It's helpful for a quick jog. Also you'll see wildlife such as deer. There is a small amphitheater. Also little ones will like the playground. It's nothing extensive but it works.

The nature trail isn't bad a for a neighborhood park but you're close to Lee Highway and Sycamore street so of course there's lots of traffic noise.

This is a very cute park in North Arlington, perhaps somewhat smaller than others. Major points…read morehere because the sandbox is super small! Where I am from most playgrounds do not have sandboxes but in this area, it's hard to visit a park without one. Since the park is small, it gets crowded. We ended up leaving after about 90 minutes because it was getting harder to socially distance. There is a jungle gym for little kiddos near the sandbox and on the other side, one for bigger kids. I love that it is all mulch which makes it a softer blow on falls. The equipment seems older here, but no kids I know would care about that. There are bathrooms as well as picnic tables, a large grass field, and basketball courts. Parking is on-street and can be tricky. We both enjoyed Lacey Woods and will add it to our park rotation.

I was impressed by the size and how well kept it was. There is a rubberized surface play area for toddlers; with climbing structures, rolling hills, swing sets and even an enormous sandbox. There was also a large play area geared for older kids on the other side of the park. There is plenty of benches and shaded areas to sit and chill. Bonuses: There were many plastic ride on vehicles and cozy coupes scattered around for the kids to use. My nephew loved playing and riding on them. Also, the area is gated and we felt safe in the playground even though this park is right off a busy street. There are plenty of street parking as well.

They have sand to play in and a water feature which was a big hit with all the kids. Nice track to ride around and lots of things to climb, swing, and slide on. It's a busy place. Also someone made a comment about the diversity at this playground. When I was there today there was a good mix of people from different racial backgrounds, kids and adults. Also different types of family groups. There were signs for a bathroom but I didn't see it.

One of my gripes is that the sections are a little spread so when I had my infant in the swing, the toddler was on the slide so you didn't have a great view on the playgrounds. Minor things but nothing serious. Keep in mind that this park is street parking only and no restrooms.

I took my two kids ( under 6 yrs) on a Sunday mid-day and it was very busy. It's been very cold…read moreoutside and I think many parents needed their kids out and about doing something. It was definitely over-crowded and quite hard to find a table to sit down. We eventually found one right at the back of the store. The kids had the best time but scramble employees were no where to be found! There was no one monitoring kids. My kid got hurt a few times by slightly older kids and it was quite chaotic. The staff were not cleaning at all. You have to remove your shoes before entering the play area but the toilets are located inside the play designated area which means you have to go into the bathroom with socks on which is very gross. They should allow shoes in the bathroom area. Also the soap dispensers were empty and the lady that cleans the bathroom just hung out in the bathroom not really cleaning or filling the soap. The cafe - there are food options for kids and adults. We did try the kids pizza and French fries. The pizza was fine( cheese) but the fries were not good. It tasted like they fried it in very old oil. They do have coffee but I did not try it as the didn't have an option for skim milk. They do not allow outside food or drink but no one seems to really monitor that. Security - ok so this is non-existent. There is a door that divides outside area with inside play area but kids can easily open the door and leave the premises. The lady that stands by the door doesn't monitor kids matches with their guardians. She just opens and closes the door and often she is not there at all. They do not give wristbands at all or any form of security feature. So watch your kids closely while you are there as once they go into that massive play area it's difficult to locate them. The kids seemed to enjoy it as they don't worry about germs , dirt or food. I mean it's fine for an hour or so but honestly it was the last resort when deciding on a place to take the kids too. They also charge the adults an entry fee!!! ‍ I mean it's not like we are playing in the kids areas . I think we paid $55 for entry (2 kids and 2 adults). Would I go back? Not by choice but if the kids asked then I would consider it for an hour or two. ( definitely not on a weekend though).

The humidity was high, the air was thick, and there was no working A/C to keep the space comfortable. Kids were flushed and sweaty within minutes, and the lack of ventilation made it feel unsafe for extended play. Scramble usually does a good job with cleanliness and staff friendliness, but climate control is non‑negotiable. They need to fix the A/C before welcoming families in these temperatures.

There are several different places to park and a few different entrances, depending on whether you're interested in the fields, the playgrounds, the disc golf or the trails. So much to choose from! I went for the trails, which is connected to the W&OD that is 40-plus miles long and Four Mile Run. So, pick the one you'd like, and loop around back to your parking spot. I really like this park! You can also find a bench and just hang out near some trees or the fields. You can bring a blanket and toss around a frisbee and have a little picnic. You can bring your children and let them run around and play. What a find in NoVa!
