Soon, we will say goodbye to 2020, a year like no other to be sure. In my 20 years leading programs for the Park Authority, I never imagined a day when we would be unable to hold summer camps and Rec-PAC, learn-toswim lessons or summer concerts. COVID-19 brought us a reality that tested our resilience and our ability to safely provide programs in an ongoing pandemic.

The challenge was to completely reinvent our service delivery system. Within a short time, our first virtual programs were launched: exercise programs from home via Zoom.

By late June, we offered more than 400 virtual summer camps through our business partners, and more than 1,000 kids and teens participated. We also launched outdoor exercise programs, which quickly filled with people eager to do more than just walk around the block. When in-person concerts in our parks were canceled, we held 25 virtual concerts in August. Customized outdoor family programs at our nature centers and historic sites followed.

What I learned this year: Our parks matter more than ever. When the world shut down around us, one of the things that made a real difference was getting outside to exercise, explore nature and have some fun. Parks are an island in the storm. I’ve walked more trails and discovered places I didn’t know existed. When we were able to reopen, our staff members were so happy to welcome you back into our RECenters, golf courses and parks!

Cold weather approaching means moving indoors to keep active, and our staff remains committed to ensuring you can exercise or participate in indoor programs safely and our facilities can operate responsibility in an ongoing pandemic. Kids still need to learn how to swim, and our safety protocols include temperature checks, reservations for RECenter use, smaller class sizes to enable appropriate social distancing, regular cleaning between classes and reservations, and a requirement for everyone to wear a mask or face covering in our facilities when not actively exercising. We continue to do these things because we care and are committed to giving you choices to move your way. Whether working out on Zoom at home, on a treadmill at a RECenter, or staying inside or outside for classes, you can choose. And remember Spring is coming….

Finding the Key to

LIFELONG FITNESS

Ask Joe Vida for fitness advice, and you may be surprised at the answer. The Audrey Moore RECenter fitness director, health coach and personal trainer says the key to exercise is very simple.

“Find an activity you love to do, start out easy, be consistent and do it regularly – three to four days a week,” he said. “People in their 80s and 90s can build muscle strength, and knowing that should motivate anyone. It’s never too late.”

Vida has a lifelong track record for practicing what he preaches. He says he has loved running since he was a child – an interest that inspired his career path and ultimately led him to marathon running.

“I started with a 5K and then a 10K in 1991 while I was studying sports medicine and athletic training at Waynesburg University in Pennsylvania,” he said. “Then I decided to run in the Pittsburgh Marathon. After crossing the finish line, I was so fatigued, I said, ‘I’m never doing that again!’” A few days later, Vida thought it over and changed course. “I decided, ‘I have to improve on that.’”

Vida wanted to test his limits and see if he could go the 26.2-mile distance in the Boston Marathon.

He knew he would have to improve his Pittsburgh Marathon time of 4:02:47 by more than 50 minutes to qualify. With consistent training, he reached that milestone seven years later.

“I ran in my first Boston Marathon in 1999 and finished it in 3:03:01,” he recalled proudly. It was almost an hour faster than the then 27-year-old’s very first marathon time.

These days Vida enjoys running along the scenic trails in Fairfax County parks. One of his favorite training spots is the nearly 5-mile loop at Burke Lake Park.

“Fresh air is invigorating – particularly in the pandemic,” he said. “Being outdoors surrounded by trees near a beautiful lake is a great break from the mental stress of mask-wearing and being socially distant indoors.”

This year, Vida was concerned that the COVID-19 pandemic would dash his dream of reaching his next fitness milestone – the Boston Marathon Quarter Century Club. This elite distinction requires running in the prestigious race for 25 years straight. The usual April event was canceled for pandemic-related safety reasons, but the 2020 virtual Boston Marathon in September enabled Vida to keep his streak alive. Ever determined, he charted his 26.2-mile course along the trails near his Reston home and joined about 18,000 participants worldwide in running their individual race.

