Cook t is an honor to welcome you to Fairfax County and the Braddock I District. As you will soon discover, this County is filled with activities, resources, and opportunities for all to en- joy. I would like to highlight a few in Braddock. Autumn is the perfect time to explore Braddock’s lakes and parks. Lake Accotink Park is the environmental gem of the Braddock District, with a scenic 50-acre lake and a variety of activities surrounding it. Visitors can play mini-golf, rent boats, walk a 4-mile loop trail, ride a carousel, and en- joy the well-stocked snack bar. Another outdoor locale residents enjoy is Royal Lake Park. There, families can enjoy playgrounds and easy walking trails around a smaller, but beautiful lake. Nature lovers and outdoorsmen will feel right at home here. THE SCHOOLS in our District are some of the best in the nation. Every year, our elementary and middle schools receive top- Photo by Andrea Worker/The Connection scores in state and national standardized Top-rated high schools: One of the shining stars from testing.

  • A Flickering Tribute to Mason's Music Scene
    From Dolly Parton to Megadeth: A Flickering Tribute to Mason’s Music Scene ver the past 30+ years, Mason’s 10,000-seat arena has been a big part of campus life and the Northern Virginia community. Since its 1985 opening, the Patriot Center (now EagleBank Arena) has been visited by more than 12 million patrons for more than 3,600 events that have ranged from ultimate fighting to the Harlem Globetrotters. InO 2010, Billboard magazine ranked the Patriot Center No. 8 nationwide and No. 18 worldwide among top-grossing venues with a capacity between 10,001 and 15,000. As the venue for both Disney On Ice and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the arena has been the place where many area children saw their first circus or their favorite animated movie come to life. Many have graduated from high school and college there. Adults also have fond memories of their concerts. We recently asked a Fairfax, Virginia, group on Facebook to tell us about their favorite Patriot Center concert, and received 82 responses. The list of performers is long and diverse, running the gamut from Dolly Parton to Megadeth. 10 | FASTER FARTHER: THE CAMPAIGN FOR GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY WARNING: READING THIS LIST MIGHT MAKE YOU WANT TO RAISE YOUR LIGHTER IN MEMORY.
