Inscription. For many years, Harlan and Ruth Rockwell owned this land and made it available to the community as a park. In 2010 Ruth sold this property to the Northern Virginia Conservancy Trust for a fraction of its value. In 2011, the Trust donated these parcels to Arlington County with the stipulation that it be forever public parkland. This plaque recognizes the Rockwell family for conserving this important community open space.
