A permit is required for groups of 20 or more (including spectators) or bookings of 3+ hours. Apply before the seasonal deadline — on-time permits issue about 3 weeks before the season, later ones about 2 weeks. For tournaments, camps, or clinics, contact the FCPA Tournaments Manager at 703-324-5308 / FCPAFields@fairfaxcounty.gov instead. Camps, clinics, and coaches must provide a Certificate of General Liability insurance naming the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and Park Authority as additional insured.

NCS schedules community use on weekdays after 5 PM and on weekends and holidays; league play is prioritized at other times.

About this field

Patriot Park North is a Fairfax County Park Authority synthetic-turf diamond complex at 5425 Willow Springs School Road. It has six lighted synthetic-turf fields (four adjustable 90-foot and two adjustable 60-foot) used for baseball and softball games and practice, with batting cages, warm-up areas, concession stands, a playground, restrooms, and parking. Outside teams cannot reserve on-site — scheduling runs through Fairfax County's permit process: NCS Athletic Services for league, team, and one-time community use, and the Park Authority's Tournaments Manager for tournaments, camps, and clinics.
