Manassas National Battlefield Park<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Mantissas National Battlefield Park’s 4,400 acres acres are “characterized by gently rolling hills with a patchwork of open fields and forests.”\u00a0 Audubon Society\u00a0 has named it a Northern Virginia Birding Hotspot. “The park has developed a series of loop trails that traverse key areas of the First and Second Manassas Battlefields. ”\u00a0 \u00a0 Thank you to Bryan Gorsira with the Park Service who wrote to tell me of new accessible trails at Manassas. From Bryan: “The Brownsville picnic area is located in the south western portion of the park and has a large parking lot, accessible restroom facilities, and a covered pavilion with accessible picnic tables, and a \u00bc mile wheelchair accessible natural resource education trail. ”
