Wakefield Tennis and Pickleball Redevelopment Project
Wakefield Tennis and Pickleball Redevelopment Project
The Fairfax County Park Authority is dedicated to expanding and improving diverse recreational opportunities for all residents.
Wakefield Park is home to nine tennis courts, two dual-use courts (two tennis courts and four pickleball courts) and two dedicated pickleball courts. Over time, the use of the dual-use courts has trended strongly towards pickleball and created fewer tennis opportunities.
REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
To more fully-benefit both the pickleball and tennis communities at Wakefield Park, the Fairfax County Park Authority is proposing to replace tennis court 11, presently in need of repair, with four dedicated pickleball courts and returning courts 9 and 10 to tennis only. The work would result in having six dedicated pickleball courts and 10 dedicated tennis courts at the location. It is anticipated that this work could be completed by Fall 2024.
A second phase of the proposal is for the addition of two more dedicated pickleball courts in place of one of the existing tennis practice wall areas. The tennis practice wall area closest to courts 9 and 10 would remain. This phase of the project would require additional site work including the building of a retaining wall and relocation of the picnic tables. It is estimated that it could potentially be completed by spring 2025.
