Volunteers
Volunteers are an appreciated
and valuable part of the Parks and
Recreation team! On December
1, 2014, Fauquier County Parks
and Recreation implemented a
Volunteer Background Check
Program designed with measures
to protect children, safeguard
county resources, and help ensure
the overall safety of county
citizens. Volunteer positions
will require a background check
prior to the start of any volunteer
duties. If you would like to be a
new volunteer or continue your
involvement as an FCPR volunteer,
please complete the required
paperwork and consent form. For
more information,
call (540) 422-8550 or
visit our website at recreation.

SpecialObservances

Fauquier County Government, including Parks and Recreation, has been working on updating all
departmental websites. The website redesigns should be completed in early spring including a new park
finder application that will allow users to find county parks, facilities and greenways by location, name, and
activities.
On December 4, 2015 a crowd of theater enthusiasts, patrons, county and town officials gathered for a ribbon
cutting ceremony and the unveiling of a fresh new look inside the Theater on the Green at Vint Hill.
Seat cushions, covers, and arms have been replaced, the inside of the building has been painted and new flooring
and carpeting have been installed. The interior was intentionally renovated to maintain the theater’s 1950’s retro
color, material, fabrics and design themes.
Renovations were the result of a unique public private partnership between Fauquier County Department of Parks
and Recreation and the Fauquier Community Theatre. Renovations were funded through the county, and funds
obtained through generous donations
from Fauquier Community Theatre
patrons and various fundraisers.

protection that may also be used for recreational purposes.
Please enjoy our greenways and enhance the user experience by using common sense and common courtesy.
General Rules of the Path:
Trail/Road Intersections:
Trail and Road Intersection safety has been an ongoing challenge for municipalities across the country. The
Department is studying the issue and revising standards for our greenways and trails. Automobiles and trail
users should use caution when approaching all intersections and obey posted signage.
Sharrows
Fauquier County Parks and Recreation and the Town of Warrenton now have sharrows installed
on Aiken Drive and Walker Drive. Sharrows are bicycle symbols carefully placed to guide
bicyclists to the best place to ride on the road. They also serve as a reminder to drivers to share
the road with cyclists.

space when passing
• Follow the rules of the road

What’s New at the WCC?
The playground behind the Warrenton Community Center is
in the very beginning stages of a facelift that started with the
removal of the geo-dome jungle gym and the installment of a
new play structure. The playground surface is a first for Fauquier
County Parks & Rec, called Pour-In-Place, and is made up of a
surface layer of bonded rubber pellets and a sub-layer of bonded,
shredded rubber that makes a safe, spongy surface to land on.
A master plan is currently being worked on that will help include
the recreational needs of the community, Head Start, Senior
Center, individuals attending training at the Central Complex,
and visitors at the Community Center. The plan will also include
a connecting trail to the Warrenton Branch Greenway and to
Brumfield Elementary School, along with any future development
behind Home Depot.

How Can We Serve You?
The Department relies on trends, input from county residents,
and an educated opinion that a program might be a good
match for the community. However, we often lack sufficient
input to ensure the success of any given program.

Parks & Recreation is responsible for providing
workshops, classes, activities, clinics, programs, special
events, group and private lessons. Each region has a
programmer that is responsible for planning, scheduling, and
implementing programs in their respective region. However,
all four programmers collaborate on county-wide, special
events and programs such as summer camps.
We need your help to ensure we are serving you and your
family. Please take a moment to contact Eastern Region
Aquatics Manager and Programmer, Melissa Nester, at
540-428-3768 or Melissa.Nester@fauquiercounty.gov to
share with her your suggestions on previous, current or future
programs. You can also contact the other programmers
to share with them your thoughts on programs in the other
regions.
Don’t Sweat It!
The Vint Hill Village Green Community Center is ready
to keep you cool this spring and summer with its new air
conditioning system. The Center offers a diverse selection of

Get Fit this Spring with Swing and
Retro Big Band Music
The swing dance style
evolved alongside
jazz music in the
1920s. Swing dancing
provides an effective
aerobic workout that
raises the heart rate
and burns calories.
It also strengthens
bones and builds
muscles. Swing
dancing is a vigorous
aerobic workout that
raises your heart rate
and can leave you breathless. The average person burns nearly
300 calories per hour swing dancing. Like many other styles
of dance, swing dancing is a weight-bearing exercise, which
strengthens your bones. Dipping and twirling also help to build
muscle density and upper-body strength.
In February 2012, Marshall Community Center held its first Swing
Dance and now holds dances all year long. Please see page 12
for more information on Spring Dance which will feature a Swing
Dance Contest. The music is performed by The Silvertones
Swing Band and there is a complimentary lesson at the beginning
of every dance.
Featured Facility - Schoolhouse #18
Looking for historical stroll, add Schoolhouse #18 to your walking
route at Northern Fauquier Community Park and bring history to
your fitness routine. Public School Number 18 stands as sentinel
to schooling as it used to be. Immediately following the American
Civil War, the Commonwealth of Virginia dedicated itself to the
concept of free public education. Small community schools, such
as Number 18, dotted the countryside. Visit the old school and
step back in history and enjoy a guided tour of education the way
it once was decades ago. See page 37 for tour information also
for more information check-out the Fauquier County Parks and
Recreation, Northern region website or call the Northern Region
Community Park at (540) 422-8570 for more information.

C. M. Crockett Park
Welcome to Spring! With beautiful weather there is no
better time to have a picnic or hike the trails. To get
Spring started right, the park’s nature trail is nearly 1-mile
long through the woods. The park’s cross-country trail
traverses 1.5 miles in mostly open terrain. The fish in
Germantown Lake are hungry, growing bigger, and just
can’t wait to take your hook. Enjoy some leisurely boating,
have a get-together in one of the shelters, play volleyball
or horseshoes, do some wildlife or bird-watching, or just
sit under a tree and read a book. The concession stand is
now open Saturday & Sunday and then daily beginning
Memorial Day weekend. The concession stand sells live bait,
fish license, tackle, snacks, pizza, ice cream, healthy-option
snacks and cold drinks. You can rent a boat there as well!
Crockett Park is open 365 days a year!
