Prince William Parks & Recreation: “Mark your calendars for this Friday, December 1 at 5:30 p.m., as we kick off our 2nd annual Holiday Walk of Lights at Neabsco Regional Park.”
The park is located at 15125 Blackburn Road, Woodbridge.
“This project, made possible by a $75,000 grant through the National Wildlife Federation’s Chesapeake WILD program, is a testament to the successful restoration efforts of Public Works and to the power of regional partnerships. The Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) submitted the grant application and will join County staff in working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery and the George Mason University Potomac Environmental Research and Education Center (PEREC) to administer the program.”

Stafford County: “The Environmental Division at Stafford County has been facilitating a stream restoration project at St. Clair Brooks Memorial Park to help prevent erosion. The stream restoration began major construction activities in March 2023.”
“The efforts in the restoration will reduce the amount of sediment and pollutants by arresting the rate of erosion within the channel. The project aims to improve water quality; reestablish a connection between the stream and its natural floodplain; provide better aquatic habitat; and deliver an aesthetically pleasing recreational site for nearby park and disc golf visitors.”
Prince William County Parks and Rec: “We regret to inform you that we’re canceling the Fridays at Five concert on July 28, 2023 on the Plaza at the McCoart Building due to the excessive heat in the forecast for this Friday.”
“The safety and well-being of our audience and artists are our top priority. With the scorching temperatures forecasted for that day we believe it’s best to avoid any potential risks associated with the prolonged exposure to high temperatures.”
