Exciting changes are coming to Reston North Park Playground, located at 11760 Stevenage Road in Reston. Beginning in October 2025, the playground will undergo a full renovation to replace aging equipment and improve accessibility for all visitors. Construction is expected to last about eight weeks, during which the playground will be closed. The parking lot will also be used for construction vehicles and materials, so visitors should plan ahead when accessing the site.

Originally installed in the 1980s and 1990s, the playground’s retaining walls, steps and equipment are at the end of their lifecycle and no longer meet current accessibility and safety standards. The upcoming renovation will create a safer, more modern and inclusive play space designed for children, families and caregivers of all abilities.

Highlights of the new playground include:

• A single-level design that eliminates steps between play areas.
• Poured-in-place surfacing for improved safety and accessibility.
• Fully accessible routes from the parking lot to both the playground and the lower diamond field.
• Modern, universal play equipment with sensory-rich experiences and activities for multiple age groups.
• Updated site features, including stormwater management and new steps to the lower diamond field.

These improvements will bring long-term benefits to the community by providing a safe, inclusive and engaging playground for families to enjoy for years to come.

While the playground is closed, residents are encouraged to use the Park Authority’s Park Amenity Locator to find alternative playgrounds to utilize.
