Could central Annandale become a place where people want to gather for fun activities and social engagement?
That’s the premise behind the Pop-Up Park recently created by the Fairfax County Office of Community Revitalization on the ACCA Child Development Center parking lot at 7200 Columbia Pike.
During the park’s Arts Day on Saturday, several local families played games, worked on puzzles, painted rocks, decorated bike helmets, and worked on communal paintings and chalk drawings on a wall and parking lot – while music teacher Andy Yoon entertained them on the park’s outdoor piano.
The activities were organized by Community Arts for Everyone(CAFÉ) and the county parks and transportation departments. CAFÉ is a nonprofit founded in February by Hannah Joo with the goal of promoting art as a means of bringing people together and supporting happier communities.
