Tuckahoe Park — Attraction in Falls Church

This is a nice little Park but I miss the old playground. I used to come to this park a lot as a kid because it used to have a really cool, towering play structure that was like a massive tower of wood and metal with a Beetlejuice looking black and white slide that went all the way from the top to the bottom. At some point after I stopped going because I was too old, they had apparently torn down the really cool tower and slide and replaced it with this really dumb and ugly spider web looking rope climbing structure that was about the same size if not smaller and I can’t help but think kids going there today are missing out on the imaginative adventure that old tower could inspire. Like i guess the new playground is fine for what it is if you’re a parent looking for a place for your kid to play outside, and the nature trails are kinda nice. I just feel like...

The kids love this place. They should be the ones reviewing it, but they can't type yet. I have to take their incessant begs to go to this park as their confirmation it is acceptable to their needs. Several pieces of equipment they like including a nice structure with a couple slides, a vertical spinning wheel, a couple horizontal spinning pieces, a large climbing net structure, a wobble table, a netted basket swing, a tube bell music station and a swingset.

Good to great neighborhood park in Arlington VA. Located adjacent to Tuckahoe School.

Nice play equipment. It's significantly more safe than it was 20+ years ago when I took our three young sons there to play. Safety first but honestly, I miss the old black and white striped, long, terrifying and hazardous slide.

The Park has wooded trails (young child friendly because the trails are pretty short and loop back).

There is a good winter sliding hill on the school side. The hill descends into a baseball field. No vehicle traffic at the bottom of the run.

Longish walking distance to East Falls Church Metro station.

**There is a nice Falls Church City Park approximately two blocks from the same Metro stop. Also, access to one of the Arlington Bike Ways and a "connection" to the WOD trail within...
