A playground behind Reston’s Home Depot is slated for replacement.
The Fairfax County Park Authority is currently in the midst of developing a site plan for the project at Reston North Park, which is located along Stevenage Road near Reston Parkway.
“The playground at Reston North Park is among those next in line for replacement,” Ben Boxer, a spokesperson for the park authority, said.
The new facility will include accessible components and features like play platforms, slides, swings, climbing and sensory features for children from ages 2 to 12, according to the county.
It will also include site upgrades, including a poured-in-place playground surface and improvements to sidewalks surrounding the park.
A timeline for the project has not yet been set, but it’s expected to cost $1.6 million.
“The construction schedule is yet to be determined and is pending the completion of the site and funding plans, material availability and other factors,” Boxer said.
