Introducing Parktakes in Living Color!For the first time in its 30-year history, Parktakes is a full-color

publication from cover to cover! This enables us to organize the information in a way that we believe more clearly communicates Fairfax County Park Authority program offerings and photos of our award-winning parks. Our goal in using color is to help you search the publication more easily to find information about programs and park activities that are important to you.

This may seem like an expensive proposition, but the fact is after the most recent competitive bidding process, we determined that producing Parktakes in full color costs the Park

Authority no more than what it cost to print it in two colors as it was for decades. This is because advanced, high-speed printing equipment is configured to run process color as a standard to meet the demands of today’s publishing industry. As a result, the process of printing in full color is more efficient and cost-effective for long-run publications such as Parktakes.

It should be noted that no taxpayer dollars are used to print Parktakes. Instead, our costs are covered by park user fees and advertising sales. In addition, the printed publication is sent only to park users who request it, rather than to every household in the county, and about 25 percent of our 180,000 subscribers receive Parktakes electronically, further reducing our costs.

Just as our park system has evolved and expanded over time to meet the changing needs of our diverse community, Parktakes has evolved over the past three decades from a small, two-color pamphlet to a vibrant magazine showcasing all that our magnificent park system has to offer. To celebrate our new chapter, we've given the publication a little makover so that Parktakes can be more user-friendly than ever. We hope you enjoy the magazine’s new look!

“WOW!” That’s the one-word response many people exclaimed upon seeing the newly expanded and renovated Spring Hill RECenter for the first time. The facility, which opened December 13, includes a new regulation-sized gym with an elevated, three-lane track for walkers and runners; a new, two-story fitness center that is four times the size of the old one and features a new line of Cybex weight training machines; a custom-built TRX suspen-

sion system; five family changing rooms; plenty of space for additional fitness classes and lots of natural light.

“It’s really welcoming,” said Ranko Kettunen of Vienna who was among the first to try out the new walking track with her 4-year-old daughter, Julia. “I like the open space and brightness, and all of the equipment is really updated,” she said.

“The layout is really impressive,” said Daniel Hunziker of Woodbridge as he played one-on-one basketball with his friend, Justin Nguyen of Springfield. “It’s definitely one of the nicest facilities I’ve ever been in.” Nguyen, who used

to teach basketball at the old Spring Hill RECen-ter, agreed. “I had to come back on the first day to experience it,” he said enthusiastically. “I’m really proud of what they have done here. It’s like seeing your baby grow.”

Mark Damjan of Great Falls was equally im-pressed as he arrived with his 3-year-old daugh-ter, Danielle, for her swimming lesson. “Wow, this is an unexpected surprise. It’s beautiful,” he said as they stopped to marvel at the new gym on their way to the pool. “It’s new and exciting; equivalent to the new car smell.”

“I really like it because it’s really big and has a lot of space for a lot of people,” said 8-year-old Carlos Ordunez breathlessly while shooting baskets in the new gym. He was expending some opening-day energy along with his mother, while his 12-year-old brother, Pedro, had his swimming lesson. “Now the facility is more inviting,” said the boys’ mother, Yanelis La Rosa of Falls Church. “There’s the family changing rooms, and I also saw other new areas for yoga and other classes. We will definitely spend more time here as a family than before.”

The two-story fitness center with all-new exercise equipment is also getting rave reviews. “There’s so much more room,” said longtime RE-

Center member Wendy Laguarda. “I love the windows and the new Cybex machines. This is beyond my expectations. It’s a great, great facility. This could compete with the 24/7 [commercial] gyms.”

“It’s nice to look out and see tranquil woods and trees while you’re working out,” said RECenter member Carey Monts of Vienna, “and when the bad winter weather sets in, I’m going to really enjoy the indoor track.”

Amenities vary at each Fairfax County RECenter, and membership gives you privi-leges at all nine of them at no extra charge. To learn the unique features of each RECenter, see Parks at a Glance on page 10.

