Established
in 1959, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority
operates a diverse system of regional parks that
include more than 10,000 acres, much of it undisturbed riverfront
property on the Potomac and Bull Run/Occoquan Rivers.
The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority enhances
the communities of Northern Virginia and enriches the lives
of their citizens through the conservation of regional
natural and cultural resources. It provides diverse regional
recreational and educational opportunities, and fosters
an understanding of the relationships between people and
their environment.
The Northern Virginia Regional Park Foundation was created
to generate new sources of revenue that will enable us
to expand, improve and conserve Northern Virginia’s
special natural and historic places and parklands.
