Enjoy Using School Grounds This Summer

"School's out for summer" as the popular lyrics go. 

In addition to all possibilities at our parks and other places to enjoy summer, our Fairfax County Public Schools also welcome you.

School blacktops, playgrounds, outdoor basketball and tennis courts, and tracks are available for use by individuals (not organized groups) without being scheduled.

Please keep the following in mind when using these facilities:

  • Use is allowed from dawn to dusk, except during school hours or when being used for school activities or other scheduled programs.
  • Facilities must be shared with anyone else who wishes to use them.
  • Please leave the facilities as you found them. Remove any waste or debris from the property.
Visit the FCPS availability webpage for more information on the usage of school grounds and facilities.
