Davis Ford Park
The property at 5901 Davis Ford Road near the intersection with Davis Ford Road and River Forest Drive is currently a sewage treatment facility serving the residents of the Occoquan Forest community. The treatment plant is being closed, so the Service Authority (SA) no longer needs the property. The Prince William Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) has the first right of refusal on the property when it becomes surplus. There is a "credit" system that exists between the SA and the BOCS, and due to outstanding credits in the county's favor, this could enable the county government to acquire the property with no money changing hands. This is an excellent opportunity for mid-county residents to enjoy badly needed park space in our area. The parcel is a mostly-wooded 57 acre jewel with some steep slopes and mostly mature trees near the Occoquan Reservoir that would lend itself nicely to passive recreation.
