The National Park Service awarded a $1.5 million Project Grant to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). The grant will fund replacement of an existing boardwalk at the Neabsco Creek Wetlands Preserve in Woodbridge, Virginia due to flooding and erosion damage. It will also extend the boardwalk by one mile to connect to Leesylvania State Park to provide additional recreational trail opportunities for the over 300,000 annual visitors who currently use the existing boardwalk. The extension aims to alleviate vehicle capacity issues at the parks through improved walking and biking connections to other county parks and the Potomac National Scenic Heritage Trail. The project supports the state's goal of adding upgraded and accessible trails and water access for citizens in the state and region. Work will be completed by September 30, 2025.
