Fairfax County Parks

I've confirmed a couple of talkgroups on the Fairfax County Services trunked system that are used by specific parks. Talkgroup 32048 is Lake Accotink Park. Talkgroup 32112 is Lake Fairfax Park. Talkgroup 32080 is unknown, but may be Burke Lake Park. They've mentioned "getting off island," "marina lot," "breezeway," and "boat count."
