About the Bles Park Improvements Project
Area residents will notice more activity in the spring when the Bles Park improvements project is currently scheduled to begin, following the selection of a contractor through the county’s procurement process. Improvements planned for the park include adding adequate and safe parking for the use of the existing sports fields, along with pavilions, a canoe/kayak launch and a multi-generation playground.
Bles Park is a 132-acre park located north of Route 7 and is adjacent to the Potomac River. It includes a portion of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. The Eastern Loudoun Adult Day Center is also located on the property, which also currently includes four sports fields, paved and natural trails, wetlands/natural areas, a playground and limited parking.
