Bull Run Regional Park
Bull Run Regional Park is a 1,568-acre (635 ha) multi-use facility located in Centreville, Virginia, owned and operated by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.
The park is situated near Interstate 66, in the Bull Run / Occoquan Stream valley. It features numerous tree-lined meadows along the Bull Run stream, with day-use amenities such as picnic tables and shelters. There are also overnight camping spots, showers, laundry facilities, and a store selling basic supplies. Additional features include a skeet and trap shooting range, outdoor swimming pool, playground, and several nature and equestrian trails. Except for the shooting range, the park is closed in winter. There is an admission charge for the park.
The park opened in 1960 and offered camping and picnicking. The property was purchased from economist Gardiner Means and his wife, Caroline Ware, who longed to see the land preserved from development and ultimately left to public use. Development of the park continued through the 1960s with addition of a skeet and trap shooting center, a large swimming pool and a miniature golf course.
In the late 1970s, Bull Run became known for producing and hosting large concerts. Eventually, a large capacity special events center was built in the mid-1980s to provide an amphitheater with a capacity of over 10,000 people. A winter drive-through holiday light show became a part of the park's offerings in 1995, and is viewed by thousands annually; extending for more than 2 miles, it is reported to be one of the nation's largest such displays. Bull Run is also home to Atlantis Waterpark.
