The Fairfax County Park Authority is asking for public input on a plan to build three new pickleball courts at Greenbriar Park, located at 4600 Stringfellow Road near Fair Lakes. The feedback period runs through June 13. The goal is to meet rising demand for pickleball spaces and ease issues at other parks.
Pickleball has become more popular in Fairfax County, and existing courts are getting crowded. Shared courts have caused some concerns in nearby neighborhoods. The Fairfax County Park Authority wants to solve these problems by building new courts in a better location. According to a statement from the park authority.
“The proposed plan includes removing the dual-use pickleball lines at Chalet Woods Park and establishing new, dedicated pickleball courts at Greenbriar Park. Greenbriar Park offers ample parking, restroom facilities, and is situated farther from residential areas, making it a suitable location for dedicated pickleball courts.” – (park authority)
Making Room for More Players
Greenbriar Park is seen as a good choice for the new courts. It has restrooms, parking, and is not too close to homes. This makes it easier for players and helps avoid noise problems.
Other projects across Fairfax County have also added pickleball courts. These include a new indoor spot in Chantilly and another court proposed in Annandale.
What Happens Next
People who want to share their thoughts on the Greenbriar Park plan can fill out a feedback form by June 13. The Fairfax County Park Authority will review the comments before making a final decision.
If the plan moves forward, the new courts would help meet the area’s growing need for places to play. It could also give relief to other busy parks like Chalet Woods Park.
