Reston Community Center will be gathering input on proposed indoor swim and rec center at Baron Cameron Park from citizens through the spring.
Reston Community Center has organized a Frequently Asked Questions brief to advise residents on the new community center proposed for Baron Cameron Park. RCC announced two weeks ago that it is looking into building a new facility on Fairfax County Park Authority land at Baron Cameron and Reston Parkway. The RCC Board - along with the Park Authority - is gathering public input for the project. RCC officials say they will spend five months gathering data and feedback before deciding whether to build a new rec center in partnership with the Park Authority, and if so, what it will feature.

Reston Community Center wants to build new recreation and community center at Baron Cameron Park. What would you like to see there?
Reston Community Center, in conjunction with the Fairfax County Park Authority, announced on Monday it is looking to build a new recreation facility at Baron Cameron Park in Reston. The facility would be built with money from Fairfax County Small Tax District 5, which operates the current Reston Community Centers. Most residents of Reston pay this additional tax already (47 cents per $1,000 of assessed home value). RCC has begun taking feedback from residents on what they want to see in the multimillion dollar rec center. While a 50-meter pool came up often at Monday's first public hearing, many ideas were offered up by community members and organizations. Among them, basketball courts, a climbing wall, and indoor and outdoor tracks. Those…

Reston Community Center, Fairfax County Park Authority taking public feedback for potential facility at Baron Cameron Park.
Reston Community Center is exploring the idea of building a new indoor recreation and community center at Baron Cameron Park. In spring of 2012, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors transferred 68 acres at that location to the Fairfax County Park Authority, Bill Bouie, RCC Board of Governors member and chairman of RCC's program committee. The Park Authority will work in partnership with RCC to move the project forward, said Bouie, who is also chairman of the Fairfax County Park Authority Board. "RCC would operate it, and for the parks department, it would be another amenity," Bouie said at a public meeting on the issue at RCC Hunters Woods on Monday. The financing for the facility would come from Small Tax District 5, which includes …

Lake Fairfax is the perfect location and FCPA can build it, pay for it and run it. RCC should stick to what they are good at and what is not typically offered through FCPA. That is classes and camps and theater. Fitness and swimming should be provided through FCPA or the YMCA. The YMCA could expand their building onto the vacant lot behind them. I know this was turned down for a skatepark, but … more ›