“My wife, Julie, has always supported my running goals,” Vida said. “For the virtual marathon, she met me at miles 9, 11, 18.5 and 21.5 providing key nutrients to get me to the finish line.” Julie also took pictures along the way and met him at the finish line with his commemorative jersey and flowers.

“Julie always has flowers for me when I see her at the finish line,” Vida said fondly. “It’s a tradition started by a dear aunt who passed away after my 13th Boston Marathon. Julie has kept the tradition ever since.”

If Vida can stay on track, he will reach his Boston Marathon Quarter Century Club goal in 2023.

Until then, he’ll continue following his own advice with regular training while leading others to better fitness at Audrey Moore RECenter.

“I want to run as well as I can for as long as I can, and I hope this story inspires others to set goals and live a healthier, more enjoyable life,” he said. “The body was designed for movement and more people would benefit tremendously from being more active.”

Exercise comes in many forms, and the Park Authority offers options for everyone from babies to super seniors. Find something you love in the Aquatics, Dance, Exercise and Fitness, Golf, Outdoor Recreation or Sports sections, register and get moving!

Water Exercise Improves Mobility Rosemary George knows how easy it is to take mobility for granted, until you lose it. For years, she enjoyed an active lifestyle with interests in hiking, horseback riding and leading her champion collies through the paces at dog shows. All of that changed abruptly in 2013 after hip replacement surgery.

“I am one of the few who had a bad outcome and a long recovery,” she said. “There’s a lot of scar tissue in my hip, and now it doesn’t function properly.”

The retired government technical writer says Park Authority water exercise classes made all the difference in helping her regain her mobility. She says the buoyancy of the water challenges her muscles with little impact on her joints.

“Water exercise is really the only exercise I can do at this point,” she said. “The instructors at Spring Hill RECenter have been really helpful and supportive.”

She was counting on that support to help her recover from knee replacement surgery in the spring. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, shuttering RECenters. With no access to the pool and a state-mandated stay-at-home order in place, George realized how much she needed the healing power of water exercise.

“My number one goal was to get back in the water, then everything was locked down,” she recalled. “The scar tissue tightened up, I was in constant pain, and I needed to use a cane for stability.”

When RECenters reopened in July, George says she couldn’t wait to make a reservation to work out in the Spring Hill pool. After just one week of daily, 90-minute water-walking sessions, George regained her mobility and proclaimed herself cane-free.

“I try to go every day in the 3:30 p.m. time slot,” she said enthusiastically. “The COVID-19 safety precautions are extremely thorough, and I really appreciate everything the staff is doing to keep us safe.

I’ve been completely confident, and others seem to be following the rules.”

Now that she’s back on her feet, George is determined to live her life to the fullest. She still breeds and shows collies, although she eagerly watches from the sidelines while a handler leads them through their paces. She appreciates the structure her daily RECenter pool reservation and workout bring to her day, and in the midst of the pandemic, she takes time to reflect on the things for which she is grateful, like her mobility and the opportunities that help her maintain her independence.

“I try to spend some time every day thinking of all the good things in my life,” she wrote in a note of appreciation to the Park Authority, “and these days, ‘pool reopened’ is part of that!”

Group Fitness Classes Welcome Safety Protocols Faten Faraj of Springfield makes fitness a priority, even during a pandemic. The first-time BodyPump student at Providence RECenter says a friend encouraged her to sign up. She says she is impressed with the Park Authority’s COVID-19 safety protocols that include a large fitness room, small class size to enable appropriate social distancing, temperature checks and frequent cleaning.

“The safety precautions are good,” she said as she prepared for her third class. “We are only six people here, and it feels like you’re in a personalized class! I’m ready to register for the next session.”

Across the room are classmates Anna and Scott Toney, a husband-and-wife team from Springfield. The longtime BodyPump participants carefully considered their choice to workout in a public facility. Ultimately, they decided that the benefits of regular exercise outweighed any pandemic-related concerns.

