road.
