Construction Work Scheduled at Windmill Hill Park Basketball Court (Update)

As part of the FY 2012 Capital Improvement Program, the Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities will resurface and color coat the basketball court at Windmill Hill Park, 501 S. Union St.

The work is scheduled for May 10-June 8. The courts will be repaved during the first week. Following repaving, the court surface will be allowed to cure approximately two weeks. During the third and fourth week, the courts will be colored and lined. Minor site work will adjust the goals to the industry standard height and ensure smooth transitions to existing grade. The court will be closed to the public during the renovation.

During construction, some parking along Gibbon Street will be reserved for construction equipment. Residents will see equipment in use and crews at work during the daytime.

For your safety, please use extra caution in moving around the site. For additional information or questions about the work, call Beth Carton, at 703.746.5492 (Virginia Relay 711) or e-mail bethany.carton@alexandriava.gov.