“You have to be cautious, but if you’re a healthy person, then it’s better to keep moving and exercise,” Scott Toney said. “Otherwise, you’re sitting around and not being healthy, and that’s worse.”

Research shows that regular exercises reduces stress and boosts the immune system, and mask wearing reduces the risk of spreading germs. Since widespread mask mandates went into effect in Virginia, Toney says he’s noticed his health has actually improved.

“I usually get a cold three or four times a year,” he said. “Since the pandemic and mask-wearing and social distancing, I have been healthy all year.”

To help assure safety, RECenter visitors are required to wear a mask at all times except when actively exercising. For social distancing reasons, visitors are limited only to those who are registered for a class or those who have a reservation for the pool or fitness room, and every part of the facility is sanitized between classes and reservation times.

“I think they’re doing a good job,” Anna Toney said. “Once you’re in, you can see how safe it is.”

COVID-19 safety protocols are the same at all nine Park Authority RECenters. To find a fitness class near you, turn to the Exercise and Fitness section.

To make a fitness room or pool reservation, call the RECenter of your choice or reserve a time online: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/recenter.

Winter Camps to Change with the Times For years, campers have enjoyed the fun and excitement Park Authority winter break camps have offered while school is out. This year will be no exception with a lineup of specialty camps for children ages 5 and older. All camps will be conducted with appropriate social distancing and other pandemic-related safety recommendations.

“Our camp staff has worked very hard to establish new safety practices that would enable us to offer winter break camp programs in accordance with current state and federal health guidelines,” said Youth Services Section Manager Ellen Werthmann. “Enrollment will be limited to enable appropriate social distancing, and masks will be required for non-athletic indoor camps, but there will be no limit on fun!”

Camps offer an important educational, social and emotional outlet for children, and staff members are looking forward to seeing campers learn new skills, make new friends and have fun.

Werthmann says this year’s winter break camps are sure to be especially meaningful for campers after being at home in front of a computer for so long.

“We know the situation is fluid, and our ability to offer camps may change as a result of changing public health concerns,” Werthmann said. “For now, our plan is to offer winter break camps that are both fun and enriching while ensuring safety and well-being for campers and staff. Online camps are also being offered to give families a variety of options.

In the event camps are canceled for pandemic-related reasons, customers will receive a refund to their account with no cancelation penalty. To register, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes or call (703) 222-4664.

Tee Time Leads to Prizes for Lucky Pinecrest Golfer It’s Sunday afternoon at Pinecrest Golf Course, and Thomas Tso of Fairfax is checking in for his weekly round of golf with his 14-year-old son, Joseph. It’s something they’ve done together for years, only this round is one for the memory books.

“I paid for the round, and when the employee looked at the sheet, he said it was for the 25,000th visitor, and people started pulling out poppers and balloons,” Tso said with a chuckle. “I thought it was for someone else!”

With his tee time on Oct. 5, Tso became the 25,000th customer to check in at Pinecrest since the course reopened in May following the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. To celebrate, Tso was awarded a Pinecrest gift basket and four rounds of golf and four cart rentals sponsored by local realtor E.J. Stone.

“I was pretty surprised and excited,” Tso’s son, Joseph, said. “I play here quite a bit.”

In fact, it’s Joseph who is the golfer in the family. His dad just comes along for the ride, camaraderie and quality time between father and son.

“It’s a great way to spend time outside, and we talk about all sorts of things, like school life,” Tso said. “It’s time away from the screen.”

“It’s really fun, even though he doesn’t play,” Joseph said about his father.

“Over time, watching me play, he’s learned the skills and has the knowledge of things like reading greens and the distance to the hole. He can advise me.”

It all started years ago when Tso noticed how much his son enjoyed playing mini golf. He wondered if golf would be a good sport for Joseph, so he decided to register him for a golf class at Pinecrest, and a budding golfer was born.

“We tried a lot of sports, and this is the one he enjoyed doing,” Tso recalled.

