The 1.6 acre site is a Civil War fort constructed in 1862 as part of the defense system for Washington, D.C. It has been renovated to reflect the dual uses of the park as a neighborhood park and a historic resource park. The new amenities include new benches, trails, landscaping, a plaza with interpretative signage and a reproduction cannon added as a result of contributions and efforts by The Olmi Family, Belle Haven Citizens Association, the Fairfax County Park Foundation and the Fairfax County Park Authority. The ribbon cutting ceremony was held October 15, 2011. More . . .
