The Fairfax County Park Authority has completed a court reconfiguration project at Wakefield Park in Annandale that includes the addition of six new dedicated pickleball courts.

One tennis court was converted into four dedicated pickleball courts, while two dual-use courts were returned to tennis-only play.

With these changes, Wakefield Park now has 10 tennis courts and eight pickleball courts, plus a practice area.

In addition, the three basketball courts located behind the skate park were resurfaced and recoated to improve playability and safety.

“These improvements reflect FCPA’s ongoing commitment to meeting the growing community demand for pickleball and enhancing access to high-quality recreational facilities throughout Fairfax County,” the Park Authority states.

There are currently 95 pickleball courts in Fairfax County parks, including dedicated and dual-use courts shared with other sports, such as tennis. There are 191 dedicated and dual-use tennis courts.

Community members can use the Park Amenity Locator to find tennis and pickleball courts near their homes.
