in Chantilly, VA 20151about Ellanor C. Lawrence Park:
Home to the Walney Visitor Center, Cabell's Mill/Middlegate complex, Walney Pond, various historic ruins, picnic tables, sports fields, and hiking trails, Ellanor C. Lawrence Park (part of the Fairfax County Park System) provides opportunities for visitors to bird watch, hike, exercise, discover the natural and cultural history of the land, picnic, participate in organized sports, attend an educational program, or just relax.
Kids' Korner, for children ages three through five (accompanied by an adult), is a program held once a month offering preschoolers the opportunity to learn a little nature and history through an outdoor activity and a craft. Reservations are required.
The park also offers a one-hour birthday party program, which includes an indoor session with live animals or site artifacts, a craft to make and take home, and more. When the one-hour program ends, groups may continue their party outside using the outdoor pavilion and/or back lawn.
