The Fairfax County Park Authority is pleased to announce renovations to McLean Central Park Basketball Court beginning this week. Work crews with contractor ATC will be mobilizing on-site to prepare for work that will include:

• Replacement of two basketball goal systems
• A stone dust and asphalt overlay of the existing basketball court
• Color coating and line painting
• Installation of a 10-foot vinyl coated fence on the northern end of the court
• Placement of a memorial bench

Weather permitting, the project is expected to take six weeks to complete. The Park will remain open to the public; however, the work may impact access to some areas of the park, including the parking lot behind the Dolley Madison Library. Visitors are reminded to please follow all signs and placards around the site to safely navigate around construction activities during the project.

With contributions received from the Friends and Neighbors of Thomas A. Mulquin and the application of grant funding awarded through the Park Authority’s Mastenbrook Grant Program, this project reflects a collaborative effort to enhance recreational spaces and promote community engagement. The total project budget is $65,176.50, with $45,176.50 coming from community contributions.
