The City of Alexandria held a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 31 to celebrate the newly revitalized Masonic Sports Court, marking a milestone in the city’s REIGNITE initiative.

Originally built in the 1930s as a four-court tennis complex, the facility has been transformed into a multi-use recreation destination designed to encourage active lifestyles and provide recreational opportunities for all ages.

The renovated complex features six pickleball courts, a basketball court, four-square and hopscotch courts, ping-pong tables, cornhole, chess and checkerboard tables, a newly resurfaced parking lot and modern lighting for enhanced security and evening play.

The project also included resurfacing the city’s eight adjacent tennis courts.

City officials said the investment is intended to create a space where families can connect, friendships can grow and the community can gather for years to come.

Community members, city leaders and project partners attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the project.
