Fort Ward Park Management Plan July 2008

July 1, 2008 Meeting between Marlboro Estates Landowners & Alexandria Parks & Recreation Department

Attendees: Roger Blakeley, Steve Tompkins, John Walsh, and Walter Powell from the City of Alexandria, VA; Jeff Lane, Mary Beth Buchholz, Dennis Carroll, Glenn Eugster, Thad Dilley, Nancy Jennings, and Tom Fulton from Marlboro Estates.


Glenn asked Roger about the status of the park’s management/
master plan [ Note: It does not appear that the park has a plan for management or future park improvements]. Roger said that there will be a management plan and an opportunity for public input. Roger continued and said that by mid-month a Fort Ward Cost Center estimate will be developed(see the City Parks & Recreation website) which will then be followed by a park master plan. Roger said the master plan will be done soon and there will be a public meeting. Roger said that the schedule for the park master plan will depend on the City’s overall workload which is considerable. It may be months or years before the City gets to this task.
