The first thing you see is also the most eye-catching—the long, curvy brown waterfall walls with enough benches scattered nearby to enjoy the zen of it all. Mind you—this isn’t a huge park and even climbing above the waterfalls isn’t exactly a view of the city… but it was still a great break from the bustle of the location. The little snack shack inside helps to cater to the passers-by but often I see people inside here reading a book or catching up on conversation. Unsurprisingly the waterfall walls provide backdrops to many a photographer. On certain(?) Fridays the Park plays host to a casual wine event—but I’ve only passed by this event so I can’t say much on it except it seems well attended.

I love this park. Its the best place to visit frequently if you live in Arlington, VA near the Pentagon. Its a short walk from Pentagon City and its near the entrance of the best bike ride in town. Bike all the way to Georgetown if you make a left & back and thats 5 miles. Do it four times, and you biked 20 miles and visited DC twice in one day. Best exercize and lots of fun. I love this park, its what I call my favorite "kissing spot" at the top. Swirl up the top and youll see what I mean. Great place for yoga in the mornings too.

Really love coming here. Almost daily on our walks. It has a dog watering station along side the people fountain and bike repair stand that we always use, right at the entrance to the Mt Vernon Trail. The chairs, hammocks and fountains ate a great lunch spot. Theres also a little Egyptian food stand that always smells great. Love how relaxing this spot is with the water & ping pong table and large chess board for everyone to use. Great gem of the city.

I go here often when I have clients for photography. The area provides a unique backdrop. It has a really cool overlook at the top as well. Theres a convenient concession and plenty of tables to setup a laptop and enjoy a peaceful evening of work with soothing sounds of running water.

Great little outdoor area with several tables and chairs for a lunchtime getaway with co-workers (many go on a good, sunny day); little place to buy food on-site and food vans often line the opposite side of the road; if you want a spot to eat, come early, as it fills

There is a quinceanera here every Saturday and Sunday when its warm. So watch out for that. Vending machine that sells emergency bicycle repair equipment. Free to use pump with tire keys. Little booth that sells Gatorade and microwaved Indian food.

A surprising little park nestled between Crystal Dr. and the train tracks. Complete with a waterfall wall, a cafe, and brightly colored patio furniture; the park is charming even if the nearby traffic occasionally impinges on its peacefulness.

Great little place to bring your lunch in Crystal City. Tables can be hard to come by on a nice day, and if youre not a fan of smooth jazz on the PA system you might want to head somewhere else.

Love this park and the events held here. Especially proud of CC Bid and Bike Arlington for installing their bike station and vending machine! Very cool concept and execution.

This is a private park open to the public. It is a great for a little rest and relaxation, as well as a place to take the kids. The grounds keepers are artists.

Loved it. Great spot in the city to relax, a fair amount of shade, free provided chairs and a large outdoor chess set complete your visit.

Turner Monroe

Great park, they have outdoor table tennis, and giant chess you can play for free. Lots of hammocks and chairs and tables, oh my!

Austin Semmel

Fantastic location to read a book in peace and quiet if there isnt a party or something going on.

Mike Smith

The new adirondack chairs and rockers are yet another nice touch on this hidden, urban gem.

A great and beautiful location to just relax and listen to the music.
