There's toddler-sized playground equipment in the shape of a firetruck, which was pretty perfect for my kiddos. Otherwise, there's another piece that is much bigger and definitely aimed at bigger kids. It includes a very steep slide, zip line, and fully enclosed winding slide. There are also four swings, two for younger kids and two for older kids. It's not the biggest playground, but it definitely does the trick! Parking in the library on a Sunday was clutch! It's a handy option, though I don't love having to walk along the busy road to get there.

The only disadvantage is the lack of shade.

It's easy to park on the street (Spring or First Ave). The Metro is less than 1/2 a mile away. When i taught at the language college nearby, many of the students would go here to relax. We had picnics here when the weather was nice. I am not sure if it is dog friendly, but MCCPC plans to build a dog park in the park off Ellsworth in the near (hopefully) future.

The stream is probably a drainage ditch but it has clear looking water and is really beautiful, and it's bubbling sound is so relaxing. I bring my kids here to ride their scooters around the path and run in the fields. When they get tired of that they usually move to the sand box, which ash clean white sand. Sometime we play on the swings, sometimes we play on the play structures. There is a large play structure for bigger kids, which I note is popular with teenagers, and a small structure for the toddlers. This park has some of the best swings as well. They have one round dish type swing which is great for little kids. But they also have a huge swing structure and--added bonus--there are not holes underneath the swings. This park is really popular with the local neighborhood. We always meet dog walkers. There's a working water fountain that has a dog bowl next to it. Kids are often walking through. It feels like a really positive place, so I love it! I also love the proximity to Ballston and I66. The basketball court was just resurfaced with blacktop, so that is a really nice place to play--although I've never seen anyone using it. There are also a few plastic riding toys that people have donated to the park. My kids love those. The only negative are the daycare kids. Huge groups of them stop by every now and then, and wow there are a lot of kids! They overwhelm the park. All in all, great little park! It's not fenced in so you have to stay alert if you have little ones, but it's also shielded from the road pretty well so it's a great place to stop by.

If you are looking for a quiet low key neighborhood park, then this is the place to check out. Similar to other MoCo neighborhood parks, this playground has a fairly short walking path, a set of swings, fire truck, a few slides and a monkey bar. This park is surrounded by trees so you can find some shade during a sunny day. There are a few picnic tables throughout the park, but don't expect to hold large gatherings here. This park tends to get a little busy during the afternoons, but is fairly quiet during the early morning hours. Fun for kids of all ages. If you need to get work done while you child is playing, there are a few tables that you can set at and set a space to get your work done. Overall, its a nice neighborhood park with tons of activities for your kids to play. Not super big playground, but its large enough for your kids to roam around and explore.

It's also fun to hear traffic on the beltway , in what could be described as a parallel universe. You don't feel in a busy area when at this park. Nice families are always here.
