Reston Association: No Opinion on RCC Pool

Reston Association's Board of Directors says it is not yet taking a position on the Reston Community Center's proposal for a new recreational facility at Baron Cameron Park.

"Before finalizing a position on the recreation facility, the RA board and staff will continue to attend meetings and gather more information about the proposal," RA president Ken Knueven said in a statement. "We welcome and strongly encourage our members to share their perspectives through the communication channels provided by RCC on the Park Authority’s Master Planning Process of Baron Cameron Park."

RA and RCC worked together on a proposal to build a recreation center at RA's Brown's Chapel Park in 2009. Public opinion was mostly against the 171,000-square-foot facility, and RA ultimately decided not to proceed.

RCC announced in February that it is doing a feasibility study into an indoor pool facility at Baron Cameron, which is owned by the Fairfax County Park Authority. There have been several public meetings on the subject, where resident feedback has been mixed.

The facility would cost about $35 million, mostly paid for by Small Tax District 5 residents. However, consultants said on Monday they do not have exact financial estimates yet.