Like many members of the “sandwich” generation, Rosie Bombaugh always put everyone else’s needs ahead of her own. The Burke wife and mother was sandwiched between the responsibilities of caring for her high-school-age sons and her 90-year-old mother, and that left her with little time to do anything for herself. “I was always taking care of my family,” she said. “That’s the way I was raised. You make your family the priority.”

It was only after her sons were in college and her mother passed away that she realized what her selflessness had cost her personally. “I was very overweight and I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin,” she said. “If I could do it over again, I would have made time for myself.”

Bombaugh found her fitness motivation in the winter 2012 issue of Parktakes magazine. “I started looking at the classes in Parktakes and reading the profiles of other people older than me who had gotten fit and were active, and I thought, ‘If they can do it, I can do it.’ They inspired me to get moving.”

It had been years since Bombaugh had been active in tennis, swim-ming and martial arts, and she knew she would have to start slowly after years of sedentary living. She began with a class at South Run RECenter that would prepare her for something she never thought she would do – a 5K run. “I hated running from the time I was in high school, but the 5K-Team Beginner training class was really cool,” she said enthusiastically. “You mostly walk to begin with, and by the time the (11-week) class is over, you’re actually running the whole 3.1-mile distance. Now I love it!”

As her confidence increased, she added more exercise options to her schedule including the RECenter’s drop-in fitness classes, where she found more inspiration. “You need that camaraderie that comes in class,” she said. “You need the group to give you that push to get out of your comfort zone.”

Eventually, she found herself training with a personal trainer and signed up for a swimming class in preparation for something else she never thought she’d do – a triathlon. “The swimming class I took was amazing! Here was this 20-something-year-old teaching me. He had me swimming a mile in 25 minutes. I was amazed.”

One of her greatest accomplishments came in Washington, D.C. last fall when the 4’11” exercise

enthusiast ran for the first time in the Marine Corps Marathon. “I cried at the end when I crossed the finish line because I thought, ‘What a neat thing that my kids can see that their mom just pulled 26.3 miles!’”

These days the 51-year-old dynamo feels far younger than her years, and she marvels at her results since launching her personal fitness campaign two years ago. She is 35 lbs. lighter, she has more energy than ever, and she now looks forward to working out almost daily. “I run three days per week, swim at least two times per week and do core work in between,” she said. And she still finds inspira-tion in Parktakes. “I read the [fall 2014] story about the 72-year-old guy who got fit and now competes in the Senior Olympics,” she said, “and I found out that the competition is for people age 50 and older. So I thought, ‘Hey, maybe I should try that,’ although the people I have to beat are 60 years old and running seven-minute miles. That’s crazy!” With encouragement from her family, friends and col-leagues at South Run RECenter, Bombaugh says she’s up to the challenge. After all, she says it’s not really about winning or losing. It’s about making personal wellness a priority. “You don’t have to be the fastest or the fittest or the thinnest.” she said. “You just need to get out there and do something.”

Park Authority RECenters have multiple training options. To learn more, call or stop by the RECenter nearest you. See page 12 for locations and contact information.

Put a unique spin on your fitness routine with log rolling at Mt. Vernon RECenter! “It’s a great way to work on balance, coordination and core strength without doing situps,” said Mt. Vernon aquatics director Britta Stratford. “It doesn’t feel like exercise; it’s just a fun challenge.” Stratford’s 7-year-old daughter, Olivia, was among the first children to try out log rolling at the RECenter. “I like it because you get to run, and it’s different than just swimming,” she said.

In traditional log rolling, two competitors balance themselves on a log floating in the water and begin rolling the log with their feet. The goal is to outlast your opponent and roll the log in a way that gets them to fall off the log and into the water within a certain time limit. Rather than using a tra-ditional timber, the log at Mt. Vernon RECenter is a new product made of the same synthetic material used in modern-day kayaks. The hollow core makes it easy to transport to the pool, where it’s filled with 50 gallons of water to mimic the weight of a log. Each student first learns to balance on and roll the log individually and then progresses to matches with a competitor. “It’s addicting fun, and it generates a lot of interest from swimmers when we put

the log in the pool,” Stratford said. The sport of log rolling dates back to the 19th century. It de-

veloped from the North American river log drives, when lum-berjacks floated logs from the forests downriver to the sawmill towns. The log drivers would run back and forth across the river of logs, guiding them down river to try to prevent the logs from jamming up. Because a floating log spins quickly when you step on it, the log drivers quickly learned to step atop the spinning logs, avoiding the icy water and the oncoming floating lumber. They realized it was pretty fun and challenged one another to matches, and the sport of log rolling was born.

