Whether you’re out and about for puppies or picnics, skating or swings, reading or running, our city parks are a great place to enjoy the summer. To keep our parks beautiful, safe, and welcoming for all of our neighbors, we ask that you:
🐩 Keep pets leashed. It's the law, it keeps them safe, and it ensures others are comfortable in shared park spaces. Use the dog park (11000 Berry St.) for off-leash time.
🕧 Remember that parks are open only from dawn to dusk.
🚯 Dispose of garbage and recycling in the bins or take it with you.
🚭 No smoking of any kind.
❌ Alcohol is prohibited.

Remember, if you see any maintenance issues, you can use Fairfax City Resolve aka Ready 311 (at https://www.fairfaxva.gov/Services/Fairfax-City-Resolve or on the app) to report it to the city. And if you see unsafe or illegal behavior, you can call the police department's non-emergency line at 703-385-7924 (711 TTY); call 911 for emergencies.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our parks lovely places to gather and play! Let's have a great summer!
