WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Prince William has a new Department of Parks and Recreation after officials voted Tuesday to merge county government with the Prince William County Park Authority – an independent corporation in continuous existence since 1977.

The merger puts control of all 67 properties owned by the Authority in the hands of the county government, under the leadership of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors. The independent parks board will now be merged with the county to become a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
