Park Details

In July 2017, the City of Alexandria dedicated the Four Mile Run Park Edison Street entrance to Dr. Betty Louise Josephson King in recognition of her energetic involvement and efforts to improve the quality of life in the surrounding community. Betty King was a scientist, teacher, community activist, photographer, mother, grandmother, neighbor, and friend who lived in the Hume Springs neighborhood in north Alexandria from the early 1980s until she passed away in her home on Mark Drive on June 2, 2016. Betty helped to reinforce a human connection to the park and forge the neighborhood’s bond to Four Mile Run. Betty ran for Alexandria City Council in 1991 as an Independent. For many years she was a Board Officer of the Hume Springs Civic Association and worked tirelessly as an active participant of the Arlandria Small Area Planning Advisory Group and the Four Mile Run Restoration Joint Task Force between Alexandria and Arlington. She was instrumental in bringing the vision of this urban waterway to reality.
