Creation of Royal Lake & Development of Kings Park West
Kings Park West was developed between 1968 and 1978 surrounding the newly engineered 49-acre Royal Lake. Constructed by the USDA Soil Conservation Service and Fairfax County Park Authority as a flood control reservoir along Pohick Creek, the lake became the centerpiece for this forested community. Richmarr Construction and other builders crafted spacious split-foyers, multi-level homes, and Dutch colonials nestled on generous half-acre lots with tree-canopied streets.
