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.

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.

I wasn't trying to work out or use any equipment, just quietly wait in the lobby area. Which I did in Onlife in Burke. Honestly, I didn't know you needed an ID just to sit down in a corporate gym. The way it was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Customer service and basic courtesy should be better than this. Just created a Yelp sorry for the two reviews

It's nothing fancy, just a community rec center with a weight/machine room and class area. They do offer pretty decent classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights--one night is a weight class and the other an aerobics class. If you're looking for high end machines and weights with a nice locker room, this place is not for you. Most of the devices are old and the space it tight, but if you're on a budget or just want to get a quick workout in, the Lee Center will get the job done. There is also a tennis court and basketball court, as well as a baseball diamond where little league teams come out to practice and play. I haven't been by to see if the pool is open...it was closed last summer. Hopefully it's open so I have an easy way to cool off during this summer heat! The staff is super nice as well. They're all locals and know everything about the area, so even if you're not in need of a place to work out, they are a great resource for anything and everything to do and find in Alexandria.

Unfortunately there are only a couple of lanes available in the deep end as the rest of the deep end is saved for things like water aerobics. The weight room was pretty disappointing. It was missing quite a bit of equipment I would expect in a weight room. I ended up choosing a different gym for my weight lifting, as I was constantly having to change my planned workout due to a lack of equipment. The pool is good though.