“The teachers were great and made it fun, and that’s what really got me into it” Joseph said enthusiastically. “The classes and lessons were very positive, and camps were really fun.”

Tso appreciates the value and opportunity Park Authority golf courses provide to the community. He says his father didn’t play, and golf was virtually unattainable to him as a child growing up in Asia.

“It’s very hard to play there, very expensive and there are not as many courses,” Tso said. “There are lots of courses here and they are very affordable.”

Joseph says his next goal is to make the golf team when he enters high school.

For now, he’ll continue to team up with his dad for their weekly outings and enjoy celebrating more milestone moments along the way.

For Exercise and Stress Relief – Try Golf!

Tired of walking around the block? Why not join the throngs of people who have taken up a sport that’s naturally socially distant: golf? Like courses across the nation, Park Authority golf courses are seeing an increase in business from beginners to returning players who are hungry for physical activity and an escape from the pandemic-related worries of the day. Golf is played outdoors in wide open spaces, and players can check in for their tee time by phone. Even on bitterly cold days, the Park Authority’s heated, covered driving ranges enable players to learn, practice and finetune the game in relative comfort, and instruction is offered year-round. Clubs are provided for classes and sanitized after each use, or you can bring your own clubs. Sign up for a class or private lessons, or book a tee time and get into the game! To find a course or golf class near you, turn to the golf section.

“I think I’ll play golf for the remainder of my life, because it’s really fun,” Joseph said.

Golf classes and private lessons are offered at most Park Authority golf courses.

artiFACTS Brings History to Life If you like mysteries and history, you'll love the Park Authority’s artiFACTS web page chock full of interesting tidbits about Fairfax County history.

For example, there’s the story of the child-size tea set salvaged from a yard sale.

It turns out to be part of Sully Historic Site’s past.

There’s also the story behind a mysterious object and a cryptic note left in the dead of night at Colvin Run Mill. What is the object used for, and why was it taken from the mill 20 years earlier?

Then there’s the snippet of history from a 1917 newspaper clipping about women’s suffrage that was found during the demolition of an old, unsalvageable Fairfax County house. The discovery comes in the 100th anniversary year of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving U.S. women the right to vote.

These are among thousands of historical artifacts managed by the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Archaeology and Collections Branch. Each item comes with a story, like the now 145-year old time capsule discovered in 1980 during a renovation at Walney Visitor Center at Ellanor C. Lawrence Park. What was found in it and why were the objects considered keepsakes?

8

The Park Authority’s archaeology artifacts date from prehistoric times to the 20th century. Some people may not understand the importance of these unearthed finds, such as pottery fragments, stone tools, straight pins or beads, but they’re all very important clues to the past and the people who have lived here in Fairfax County. Learn how our history detectives piece together fragments to restore items like an earthenware vessel dating between 1760 and 1820. It came from a slave quarters site. Curious? Check it out in artiFACTS online: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/artifacts.

The County Archaeological Research Team also shares stories about vintage finds on its blog, C.A.R.T Archaeology. Read it online: https://cartarchaeology.wordpress.com.

Lucky Dogs Make a Splash with

Virtual Dog Daze!

COVID-19 may have closed the Water Mine for the season, but it couldn’t stop the Dog Daze fun! Since the Water Mine at Lake Fairfax was off limits this year, the inaugural Virtual Dog Daze celebration gave pet lovers a chance to submit a picture of their pet pooch having fun in or near any body of water, including the bathtub! Out of five favorites, Koda, an energetic canine from Springfield was declared the overall top dog by guest judge and Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn. All 40 entrants received participation prizes thanks to sponsors Aquatic Paws, Weber’s Pet Supermarket and Giant. The 2020 virtual event was presented by the Fairfax County Park Foundation in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority. Donations were gratefully accepted and will benefit the Fairfax County Animal Shelter and the Park 8 Foundation in memory of Harley, a beloved rescue dog who loved running with the big dogs in Fairfax County parks.

