Many local parks and other recreation venues surround Manassas Park, Woodbridge, Gainesville, and other cities in Prince William County. Living near green spaces can not only improve the view as you drive to and from work or school, but it can also improve both your mental and physical health.

Six students from the Chick-fil-A Leadership Project visited an area nursing home this month to bring some holiday cheer.
In a partnership with Chick-fil-A Bristow and Youth for Tomorrow, students have monthly leadership projects within this program. December’s was “Do Good December.”
The holiday season is often a time for overindulging in food, while the colder temperatures and shorter days typically are associated with much less physical activity than we need.
