Hurricanes

The Brookside Hurricanes are a local swim team that uses the Brookside Riley Road Swimming Pool as their home.  The swim team is open to any resident of Fauquier County and they have a policy that everyone swims in every meet including the Finals!

This is a great way for kids to participate in a team sport right in their own neighborhood.  Please be sure to check the Hurricane’s website for information regarding next season’s sign ups.  Spring will be here before you know it!

For more information please visit Team Brookside’s Webpage, call 540.878.7929, or email info@teambrookside.com.

In honor thereof, on May 1, 2009 Fauquier County will be commemorating its 250th birthday!  As part of the countywide celebration Parks and Recreation will showcase historical sites and significant events that tok place during the last two and one half centuries.  Those activities will focus on the history of site operated by Parks and Recreation but will also address other significant aspects of County history.  Mark your calendars now and bring the family to enjoy events offered for all ages.
