Town Parks and Facilities
The Town of Occoquan operates a free kayak launch ramp and two municipal parks within the Town’s limits: Mamie Davis Park and River Mill Park. Both park locations host a variety of community events and family functions throughout the year. While the kayak launch is free to all users, event permits for the parks are available for a fee through the Town.
Mamie Davis Park
205 Mill Street
Occoquan’s Mamie Davis Park was named in honor of the late, long-time resident and town official, Ms. Mamie Davis. Located at the intersection of Washington Street and Mill Street, this small, grassed, and shaded public area features a gazebo, and connects to the town’s public boardwalk and pier. It is often used as a setting for weddings, receptions, and other events. More Information.
River Mill Park
458 Mill Street
River Mill Park opened on July 30, 2016. It is a 1.1 acre riverfront park located at the west-end of Mill Street on the site of the former Fairfax Water water treatment facility. It boasts a LOVEworks sign, terraced and landscaped stairs, a looped walking trail, public restroom facilities, an event pavilion and stunning views of the Occoquan River. Perfect for micro-weddings and elopements! More Information.
Town Hall
314 Mill Street
Town Hall is available for use by residents and businesses interested in reserving a small meeting space, (capacity 25 or fewer), but is not suitable for events.
Built in 1929, Town Hall is a former Methodist Church that retains the historic feel of the former church. Currently, the building houses the Town’s administrative and public safety offices. More Information
