The park, located at 9750 Meadowlark Gardens Court in Vienna, asks visitors to consider social distancing standards to protect the health and safety of employees and guests. Masks or face coverings must be worn.
In addition to social distancing, the park is increasing sanitation practices to keep guests and employees safe. The park is cleaning counters, credit card keypads, door handles, restrooms, interactive displays and other high-touch surfaces.

Buildings and restrooms will be open, but access may be restricted based on required capacity limits. Portable toilets are also available in the parking lot and the halfway point of the walk.