Adapted Recreation Programs

ADA/Inclusion Support

In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fairfax County is committed to giving all residents equal access to recreational opportunities.

Park Authority activities, programs, camps and classes are inclusive, and reasonable accommodations are available for people with disabilities. ADA accommodations include sign interpreters, assistive listening devices, program modifications and inclusion support. To request accommodations, or for more information about adapted program opportunities, call (703) 324-8563. The Park Authority makes every attempt to provide accommodations; however, fulfillment of requests received with less than 10 days’ notice cannot be guaranteed.

Facility Accessibility

The Fairfax County Park Authority offers parks and facilities that are accessible to all Fairfax County residents. For information on accessible features or issues associated with usage, call (703) 324-8563 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.

Follow guidelines when registering

If it has been a month or longer since the student has participated in a swimming lesson, we suggest repeating the previous course completed. If you have any questions about which class is right for you or your child, please contact the Adapted Aquatics Coordinator at (703) 324-8565. For safety reasons and to ensure customers get the maximum aquatic program benefits, the Park Authority reserves the right to remove students from an inappropriate class and either issue a refund or place them, when possible, in a class that better matches their ability.

Practice and Repetition are keys to success

Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills. Students often repeat a level several times before developing the endurance and skill proficiency necessary for advancement.

Repeating a level does not constitute failure; it is to be expected. Mastering skills takes time, practice, and patience.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits

Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool to be closed to clean and sanitize the water. Under Health Department standards recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), accidents involving fecal matter now require longer pool closure. Prevention is far better than clean up, so please follow the CDC guidelines: • Children (and adults) who have had diarrhea in the last two weeks should not go swimming.

• Be sure to use the bathroom before getting into the pool and take frequent bathroom breaks. For public health reasons, standard diapers cannot be worn in the pool. Children who are not yet toilet trained must wear snug fitting plastic pants and/or a swim diaper under their bathing suit. Waist and legs on plastic pants or swim diapers must be snug enough to contain matter that could contaminate the pool. Please check diapers often, and change them in the locker room not on the pool deck.

• Adults who have continence issues should refrain from using the pool.

• Shower before entering the pool and after using the toilet.

• Avoid swallowing pool water or even getting it in your mouth.

Performing Arts • Pet Place Classes and programs may change due to pandemic-related issues. For up-to-date listings, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/parktakes.

Flexible training methods are employed for home management, problem solving and correction. Please note: • Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permitted in Park Authority classes.

• Bring a shot record with proof of DHLA rabies and parvovirus shots to the first class.

• All dogs must be legally licensed, vaccinated, wearing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area.

• Check with instructor at first class for proper leashes, collars and other equipment.

• An adult must stay with child handler if student is younger than 16 or does not have own transportation.

• All classes are held outdoors.

Register the handler, not the dog; one handler/ one dog per registration.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog Parks Owners of well-mannered canines can take their pets to fenced, off-leash dog parks for free play, a good run or a friendly romp with other dogs.

FCPA has nine established dog parks: • Baron Cameron, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave., Reston • Blake Lane, 10033 Blake Lane, Oakton • Chandon, 900 Palmer Drive, Herndon • Grist Mill, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alexandria • Lenclair, 6725 Lenclair St., Alexandria • Mason District, 6621 Columbia Pike, Annandale.

• Rock Hill District Park, 15150 Old Lee Road, Centreville.

• South Run, 7550 Reservation Drive, Springfield • Westgrove, 6801 Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria

Most of the Park Authority dog parks are public/ private partnerships, developed in cooperation with sponsoring organizations of pet owners. Volunteers assist with monitoring and cleaning up the facilities, making users aware of dog park rules and regulations and reporting maintenance needs to the Park Authority.

Dog parks are open year-round from 7 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset on weekends and Federal holidays. Neither Fairfax County nor the Fairfax County Park Authority is liable for any injury or damage caused by any dog in the off-leash area. For off-leash dog park rules and regulations, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/ parkrules/dogpark. htm, or call (703) 324-8594.
