Its not a huge area but this park caught my attention when I saw nearly 2/3 of the place is woods. Ive become so accustomed to parks being open spaces with a a few trees (if any). Especially, not enough to block view of the house on the other side. So as you can guess, to be able to get to be surrounded by tall trees shading the sun a bit was a treat. In the woods there is a pavilion and a separate a fire pit area - the trail to those places is paved making it available for someone in a wheelchair to enjoy as well. In the grassy part theres an open space for sports, basketball hoops and a (currently being renovated) playground. This is a great place to just enjoy being outside with out the noisy distractions that a town or city offer.

One of the older park designs, as of this writing. Enough to entertain rug rats for a while though, and in good condition. Great field for tossing frisbees, or an impromptu soccer pitch. The bathrooms are only seasonally available. Basketball court lights stay on fairly late. For meeting space, the pavilion and fire ring in the woods give lots of privacy. Parking on George Mason is busy, but you can also park on the other side of the park (N Frederick St) which is much calmer.

This place is next to a very busy street, however theres free parking readily available off the street. There is a decent flat, grassy field, a nice jungle gym for kids, 2 pavilion areas (that are reservable), a basketball court, and bathrooms. There is a good amount of cool, shady, woods to walk through with little dirt paths, however this would not be a good place to run.

Good playground for the kids, a nice wooded area to explore, grass to play soccer on, a basketball court. Has everything you need at a park. Of course the parking can be a problem but welcome to Arlington. And I have never used the bathrooms so no comment on them.

We took our two year old to this park and she had a lot of fun. Not too crowded on the Sunday afternoon we went, and it has a pretty nice slide. They had the little kid swings, but no big kid swings that I recall, though.

Great park with a playground with a big slide, grass field, a wooded area, a picnic area with a large fire ring, and bathrooms. Parking is on a busy street with lots of cars speeding by.
