You…read morewouldn't know it's there as it is tucked away between a school, office buildings and a neighborhood. The best way to access the park is from Jermantown Road. There is plenty of parking space in the lot. The park has a single tennis court, open field, picnic pavilion, volleyball court, swing set, playground, a community garden and a shaded walking/running trail. The park is kept fairly clean and I've never seen it get too busy. I mainly use this park to run/walk on my lunch break during the work week. The trail is a simple wooded figure eight trail that is about a third of a mile in length. It has a fine gravel with a very flat grade so it's an ideal trail for a walk or run. Throughout the trail are various benches to sit on. The playground is nice and large, plus there is a swing set nearby. Both have standard mulch around them. The tennis and volleyball courts are in good condition, although there is only one of each. There is a community garden that people can pay for plots to grow their own veggies, herbs and plants. The garden does have a limit so make sure you reserve it in advance. More info can be found here: http://www.fairfaxva.gov/government/parks-recreation/parks/community-garden There are portable bathrooms nearby and I've never had to use them so I have no idea if they're in good condition or not. This park suits my needs and I think if more people knew it was there they'd use it. *This park is gun carry friendly.

Great location, and a solid park overall…read more I was hanging around in Falls Church today. This park caught my eye, and I said why not, let's check it out. Word of warning. Narrow turn into the road that leads to the lot for the park. When using Google Maps it seems to direct you a bit further in the main road. Ignore that; make a left when your gut tells you it feels right to. I came around 5 in the evening and the sun was to set soon. So I parked real fast in the semi-vacant lot, skimmed over the play area at front and made a beeline to the nature trail entrance toward the left side. Suffice it to say, never a dull day. Not disappointed to say the least. Walk was long and varied. My first time at this park so I just let my shoes do the walking. Went up the grassy knoll straight ahead, but further in to the side trail on left it gets too muddy. I didn't bring my hiking boots, so I said phooey to that, and surrendered that notion without further ado. Long winding roads down a passing nature trail. I remember crossing a small bridge, and that led into a view of stepping platforms overlooking a river or trial. I hopped on those circular blocks and made it over to the other side with ease. Grand tour of the place and then led into a quaint residential neighborhood. Whilst it was nice, the day was winding down so I had to wave adieu. Back again and a brisk re-hop of the circular land pieces, made sure not to trip or fall into water. Crossed the bridge back. Saw some folks on the way and they were just chilling and passing by. I walked into new and divergent paths that branched out and broke off to new frontiers. I would've loved to follow that trail of cheese down a ways, but alas had to head back. I got lost briefly and that owes to my being green and newcomer and going down too many paths; it's like getting spun around and then asked to point the way. I had Google directions on, so I found my way to the lot eventually after all. Not sure if I caught the sunset, but if not maybe next time. I was just rushed as I had to be somewhere before 6. So I couldn't even stay the hour. But overall, great park and trails. Nothing earth shattering mind you, but a solid and worthwhile nature retreat if ever there was one. I'll definitely swing by at least once again, it seems a good spot as any to bring a dog or pet on the walk!

The trail is pretty good for a neighborhood park and goes a decent way as it connects with some others but crossing the stream on the stepping stones can be a little tricky for some people, especially if they're wet.

Nearby are wild raspberry and blackberry bushes. 4) Farmers market- Friday mornings they have a farmers market in the parking lot. This is a true neighborhood spot.

What it did not have, strangely, was much in the way of trails or pedestrian paths. Groups of joggers were on the road with cars, which kind of seems like it defeats the whole point of having a park in the first place.

This place is clean, stocked with brand new equipment including the teacup spinner seat that would make anyone over the age of 8 vomit, and also features a paved track around its perimeter that would be a good spot for training a tyke to bike. There are shady spots and benches for grownups seeking to escape the sun, always a bonus since there is some regulation on the books that require all playgrounds to be devoid of the slightest shadow at midday. Only drawback is that unlike many Arlington parks there are no restrooms, so of course after about 15 minutes of playing my daughter realized her bladder could no longer hold all the Boylan's cream soda she'd imbibed at D.T. with her lunch.

The best thing about it, in my opinion, is that there is a continuous looped trail for bicycling along the outskirts of the park. It's the closest thing you get to a fenced-in park without it actually being fenced in. (Keep in mind that it is pretty large, and it isn't necessarily a park you'd be able to see your kid at all times if he/she ran or biked to the other end). That being said, my kids loved coming here to practice biking and I liked that it was contained. The climbing structures are great, and the rock structures enthralled my kids. There are water fountains too, but alas, no bathrooms. No matter, it's still an awesome park regardless.

The park is historically associated with the bridge that FBI double agent Robert Hanssen made a number of dead drops under for his Soviet and later-Russian handlers on multiple occasions from the late-1970s into the early-2000s. The bridge is still there, and more-or-less the park's main attraction, though it is unmarked and easy to miss. Feels like there should be at least a little informational plaque on/near the bridge, but I suppose the county/federal government doesn't want to glorify espionage. Keep in mind that the park is narrow as it hugs the creek, and passes in plain sight of suburban backyards. There are several exit paths to the trail that take you into the adjacent developments; I wouldn't recommend just walking across the brush if not near an exit path despite its proximity. This area gives strong NIMBY vibes and some of the homeowners may chide you for it. Also, there is almost no bus service in these neighborhoods and you will have to walk 30 minutes to get to the nearest metros (Spring Hill/Greensboro).

For years he left garbage bags full of US National security secrets here. On a plus note this is where, the disgraced agent was arrested for his crimes.

Connected to neighborhoods in Vienna, it certainly is safe. Well traveled during day light hours. I used to take my dog down here for walks. Admittedly I miss her but am thankful for those good memories. Was happy to meet a happy dog walking here last week. If you're in the area, this is a nice break from suburban madness.
