About this Park

This comprehensive 12-acre park is packed with everything you could want in a park. Enjoy a meal under the picnic shelter, let the kids romp in the playground, play baseball or softball on the two baseball/softball fields (permit takes priority), practice your backhand on the two lighted tennis courts, shoot some free-throws on the lighted basketball court or run around in the open drop-in field. It is adjacent to Shirlington Park and Shirlington Dog Park. Find out if your dog should play in the stream.

The location honors Jennie Serepta Dean (1848–1913), founder of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth.
