About the Hal & Berni Hanson Regional Park

This project includes design and construction of a new 257 acre regional park located along Evergreen Mills Road between the Brambleton and Willowsford communities.

Park features:
  • 17 lighted athletic fields, including two artificial turf fields and one cricket field;
  • five ponds;
  • the historic Hanson House;
  • an event lodge and nature center;
  • a skate plaza and disc golf course;
  • a splash pad and playground with inclusive features; and
  • over 75 acres of passive recreational space. 

The original owner of the land was Haldore ‘Hal’ Hanson, a writer, U.S. State Department official and nonprofit leader, who died in 1992. In keeping with the wishes of Hanson and his wife Berni, the Hanson Family Partnership agreed to sell the land to Loudoun County for use as a park. The county acquired the property in 2009 through negotiations with the Hanson family, Dominion Power and the National Park Service as a part of a United States Department of Interior program.
