Exciting field developments at Booster Park today!

💡 We're making use of an existing pole to help shed additional light on practice spaces in the Field 4 outfield and our largest soccer field (when reopened, see below). This will help begin to address the desire for additional practice availability in the evenings.

🚧 Our soccer field refresh has begun! This project will help address decades of compaction and use. We're looking forward to topdressing and reseeding these fields with the goal of reopening with fresh greenery in the spring. Please help us make this project successful by staying off of closed fields for the time being.

🚨📢 Enter at www.orangecountyva.gov/costumes!

Get your coworkers together, pick a theme, and show off your creativity in the 2026 OCPR Office Costume Contest! Businesses, organizations, and departments located in Orange County are invited to put together a group costume for a chance to earn bragging rights, a trophy, and donuts for the office.

Groups must include at least two participants, and all costumes should follow a common theme. Themes can be as specific or as creative as you want, and props and scenery are welcome as long as they fit your theme and are located at your workplace. Costumes should remain appropriate and generally PG-13.

OCPR plans to photograph participating groups on Friday, October 30, 2026. Entries will be judged using a combination of official judges, Facebook voting, and group participation, with judges considering costume quality, creativity, and how well the group brings its theme together. New this year, you can submit your own photograph to be entered into the contest (see rules document for details).

Registration is FREE, but entries must be submitted by Wednesday, October 28, 2026. First, second, and third place winners will receive a trophy along with three, two, or one dozen donuts, respectively.

Gather your crew, get creative, and see if your office has what it takes to claim the 2026 OCPR Office Costume Contest title! Enter at www.orangecountyva.gov/costumes

Beginning Monday, we'll be starting a field restoration project on Booster Park's larger soccer fields. We're very excited to get this started. This project will help address decades' worth of compaction and use, and we know it's something many of our residents have been asking for! We understand park users may have questions about the project, so we wanted to help outline what to expect.

➡️ Select soccer field closures will begin on Monday, October 5.
➡️ Orange Soccer Association representatives are aware of the maintenance, and have scheduled accordingly.
➡️ The application of top dressing will cause fields to turn brown first.
➡️ Fields are expected to reopen in time for spring sports!

More information is available in the September issue of the Orange County Insight: https://ow.ly/8UkT50ZTSFu

You can help make this field improvement project successful. Once it starts, please stay off of closed fields so the seeds and soil can get to work. We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please call (540) 672-5435.
