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.

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.
