Virginia Oaks has a neighborhood forest
Each of the neighborhood's three subdivisions features a pool and pool house maintained by separate community associations. Virginia Oaks residents live beside a 167-acre green space that was once the Virginia Oaks Golf Course. In 2018, the course's decline in popularity led the Virginia Oaks HOA and Prince William County to replace it with a manmade forest, intercut by walking trails and picnic pavilions where locals can ride pikes or walk their dogs. The forest canopy features dogwood, white oak and maple trees, while wildflower beds line the edges of trails. Lake Manassas borders Broad Run Oaks to the west and has been closed for boating and swimming since 2004, as it is one of the county's largest water suppliers. Though many locals have tried to reopen the lake for recreation, only minor fishing is currently allowed. Conway Robinson State Forest is also nearby for hiking or mountain biking on miles of trails. Jiffy Lube Live is an outdoor amphitheater east of Broad Run Oaks and one of Gainesville's biggest attractions. It hosts mainly musical artists and standup comedians and can seat over 10,000 people in its large pavilion, with another 15,000 able to fill the grass lawn beyond it.