Several log rolling classes are being offered this spring. To find a class that’s convenient for you, turn to the Aquatics section.

7Spring 2015

Look up this spring, and you’re sure to see one of the greatest shows on Earth as colorful, neo-tropical migrant birds flock north from their winter homes in Central and South America. Northern Virginia is one of the best areas for bird watching because of its location near the coast, the mountains and along the north/south divider, and Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria is a great place to spot birds. Its accessible boardwalk leads you out to the park’s wetland giving you a chance to see birds you would normally have to go to the Chesapeake Bay to see. Last year, the wetland was fully restored.

“Our goal is to attract species back to the wetland that have been absent or noticeably reduced over the last few decades,” park manager Kevin Munroe said. “We have seen rails, bitterns and grebes visit the wetland since the project construction finished, so now we’re crossing our fingers that they will judge our work good enough to come back in the spring and raise young.”

Everything from weather patterns to seasons can have an impact on migration, and Munroe says what you see in Fairfax County depends on where you look. While some birds may be attracted to Huntley Meadows wetland, distinctive features in other Fairfax County parks attract birds you wouldn’t necessarily see at Huntley Meadows. Perhaps the best aspect of birding is you can do it any-where – from the big city to your own backyard – and you can do it anytime and in any season.

“Patience, good observation skills and plenty of enthusiasm are really all you need,” Munroe said, “but a good pair of binoculars, a bird field guide and weather-appropriate clothes will help.” For best results, Munroe says knowing where and when to look increases your odds of success. “The last week of April through the first week of May is usually the peak time when most birds are mov-ing through. Dawn and dusk are by far the best times of day to look, so give yourself an hour or two on the wetland boardwalk at the beginning or end of the day, try to be both still and quiet for a while, and you’re almost guaranteed to see wildlife you haven’t seen in Fairfax County before.”

Whether you’re a beginning or experienced birder, the Park Authority offers many options for learning about birds. To find the perfect program for you, turn to the Nature section of Parktakes, or stop by or call the nature or visitor center at your favorite park.

Celebrate the first signs of spring by attending the Bluebells at the Bend festival Saturday, April 11 at Riverbend Park in Great Falls! These breathtaking beauties usher in springtime by carpeting the park’s flood-plain with their magnificent blooms, and the bluebells are so abundant in some areas you can’t see an end! To 19th century poets, bluebells symbolized solitude. In the Victorian language of flowers, they repre-sent constancy. See for yourself the glorious display that draws genera-tions of wildflower watchers to Riverbend Park. For festival details, see the Events section of Parktakes.

You can also learn about other harbingers of spring during wildflower walks and cherry blossom activities in several Fairfax County Parks. For more information, see the Nature, Gardening and History sections.

Kiddie Camp offers Fun for Preschoolers

School-age children always look forward to fun at summer camp, and now there are options for their younger brothers and sisters will get extra hour of fun at Kiddie Camp! The half-day camp now offers four hours of daily fun, with outdoor games, water play, music,

movement, arts and crafts and a special event for 3-to-5-year-old children. Parents of children who at-tended Kiddie Camp last spring and summer gave it high marks in a post-camp survey.

“The counselors were so enthusiastic and really great with the kids,” said one parent whose son at-tended Kiddie Camp at Lee District RECenter. “They stole my heart immediately, and I felt totally confident leaving my child in their care.”

“I loved the variety of activities and that they took the kiddos into the pool three times,” said another parent whose son attended Kiddie Camp at Provi-dence RECenter. “It helped my son build confidence in the water.”

