Diamond Springs Elementary School was built on a section of the former Williams Farm property which the City of Virginia Beach acquired. A public park and a city street (Learning Circle) were built in conjunction with the new Newtown Elementary. The park and the street represent joint ventures with the City of Virginia Beach’s Departments of Parks and Recreation and Public Works. The cost of the street project is approximately $3 million and the park will cost approximately $2 million.
Newtown Elementary, Diamond Springs Elementary and Bettie F. Williams Elementary form the Bayside Tri-Campus.
