Prince William approves $10 million Doves Landing plan; few will use the area, says parks director

Prince William County leaders approved a master plan for Doves Landing Park, with conditions.

At 500 acres, the park outside Manassas will be the county's most extensive and will cater to passive users like hikers, kayakers, and birdwatchers.

The county's parks and recreation department says the park build-out will cost about $10 million and will be completed in phases. It will pay $2.4 million to design the newly-expanded park. Plans include a $4 million pedestrian bridge over the Occoquan River, new picnic shelters, bathrooms, dual kayak launches, and a second parking lot.
