As the Fairfax County Park Authority continued its Baron Cameron Park
Master Plan process with a public hearing on Thursday, the main
takeaway was that public opinion has not changed very much from a year
ago.
In early 2013, Reston Community Center began examining building an indoor recreation center and pool in the park and the FCPA started to plan for the 68-acre parcel’s future in general.
The park is home to 10 athletic
fields, a playground, 32 community garden plots and Reston’s only
off-leash dog area. Proposed changes include upgrading the athletic
fields to full-size with synthetic turf and lights; increasing parking;
adding a second park entrance; building a restroom and picnic pavilion;
adding community garden plots and a fitness trail.
An alternative plan includes replacing athletic
fields with the indoor recreation center and additional parking and
relocating the existing dog park to a central location within the park. . . .
