Construction for the Bluemont Park Tennis Court Renovations will begin the week of February 15, 2026, weather permitting. As construction begins, you will see fencing and other construction prep in the area. Signs will be placed at the site in high traffic areas to alert the community of closures and detours.

Key Project Details and Impacts: 

During construction the tennis courts, parking lot, and a small section of the Four Mile Run Trail will be fenced off and closed to the public. Four Mile Run Trail users can use the adjacent W&OD Trail to avoid the small, closed trail segment before returning to Four Mile Run Trail. See the map below for detour information.

Other key features at Bluemont Park, including the baseball diamond, soccer field, and playground, will remain open to the public. When using these facilities we recommend parking on N Manchester St, at the southern parking lot near the park's playground, or appropriate street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Please do not park at Ashlawn Elementary School during school hours.

You can find information on other tennis court locations and availability on the County's tennis court site.

 Project Timeline & Next Steps:

• February 2026: Construction to begin.
• Early Fall 2027: Construction anticipated to be complete.

The project timeline is weather dependent. Please visit the Bluemont Park Tennis Court Renovations webpage to learn more about the project, review its plans and renderings, and sign up for email updates.

Staff will update that webpage as construction progresses with important updates as needed.
