Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 15.2-1800.4 as follows:

§ 15.2-1800.4. Restrictive covenants; prohibited; recreational property; Loudoun County.

No restrictive covenant shall prohibit the general public from using property acquired by Loudoun County to operate a park or recreational facility.

A restrictive covenant that limits the use of property acquired by Loudoun County from a nonprofit recreational association to operate a park or recreational facility is void and against public policy to the extent it would prohibit the recreational use of the property by the general public.
