First New Fields in Tysons Open at Jones Branch Park

The official opening of Jones Branch Fields and Arbor Row Stream Valley was held this past Saturday and brought out a crowd of enthusiastic players, youngsters, community planners and local officials. The project marks the completion of the first of many new recreational amenities that will help redefine Tysons. By 2050, Tysons will be transformed into a walkable, sustainable urban center that will be home to 100,000 residents.

Cityline Partner’s Arbor Row development included the dedication of an 8-acre vacant parcel of land that was improved with two lighted, synthetic turf athletic fields and a restored stream valley at a cost of $5 million.
