Stratton Woods Racquetball/Handball Courts Open in Reston

The enthusiasm was contagious as athletes and officials gathered this past weekend at Stratton Woods Park in Reston to officially open the newly completed Racquetball/Handball Court Complex. The celebration marked completion of the $644,000 project which included the installation of a lighted racquetball and handball court complex, relocation of the volleyball court, demolition of one basketball court, as well as site improvements and landscaping. Funding for this project was primarily supplied by fees from the site’s monopole and park bonds.
