Fairfax County's Park Amenity Locator lists Franconia Rec Center at 6601 Telegraph Road, Franconia, VA 22310 with 4 Courts (Lighted, Dedicated). The same official record lists tennis context as 3 Full Lighted Courts, 4 Lighted Practice Courts, parking as On-Site Parking Available, and restrooms as Year-Round Permanent. That is delightfully specific municipal data, which is much better than a random directory declaring "pickleball exists" and then wandering off.
