We found this place looking for local kid friendly trails as we have a three, almost four year old. We came out to lubber run trail and entered at the parking lot above the ampitheater. It's a beautiful paved/graveled trail that winds over and around a wide flowing creek. It's beautiful, small child friendly and just big enough to be a good hike where you feel like you spent a good time hiking without wanting it to be over the last little while. The playground is accessible by a series of stairs and boasts a sandpit, slides, a rock climbing wall, playhouses, climbing areas and a basketball and tennis courts. It has a community center with an indoor track and various other amenities. A great place for a day trip although not much shade in the playground areas so it gets very hot and icky in the summer. During the spring and fall it's ideal. It is kind of disability friendly as it does have a wheelchair accessible ramp outside the community center to the playground but to get from the community center to the trail you have to take a few stairs or go out into the neighborhood road and then to an access trail to get back onto the main trail. Very pretty though and a good "not too long, not too short" kind of family trail.

As with many parks, I feel there could be more swings, especially here where it can get really busy on a weekend. Lots of fun play features here - a seesaw, small slide and playground for the littles, a sitting spin toy, and some wooden climbing structures for older kids. If there’s anything lacking, I’d actually saw they could use a bit more for older kids, but I have young kids so it’s great for us! It’s a must visit to try out the slides! Nearby are some nice wooded trails to enjoy. Plenty of street...
Read moreThis is a beautiful little park with several areas with picnic tables and charcoal grills. During the warmer months, you will find a lot of families grilling. In the middle of the park, you will find an amphitheater and plenty of restrooms. If you are a lover of dogs, this is an awesome place to do dog walking. From the park, the theatre will offer you a log of good performances. The park is nicely secluded in a woodsy area between Arlington Boulevard and George Mason Drive. Lovers of picnic will enjoy the picnic area and fire pit. Such a great place to spend time with...
