Softball fields at Wakefield Park improved

The softball fields at Wakefield Park have been upgraded, the Fairfax County Park Authority announced on June 11.

The improvements include renovated playing surfaces and amenities, upgraded LED lighting, new dugouts, new fencing, new batting cages, and new picnic tables and bleachers.

Field 8 has been converted into a state-of-the-art synthetic turf surface. Wakefield Park now offers the only synthetic turf field in the region dedicated to youth softball.

The Park Authority invites the community to a ribbon-cutting celebration for the softball upgrades on June 30 at 6 p.m. on Field 8. Wakefield Park is located at 8100 Braddock Road in Annandale.

Following the ribbon-cutting, guests are invited to stay for a friendly girls’ softball game.
