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.fauquiercounty.gov.

ADA AccessibilityFauquier County Parks & Recreation Department is committed to giving all citizens equal access to recreation and leisure opportunities. In keeping with

that commitment and the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is the Department’s intent to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities in all Department programs, services, and facilities. Individuals with disabilities can contact the Department prior to an event or the start of a program to request disability-related accommodations. Adaptive aids and resources are available to assist qualified individuals. Requests for accommodations require a 72-hour notice.

In this issue you will find more than 250 spring and summer activities for all ages that help stimulate, educate, and refresh you!

Learn more about the County’s history with Legends by Lantern Light, Open House at #18 Schoolhouse and Daily Life in the 19th Century living history events. Sailing lessons at Crockett are back, where there are also astronomy viewings and early morning/late evening fishing dates. And explore your creative side with photography, pottery, guitar, racquetball, and jewelry making classes.

And be sure to start making your summer plans with the wide selection of swimming lessons, mini-camps, and a full day camp at Marshall Community Center.

Please remember that the Department wants to be sure that every child that wishes to participate in recreational programs can do so. To that end the Department has a variety of means to help offset fees and has established a scholarship fund to allow participation in many other community recreation programs. Please contact any of the regional offices for more information. And a special thanks to USA Swimming for its contribution to help keep swimming scholarships viable for another year!

For more details about all of these Fauquier County Parks and Recreation activities and great ways to improve your new year, visit the Parks and Recreation department at fauquiercounty.gov.

As always if you have any needs that are not being met, special comments, or if there is anything we can ever do better please feel free to call me or attend our monthly Board meeting, usually the first Wednesday of each month.

Spring, a time for re-creation. We hope you grow this spring and help those around you to grow as well and don’t forget to take advantage of all the opportunities awaiting you right here at the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department!

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.

(left to right): Mike Markley, (FCT Board Chairman), Jonathan Caron, (Jonathan Caron Construction, Inc.), Cathy Silvers (event emcee and star from ‘Happy Days’), Miles Friedman (Fauquier County Economic Development Director), Stephen Heyda (Fauquier Community Theater Board of Directors), & Larry Miller (Director, Fauquier County Department of Parks and Recreation) rededicate the newly renovated Theater on the Green.

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.

Let’s Go Back In Time! Step back in time and discover what life on the railroad was all about! The Warrenton Branch Greenway Caboose will be open for tours, every Saturday from 9a-11a, from April to October pending weather conditions.

Future volunteers or anyone interested in supporting the Warrenton Caboose Project should contact Ron Scullin at 540-349-1637 or [email protected]. www.warrentoncaboose.org

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 [email protected] 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 physical activities along with classes and camps.

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.

HEALTHY CHOICES

Region NewsFriends of Monroe ParkSince the establishment of Monroe Park, home of the Gold Mining Camp Museum, the only gold mining museum in Virginia, one of the primary reasons for the park’s success has been the community support group The Friends of Monroe Park. Members of FOMP initially raised $10,000 for the construction of the park and they continue to be active in fundraising, lending a hand with the park and community activities, and supporting the long range goals for the continuing development of the facility. FOMP’s two main activities are the Spring Egg Hunt, a free event for the children of the community, and the Goldvein Jubilee, their signature fundraising event for the park in September. These events require lots of planning and event volunteers so FOMP is always on the lookout for people who want to get give their time and talents to benefit the park. Call the Monroe Park office should you wish additional information about how to become a member of the Friends of Monroe Park and help out at these amazing events.
