Kings West Swim Club -

Demolition and Restoration

A FCPA Partnership Project

Braddock District

Project No. SD-000031-089

Description and Overview:

This is a partnership project between Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) and Fairfax County Department of Public

Works and Environmental Services (DPWES). The property is located at 4803 Tapestry Drive in Fairfax County.

The project’s main goal is to transform the defunct Kings West Swim Club land into an environmental resource that will provide

water quality enhancement and additional Park Authority-maintained area for the surrounding community.

Project Scope of Work:

• Existing structures were demolished to reduce the impervious surfaces within the site.

• A bio-retention media (specially engineered filter soil was backfilled in the former pool locations) was incorporated to

help improve stormwater runoff quality.

• Site was landscaped with native plants – trees, shrubs, and seed mixes to help re-establish naturalized environments

and habitats along Rabbit Branch.

• To provide visitor access, the existing asphalt trail was extended through the site to connect with the existing Tapestry

Drive sidewalk.
