    Menu for splash pad

    Fun place for kiddos. Park and adjacent water park ( I think pool also ) . Not sure on hours yet. Also has a trail and a community center with a pool just a short walk across the way.

    Absolutely love this place!!! Stopped by to check it out on a day trip and will definitely be back again. The kids enjoyed both parts of the playground and splash park. Upon arrival to the splash park you are greeted at the gate and explained the rules of no climbing or running and must have shoes on the whole time. I recommend the kids wear water shoes or crocs. They have shaded areas to sit but are quickly taken. They also have benches but in direct Sun. Either way, we sat in both areas. They have about 3-4 bathrooms in the splash park and more in the playground area. They all come with a sink and diaper changing areas for kids. Bathrooms are spacious to change in and pretty clean for the most part. Everything is feee except the $3 carousel ride and the $3 icecream they sell by the splash park. No outside food or drinks at the splash park except bottled water.

    Cheesie's Big Backyard seems like a family dream. There's a splash park (closed during the pandemic), two playgrounds, trails, a "treehouse," a carousel and an amphitheater. On a cooler day, it is a dream. Kids love it and parents love that they love it. However, on a hot sunny day playing at the playground can be torture. There's no shade over the playground making every slide very hot and unusable. Because of this, our trip was cut short.

    This is great place to enjoy with the kids, the playground is great very large plenty to do. The park also has a wooden art area that are great to see with family. Park has area to walk and enjoy the tree and animals. There's no fee to used the park or playground, Park has summer flash area during the summer.

    Great place to bring the kids. Age appropriate play areas, carousel, water play area, picnic tables and walking paths.

    Splash pad

    This is a great place. It's free and it has a play area connected and picnic tables to eat at. You can bring your own food and drink. They do sell water and ice cream. You have to leave the splash pad to eat. You can drink water while in the splash pad . They ask you to wear water shoes. It does get filled quick so come when they open or after lunch. Several places to sit in the sidelines and you don't get wet. There isn't any benches around play area. You have to sit on the cement around the toddler area. There are bathrooms in the splash pad. Fun place to cool off

    Beautiful well maintained playground with lots of play equipment for the kids to choose from. My favorite part is the all of the well shaded seating for parents! This playground is on a larger sports complex with another smaller playground, both are great, but this one is my new favorite.

    It's one of those hidden gems!…read more Great place to walk / hang out Great place to walk around, play basketball, chalk art the sidewalks, have a picnic. Located below the I-495 -Woodrow Wilson Bridge, the park is right at the southernmost point and great water views of Virginia and sites within Maryland like the National Harbor across the Potomac River. There is a walking trail along the river with informational signs and displays that describe the really cool, informative information markers of sights and the past history of the area along the trail. A 10-minute walk on the trail will bring you to other parks (Ford's Landing, Shipyard, and Roberdeaux) and eventually to Old Town Alexandria with its many shops and restaurants --situated along the water. Another added plus is that the park offers a place for fishing, playgrounds, basketball courts, and multi-use fields. I came here with some friends for the first time and had a relaxing time just being outdoors and enjoying this great space in nature. We grabbed a picnic table....while having lunch and taking in the weather. Between the space and multi-use areas, it is the perfect spot to for walks along the river, running, exercising or simply....raking time to put things on pause and enjoy the outdoors. ELITE TIP: It is a good place to park if you are planning to visit Old Town Alexandria and want an easy place to park.....without having to deal with the limited street parking, risk of parking meter tickets or the high price garage parking. and enjoy a walk along the river.

    Beautiful park in Alexandria with water views. We walked about a mile, just past the restaurants…read moreBarca and some on the water. Then circled back for about a little over 2 miles. It's best to go early. Plenty of benches and covered areas for comfort while in the sun. Great place to walk with your dog or go on a date. There were also other places you could park further down the walk if you don't want to start at the end near the bridge. Lovely walk that I would enjoy doing again.
