Great place to take your dog, lots of different trails to take. I saw some deer. No overlook of the Potomac anymore but a really beautiful park.A trail crosses Donaldson's Run a few times.

Super fun place for kids and adults! They have tons of hands on stuff for little ones, like a cool topographic sand table and live animals! They have tons of programs for all ages. Great spot to visit or walk in the Arlington county area

This is a hidden gem park in the neighborhood. Nice for trekking and family picnic. However parking is very limited so better come early in the morning to get a parking spot.
