Darrell Winslow served as a member of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority for 28 years, 18 of them as the Executive Director. With service starting in 1966, for the next 30 years he oversaw creation of the regional parks at Bull Run, Occoquan, Algonkian, Hemlock Overlook, Upton Hill, Balls Bluff Battlefield, and even the development of our beloved rowing facilities at Sandy Run.
