  • When you think about a new Lubber Run Community Center, what do you envision yourself doing there?

    I think a new Lubber Run Community Center is long over due and I am THRILLED. I envision our family continuing to use the playground and depending on the classes, athletics, camps, activities offered there would use those too. It could be a cornerstone to the community.

  • Do you or members of your household currently participate in activities at the Lubber Run Community Center?
    • Yes
  • If yes, approximately how often do you or members of your household visit the Lubber Run Community Center?
    • Daily
  • What types of spaces and uses should the new Lubber Run Community Center have?

    Outside it should have all playgrounds for various age groups, spray ground, sand pit, open green space for running, picnic area(s)/shelter, bathroom, educational nature trail and volley ball court. Inside it should have a large gathering/meeting space, sufficient kitchen, multiple rooms for activities/classes, computer lab, pre-school room, etc.

  • When you think about the immediate area surrounding a new Lubber Run Community Center, what type of spaces and uses should be accommodated on the site?

    This should ONLY be a community center with playgrounds for various age groups, spray ground, sand pit, open green space for running, picnic area(s)/shelter, bathroom, educational nature trail and volley ball court. Below ground parking to provide more green space is ideal. Do not try to mix-use it with housing.

  • In what ways can a new Lubber Run Community Center have an impact on the community?

    A new Community Center would provide more opportunities for classes through the County (they fill up in minutes!). Green space for animals and people is good for all. It would provide a WALKABLE option to folks in the Arlington Forest, Ballston, Buckingham, and other neighborhoods. It is on a major bus route also helpful to a car-free Arlington.

  • Do you have a favorite community center in Arlington? If so, which center and why is it your favorite?

    We do not have a favorite, but have been to Lubber Run, Fairlington, Barcroft, and both W&L and Wakefield pools. Not to mention libraries - Central, Shirlington, and Carlin Hall.
