The City of Alexandria now maintains Founders Park as a passive park. The Alexandria Waterfront Small Area Plan recognizes the Founders Park’s special role on the waterfront and preserves the current use and character of the park.
Private events are not permitted:
- The Park cannot be reserved in part, or in whole
- While informal events may be held in the park they cannot interfere with others enjoyment of the park
- City Code 6-1-8, (7) Indicates the following are prohibited “….any fire, or barbecue, grill or otherwise cook any food."
For dog owners/walkers:
- Please walk dogs on a leash or take advantage of the dedicated unfenced off-leash dog exercise area in the NW corner of the Park with defined boundaries marked by bollards and is a designated location for dogs and their owners to exercise and recreate without disrupting other uses of the parks
- The City also has published a useful reference document (click here)
