Stafford, VA – Starting Monday, November 3, Stafford County Parks, Recreation and Tourism facilities will shift to their winter operating schedule, adjusting daily hours to run from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
According to the Stafford County Government, the updated schedule aims to reflect seasonal daylight changes and ensure visitor safety as days grow shorter. The change applies to all county parks, trails, and recreation areas managed by the department.
Officials are reminding residents to move vehicles out of park lots by 5:30 p.m., as gates will close promptly at that time. Those who remain parked after hours risk being locked in until the following morning.
The county encourages residents to continue enjoying outdoor recreation throughout the fall and winter months while staying aware of the adjusted hours.
“Happy recreating,” the announcement added, noting that staff will continue maintaining facilities and trails during regular winter operations.
Residents can find updated information and facility-specific details on the Stafford Parks, Recreation and Tourism website or social media pages.