“The counselors really engaged the children in all activities instead of simply watching them play,” said a parent whose child attended Kiddie Camp at Spring Hill RECenter. “This can be challenging with such young children.”

The Park Authority offers spring and summer Kiddie Camps at five locations across Fairfax County. To find the location nearest you, turn to the Camps section.

As always, you’ll find a wide variety of full- and half-day spring and summer day camps for school-age children in the Camps section. This year, the Park Authority is introducing some exciting new camps along with its timeless classics.

New Community Center Comes to Providence District

Providence Community Center, located at 3001 Vaden Dr. in Fairfax, is now open. One unique feature of the new facility is a sensory room. This room offers individuals of all ages and abilities an opportunity to explore various ways of sen-

sory stimulation while experiencing benefits such as relaxation, learning, communication, memory, focus, concentration and social skill development.

The facility also includes a commercial kitchen, senior center, computer room, gymnasium and office of Providence District Supervisor Linda Q. Smyth. It is operated by the Fairfax County Department of Neighbor-hood and Community Services.

Providence RECenter on Marc Dr. in Falls Church continues to offer recreational opportunities for children and adults. Ameni-ties include the pool, spa, fitness center, raquetball courts, classes and camps, and membership entitles you to access at all nine Fairfax County Park Authority RECenters. For loca-tions, see page 12 of Parktakes.

Golfers of all abilities will soon be able to hone their short-game skills at a new practice area at Twin Lakes Golf Course. The facility’s larger, new practice putting green should be ready for play in time for the spring season, and the old practice putting area will be converted into a practice chipping green.

“Eighty percent of the score in a golf round is attained within 100 yards of the green, and that’s the part you really need to practice,” said Twin Lakes superintendent Scott Hamm. “Now, we have a dedi-cated putting area and a dedicated chipping area that allow players to work on their short game without the pressure of going on the course and playing a full round.”

Hamm says the larger, sand-based putting green was created to USGA standards and “more closely matches the characteristics of the Oaks course,” which opened in 1998. The new practice areas plus the driving range provides a full complement to the facility’s two, 18-hole courses. “The practice greens also give us more options for golf lessons and camps,” Hamm said.

The new practice greens aren’t the only changes at Twin Lakes. All of the Oaks Course bunkers have been renovated to modern-day standards.

“They’re state-of-the-art,” Hamm said. “The feedback from our customers has been very positive.” The

new Oaks Course bunkers were created using the "Better Billy Bun-ker Method," invented by Billy Fuller, former longtime superintendent of the Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament.

The entire bunker below the sand is filled with three inches of gravel and topped with a polymer coating. This enables water to filter through the sand. “Now, when it rains, there’s virtually no washout of bunkers, which was our biggest complaint with the old system,” Hamm said. The long-range plan is to upgrade the existing bunkers on the Lakes Course as funding becomes available.

The Twin Lakes course and practice-area improvements come on the heels of the facility’s clubhouse Oaks Room expan-

sion, which was completed in spring 2014 to accommodate larger tourna-ments and special occasion celebrations. To book the Oaks Room for your special event, call 703-631-9099 or e-mail [email protected].

Spring Hill RECenter holds many happy memories for Gary and Carmen Borda. “The RECenter has been a big part of our family,”

said Carmen, a retired federal government engineer. “Our kids started swimming lessons

here when they were infants.” When they were teenagers they served as lifeguards, and now Jared,

a college senior, is working as a camp counselor at Spring Hill.

“We like this location; it’s been a safe place for our kids,” Carmen said. “We like the sense of community here.”The Bordas say the RECenter kept the whole family engaged in activities over the years, and now Gary and Carmen spend some of their free time volunteering at the site. “We no longer work, and we like to give back to the community,” Carmen said. “I do administrative work here and anything else that needs to be done.” She helps with camps, sets up for art classes and sorts through lost-and-found items every few weeks. Gary, a retired federal government attorney and engineer, helps in other ways. “I volunteer in the fitness room helping with machine maintenance and helping customers with the equipment,” he said. “It makes me feel like I’m doing something worthwhile, helping people and getting to know people.”One thing the Bordas really appreciate about volunteering at Spring Hill RECenter is the ability to flex their hours. “Other volunteer jobs require you to be on a strict schedule,” Carmen said. “This one

