Prince William County Government: “Prince William County leaders, staff and members of the Lake Ridge community came together to celebrate the officially opening of the Occoquan Greenway Hedges Run Segment 3 Bridge that was installed earlier this summer.”
“The new bridge, for both pedestrians and bicyclists, is an upgrade to an existing trail, leased for public access from Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association, in the Lake Ridge community near the Occoquan Reservoir. The bridge and associated trail reroute replaces three splash-through creek crossings with a single elevated pedestrian/bicycle route.”

Press release: “Virginia is among the best states to play pickleball, new study reveals. Virginia is the tenth-best state to play pickleball, with a final score of 55.0 out of 100.”
“Arizona was named the best and Louisiana the worst state for pickleball, due to the state’s rainy weather conditions and lack of indoor facilities.”

Hello, Potomac Local News members: Here's a list of distractions for you this weekend. I hope you find something fun to do as the Christmas season arrives.

Prince William Parks & Recreation: “Mark your calendars for this Friday, December 1 at 5:30 p.m., as we kick off our 2nd annual Holiday Walk of Lights at Neabsco Regional Park.”
The park is located at 15125 Blackburn Road, Woodbridge.

“This project, made possible by a $75,000 grant through the National Wildlife Federation’s Chesapeake WILD program, is a testament to the successful restoration efforts of Public Works and to the power of regional partnerships. The Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) submitted the grant application and will join County staff in working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery and the George Mason University Potomac Environmental Research and Education Center (PEREC) to administer the program.”

Prince William Parks & Recreation: “Please join us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony as we celebrate the addition of the Occoquan Greenway Hedges Run Segment 3 Bridge.”
The event will take place on Thursday, December 7, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. You can find the bridge between Hedges Run Drive and Mohican Road. Parking details can be found online.
