Dean Park Improvements

At more than 70 acres, Dean Park is the largest park in the City of Manassas and provides numerous amenities, including the Manassas Boys & Girls Club, ball fields, batting cages, the City’s skate park, tennis courts, and the Winter’s Branch walking trail. Adjacent to the park is Jennie Dean Elementary School and the Manassas Industrial School/Jennie Dean Memorial. Find out more about the Memorial Update.

Recognizing the potential benefits of shared amenities between Dean Park and the adjacent elementary school, the City initiated a preliminary master planning process in 2016  to guide the future of the site. The initial planning, completed in 2017, included stakeholder and community input and resulted in different options depending on the needs identified at the time of construction. 

In 2020 the City engaged a civil engineering company to undertake preliminary work to help the City and the community to a final plan for new fields and amenities.  Community meetings are expected to begin in Winter, 2021.