is very flexible.” That enables the Bordas to work their volunteer hours around travel schedules as well as their other community volunteer jobs including coaching youth wrestling, ushering at Wolf Trap’s Filene Center, teaching English as a Second Language classes, assisting at citizenship and naturalization workshops and helping with community events.“We’re busier now than we were when we worked,” Gary said with a grin. The difference is retirement allows them to choose the work they consider more of a calling, rather than a job. “I just like helping other people,” Carmen said. “It makes me feel happy.”

The Fairfax County Park Authority’s aquatic facilities offer something for everyone. From infants to senior citizens to people with special needs, we serve all levels of swimming ability and aquatic interests.

Monthly calendars listing pool hours are avail-able at the Park Authority’s nine RECenters and online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/wp-re-center.htm.

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 aquatic staff at your favorite RECenter. For safety reasons and to ensure that 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 level.

Practice and Repetition are keys to success Each student progresses at a different speed in learning aquatic skills, depending on a number of factors including class attendance, coordination, water familiarity and outside practice. Students often repeat a level several times before develop-ing 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.

Combining course levelsWhen enrollment is low, course levels may be combined to avoid class cancelations.

Practice Healthy Swimming Habits Accidents in the pool involving vomit or fecal matter require the pool being 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, go on 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 dia-pers 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.

Aquatic Specialty ClassesNew! Log Rolling for BeginnersPrerequisite: Must be able to swim at least 25 yds. and comfortably tread water for at least one minute. Before roads and trains, logs were transported by rivers from the forests to sawmills by lumberjacks. The critical, 19th century log-rolling skills later evolved into a competitive sport that still exists today. It focuses on footwork, core strength, balance and quick thinking to stay on top of the floating log. The spinning log stoops and changes direction in response to your weight placement and footwork. Participants learn to balance and control the log. One-piece bathing suit covered by clean, tight-fitting swim shorts or pants that are easy to move in and come to your knees (such as yoga or bike pants) are highly recommended.

Pet PlaceOur dog obedience classes help build a strong relationship between pet and handler by developing understanding and communication. Flexible training methods are employed for home management, prob-lem solving and correction. Please note:• Dogs that display fear or aggression are not permit-

ted 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, wear-

ing a visible dog license and leashed when entering or leaving the class area.

• Check with instructor at first class for proper leash-es, collars and other equipment.

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

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

Dog Training One-on-OneLake Accotink Park offers individualized dog training lessons taught by an instructor with more than 20 years of experience actively training dogs, training other people how to train dogs, and competing in dog sports. Sessions are customized to your dog’s level of behavioral development and tailored to your schedule. Includes a pre-session phone consultation with the instructor to determine your goals and to set a date and time for your first session. An excellent option for busy people who need more flexibility than weekly lessons can provide.

Off-Leash Dogs Welcome in Special Dog ParksOwners 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 eight established dog parks:• Blake Lane, 10033 Blake Lane, Oakton • Baron Cameron, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave.,

Reston• South Run, 7550 Reservation Drive, Springfield • Mason District, 6621 Columbia Pike, Annandale. • Chandon, 900 Palmer Drive, Herndon• Rock Hill District Park, 15150 Old Lee Rd., Cen-

treville.• Grist Mill, 4710 Mt. Vernon Memorial Hwy, Alex-

andria• Westgrove, 6801 Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria

All Park Authority dog parks are public/private part-nerships, developed in cooperation with sponsoring organizations of pet owners. The sponsors are the agency’s liaison between users and local residents, Animal Control and the Police Department. They monitor and clean up the facilities, publicize dog park rules and regulations, and report maintenance needs to the Park Authority. Dog parks are open year round from sunup to sundown. Off-leash dog park users do so at their own risk. 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.fairfaxcoun-ty.gov/parks/parkrules/dogpark.htm, or call 703-324-8594.
