Thanks to the HOA fee that you pay to the Association, which include access to these pools anywhere in Reston. By the way, if you live here you will pay Reston HOA in addition to your condo fee. That's how Reston is set up way back then.

Washington DC, is THE place, where it has the most number of condos on
the market in one concentrated area. I am not kidding. When I did look at the stats, it shows that there is a condo on the market for a low $28,000. If this is true -- it's an unbelievable price! After
reading the full listing, it turns out to be that this is a sale for a parking space. Hello... parking space for sale for $28K! By the way, it is common that a parking space is deeded separately, so owner can sell the space if is not used. I've seen it also a common practice across the river, in Arlington and Alexandria.
