We're talking a soccer field, baseball field, volley ball are, tennis courts, and a really large play area for kids that is fenced off. There are also several park benches and a few of them have the roof canopy for those doing the picnic thing. I even saw a baseball practice area which is also enclosed. When I came today in a Sunday, there were several groups playing tennis and about twenty people playing volleyball which was cool. Having been stationed here for a short period of time, I wasn't even aware that the park existed. The park is located next to a library and it seems like there are also several condo buildings nearby.

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.

Nice little spray ground and park with a fairly good variety of play equipment and options (in…read moreaddition to the spray ground on the left side of the entrance, there's also a large sand pit/play area, a couple swing sets, several other smallish but adequate climbing structures, open grass spaces, covered picnic table area, and other elements I can't quite remember at the moment. None of these are particularly amazing or updated like the fancy new stuff at many other playgrounds in the area, but all work perfectly well for kids (and parents) looking for a place to simply run and play. The area is fenced and gated (with a relatively child proof or at least child resistant locking mechanism) which I like a lot and wish all parks offered. I did not walk all the around to the back of the grassy area on the other side of the picnic structure to check to see if the fence went all the way around the entire park though, so I can't speak to the full "security" of the park overall, but it definitely seems securely fenced on the street side where all or most of the actual playground equipment is located, and I was able to watch my three kids play in different areas on either side fairly easily from my vantage point at the central picnic structure. It's not my kids' first choice of park in the area, given so many other nearby options like Quincy, Oak Grove, Woodstock, Woodlawn, Mosaic Park, Madison Manor and others, but it's a perfectly nice neighborhood park with a number of enticing elements like the spray ground, sand pit play area, covered picnic shelter, and several tennis and basketball courts. Particularly good park choice for birthday parties, btw.

This is definitely for the 5 and under crowd IMO. There are no big slides, no extensive climbing apparatuses. There's 2 baby swings and 2 big swings. There's a large sand pit that includes an excavator for digging and a play kitchen. There is a 3 person seesaw and a tiny pirate ship. There are two small slides. The centerpiece is supposed to be a solar system themed spray park. Currently you can climb on the "planets". Water fountains are working. There are tennis courts and a small bike circle. If you have bigger kids, go elsewhere but this is perfect for toddlers!

The park is well kept, I was really impressed. The playground equipment was in good standing with nothing being broken. There were swings, slides of various sides, a sand pit (which wasn't that nice but was okay), and a great merry go round. If this park gets boring, you can simply walk over to the other side of the interstate and see Bon Air park. There is a path going under the interstate that connects them. It's great because there is a lot of shade and there's even a shade garden in Bon Air park, as well as more restrooms and barbecue pits. There is also plenty of parking for this park. There's a parking lot and I'm sure you can also find spots in the neighborhood or even on the other side of the interstate adjacent to Bon Air park, if you are really desperate to find a spot and don't mind a short walk. My kids had an absolute blast at this playground. We will definitely be coming back!

My little ones are all under the age of 4 and have no problem getting around the play area (although monkey bars and the zip line are a little out of the question). There are 2 swings, one regular and the order inclusive. There's a small shelter right by the playground with 2 picnic tables. Behind the swing area is a large grassy area for kids to run around and play ball. At this park, there are soccer fields on the opposite end of the playground and parking lot. I haven't had to the chance to actually explore that area so I can't say much on that. Also, it doesn't appear that there are any public restrooms or porta potty nearby, which can be challenging for children just learning to be potty trained so I guess just come prepared. Other than that, there isn't really anything terrible to say. It's a decent park and my kids enjoy it so no complaints.

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!
