Reston Community Center’s Board of Governors is holding its annual public hearing on programs and budget next week.
The meeting is set for Monday, June 17 at 6:30 p.m. at RCC Hunters Woods (2310 Colts Neck Road).
During the meeting, the public will get a glimpse of RCC’s plans for the future and highlights and challenges over the past year.
Attendees will also receive the center’s annual report and strategic plan for 2016-2021.
A nine-month renovation of the Terry L. Smith Aquatics Center is underway. The 40-year-old center will get two pools — a 25-year lap pool with zero-depth entry and a warm-water therapeutic pool — along with a new roof.
The renovated facility is set to reopen in October.
RSVPs are requested by emailing [email protected] by Friday, June 15. Attendees should include their full name and address.
RCC is governed by a nine-member board appointed by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Selections are based on the preferences of residents and businesses in Small District 5, which the center serves.

The Reston Community Center is now in its fourth month of a nine-month renovation of the Terry L. Smith Aquatics Center.
Demolition of the existing pool and surrounding deck, which started in late January, finished in March, according to an update from RCC. The demolition resulted in more than eight tons of steel from the ductwork and ceiling that will get recycled. Several tons of concrete, rebar, stainless steel drains and other materials were salvaged.
“In addition, the excavation revealed that the years-long water infiltration problems RCC experienced probably resulted from a combination of poor drainage and water leaking from the pool shell,” the April 1 update said, adding that the project will include corrective measures for the drainage issues and ensure the new pools have water impermeable shells.
The 40-year-old aquatics center is getting a makeover that will add two pools — a 25-yard lap pool with zero-depth entry and a warm-water therapeutic pool — along with a new roof. The facility is slated to reopen in October.
