    Awesome gem in the middle of the suburbs and just off the 395. 6 tennis courts, 2 full court basketball courts, and a soccer field. Can rsvp tennis courts online.

    Virginia Highlands Park is a large park in Pentagon City with baseball fields, a splash park, and a playground with a sandbox for kids. My toddler loved the sandbox and the nearby drinking fountains. There's a parking lot with free parking.

    This park is like a thick supermodel who takes care of herself: beautiful, expansive, and well-kept. There are playgrounds! There are fields! It's not wide enough that you'd lose any kids, and you have a clear line-of-sight pretty much wherever you are. Virginia Highlands Park appears to be Metro accessible, but I don't know for sure since I've only ever driven here. Speaking of which, it's easy enough to get to, and there's a parking lot. Can anyone tell me how much the apartments are overlooking the park?

    This is a summer staple for little ones. This park hits most check points of qualifications that I look for when planning a fun park to visit on the weekends-- 1) The splash pad is a HUGE selling point. My oldest if 6 and he still enjoys it. We bring cups and buckets, sometimes small water guns, for a good time. 2) There is a bathroom. It isn't fancy and some visits are cleaner than others, but having a bathroom automatically puts this ahead of a good number of parks in the area. 3) There is sun coverage both at the park, near the splash pad, and in the parking lot. You should still wear sunscreen, but it does make it easier to stay for awhile when the equipment is burning hot. I really can't imagine anything I would do to change the park. My family loves coming here for an easy way to entertain the kids on a hot day.

    Green friendly and pro-sweat.

    I've swung on the playground a time or two when the local families weren't crawling around. Shady way to watch the menfolk play basketball. The water fountain duo is shut off in the cold season, and one (if not both) becomes stoppered up after suffering as the target of some child playing "Sandbox Dump Truck." Locked bathrooms during the same chilly weather to keep the homeless out, so drain your radiators at home. Dogwalkers and joggers are a common sight. The soccer field is reserved for permit-buyers, so watch your tumbles on the open areas, you'll find rocks and gravel scattered on the worn fields. Meters aren't checked on weekends in the lot, making for many happy games of flag football.

    Very nice park with a wide variety of ball fields, tennis courts, racquet ball courts and a water play area in the summer. Lots of picnic areas. A great place for a long walk, too.

    Technically, the River House Dog Park is only open to residences, BUT as long as you can find…read morestreet parking, there isn't anything stopping anyone else from bringing their well behaved pooch here. This is a smaller, gravel park, with a "small dog" area separate from larger dogs (great to keep the more timid smaller dogs away from some of the more boisterous pups), and is located behind "The Ashley" building within the River House Apartments complex. In general, owners are considerate. Everyone picks up their dogs poop, and all the dogs/owners have seemed to gotten to know the behaviors enough so if a dog starts acting out they get taken out and it doesn't become an issue. There are benches on the inside as well as outside, even non-dog owners are welcome :) I'm extremely happy that this is here now, River House was already super dog friendly (literally the only apartment complex in Arlington that allows two dogs per apartment up to 100 lbs each), but the recent dog park addition is the bees knees!

    It was Charlie and my first time at a dog park and seeing the great yelp reviews, we headed for…read moreRiver House Dog Park. The Dog Park is located right BEHIND the River House "Ashley" Building closer to N. Joyce and 15th St. The park is gate enclosed, gravel paved for the pup paws and benches for the humans. There is even a sectioned off area for smaller dogs but there were no small dogs when we went so Charlie was sent to play with the big boys and boy oh boy is he a ballbuster hehe. Dogs and their owners are real nice and friendly. There are doggie bags in case you need to clean up your pups' mess (everyone is good about it) and there is a water fountain if the pups needs it (Poor Charlie couldn't reach haha so we gave him a boost). All in all, River House has a great dog park, Charlie made lots of new friends, came home tired and mommy was happy!
