The Fairfax County Park Authority invites community members to a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the reopening of the newly renovated Reston North Park Playground on Wednesday, June 3 at 5 p.m. The playground is located at 11760 Stevenage Road in Reston.

As part of the celebration, the Wonder Wagon, the Park Authority’s mobile nature center, will be on site offering guided, nature-based hands-on activities for families. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, explore the new playground and participate in the activities.

Beginning in October 2025, Reston North Park Playground underwent a full renovation to replace aging equipment and improve accessibility for all visitors. Originally installed in the 1980s and 1990s, the playground’s retaining walls, steps and equipment had reached the end of their lifecycle and no longer met current accessibility and safety standards. The renovation has transformed the site into a safer, more modern and inclusive play space designed for children, families and caregivers.

Key features of the renovated 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.
