Very nice park down by 4 mile run and the bike trail. Big picnic pavilion with bathrooms, two play areas with slides, swings, sand box and benches tables. Close to the dog park too. Some limited parking is available near the park. Other parking is available at the top of the hill, or near the dog park.

Fancy slides and swings and sand pit. Come prepared for dirty kids if in the sand. And wet if jumping in the stream. You can also stay dry if you make them.

Clean and pretty. Right on the creek and trails.

Amazing bike/running trail! Very beautiful. It has a great playground and small river for kids to play in

Two ped & bike bridges washed away in recent storm, removed old one, but not seen when rebuilding plans. Nearby rest rooms closed right after reconstruction including picnic pavilion and put up chemical toilets. If going from w&od outbound bad hills as work around out to South Carlyn Springs road by the nature center and two schools... Water cleanliness of streams and reports on here of needles & condoms in dog park water, so beware, when not raw sewage from pipe breaks, etc. Low concrete bridges flood out, but high w&od usually ok. Big hills into and out of besides w&od rail trail (east west ish). Update: adding some off color stream day photos

LOVED the creek. I could spend all day there.

Great open space to wall and make good moments alone or whit the family.

Nice playground. Next to creek.

Very nice park , well equipped for grilling

Super fun park and pretty shaded just in case bring your bug spray or make a natural chemical free super easy ask me how !

Nice rest area on W&OD biking and hiking trail. However, the restrooms are closed for repair and the park have two portable potties next to restrooms. This park have vehicle access with few parking spots. I found electric outlets in the shelter. Stream pass through the park and I am not sure on how safe the water for consumption. Picnic shelter is beautiful and I believe it is open for public.

A very good place to get a walk or for family

Good looking park.

This is one of those parks your kids will remember fondly as they grow. Its perfect for kids ages one and eight. The park has a locked gate and so its very safe for them since they cant just walk off because of the fenced in area. For older kids, as well as grown ups, theres basement and plenty of run around land

Great playground. I only give it four stars because two of the bridges to access it were carried away in the summer storms, and havent yet been replaced.

The picnic shelter is under renovations. So far it looks AWESOME! Also happy they were able to preserve mature trees during construction. The shelter should be open to the public by this Spring. This is a wonderfully wooded park and the new shelter will blend in very nicely.

Wonderful dog park with a creek for dogs to cool off and play.

OMG! My kids where in LOVEEE with this place so much that we made plans immediately to have my middle babys b-day party here. Parking is the worse for the picnic areas, however. There is plenty to do here.

Clean, kid friendly, you can ride bikes, walk, run...or read a good book.

Great dog park for off leash adventures. Doggo can play in the creek and run around the woods and chase squirrels. Plenty of parking in multiple small lots. If one is full, keep looking! Permanent cleaned bathrooms and some port a potties scattered around. Plus pavilions and grills available, some by reservation. Check online for deets.

Needs the two bridges replaced after the storm in summer... Bathrooms at the pavilion too. Got directions/reminder/companion the other day walking along the dog path and that one bridge still exists, had forgotten it was even there its been so long... Some kids hang out and missing critters, so not sure whats up with that... Park bathrooms open again, yeah. SunRise to SunSet +/-.

Probably the most beautiful Dog Park i have ever seen. I cant imagine how beautiful it will become covered with snow. Screen Saver picture. Wonderfull and peaceful place to be in touch with nature! 5 stars !

Nice place to be on family!

Best offleash dog park in the greater DC area. Not only does it have rivers to swim/play in but half of it is a giant hill so your dogs are guaranteed to get worn out. Beware though, there arent any fences around the outside so might not be good for dogs who arent trained yet or subject to bolt.

Its a wonderful local park that l have been going to since l was a kid. The park is aways clean. It seams to be a safe place for all ages.

Nice playground for kids. Great dog park with a stream running through it. Also lots of covered areas for picnics and some trails through the woods. Plus the 4 mile run path runs through. A nice spot all around.

Cool and shady dog park. Not fenced in but no roads nearby. We go there often.

This playground is amazing, but as of this post, is currently under construction so access is limited.

A lot of kids love it.

Playground CLOSED due to storm damage, otherwise 5 stars.Wish they had not put trash and recycling bins between pavilion tables and 4 mile run, destroys the beauty and view.

There are 2 Bridges out near the park but its still awesome

Kids love the playground equipment. There are swings and a little sand box as well. There are restrooms that are maintained well. The only reason for 4 stars is this park is located along a bike trail and some of the bicyclists ride very fast and are somewhat aggressive, so make sure your kids dont venture near the path.

This is a great dog park. Unlike other parks in the area, there are very few dogs here most of the time. The busiest Ive ever seen it is around 4 or 5 dogs. There is quite a bit of space, somewhat clear flat space right in the entrance, as well as some wooded trails in surrounding hills. Beware, the boundaries of the park are unfenced, so you will need to keep an eye on your dog.

Wonderful nature. Clean, air conditioned restrooms stocked with hand soap, but only womens restroom has baby changing station. The roof of the picnic area could use some repairs.

Beautiful!

Very nice place for playing and picnic

Really nice area, there are no fences but has a water feature. Trails go through the park so there are people walking and riding their bikes through which is interesting. Overall a good experience and will be taking my pup back

Nice park with trails and dog friendly areas. The dog park section has access to water and is well kept. I am giving a low rating because of the used hyperdermic needles and used condoms that were on trails and in parking area

Friendly place. Dogs play together in the woods or in the stream. No fences though, so not a good place for dogs that might run away from their people.

Miss Arlington. Used to love riding my bike thru the park along the bike trails.

Beautiful park .relaxing alot of trees araun

Very nice area. Nice picnic area, nice creek, nice playground.

Normally great but currently closed due to flood damage. 9/10/19

So glad to have woods nearby with a dog park.

Very good

A nice woodsy setting for a playground. Great for biking to since there isnt much parking. Thoughtful landscaping with native plants that blend well with the forest.

Good bathroom, but has spiders on childrens playground and a sand pit to track sand into your car. Use for a pit stop on the W&OD or run your kids through the swings.

Great playground space with recently built equipment. Bathrooms and a pavilion nearby are popular for parties. The sandbox currently has sand wasps though (August 2018).

There are a few grilling areas. There are covered picnic areas as well as open tables. The bike paths are well paved and nice to travel along. The dog park is amazong of your dog can handle running through a creek and big open spaces.

Great park

A wooded escape in the heart of the city. Facilities include picnic areas, dog park, playground, and lots of space to ride bikes along the adjacent paved path of the old railroad right of way. Occasional bathrooms.

Picnic shelter, Creek, playground wildlife and right in our backyard. So many opportunities to have an open ended adventure.

Best dog park in the DC Metro area! Its not fenced in, which scared me at first, but the river on one side and trees on the other seem to keep dogs from going very far. My dog had a great time swimming and running around. Also saw lots of kids playing on the playground nearby, which looked like a great place for families. Hidden gem in Arlington, a short drive or nice run from the Clarendon/Courthouse area.

Today I really scared about dogs. This park is a good place for dog, not for children and family. I am 20 weeks pregnant. I really worry about my little girl. I hate this park. The dogs are open. No body control this person who has dog.

DO NOT go to the dog park from 2:30-3 pm on school days.This was one of my favorite places to go on the trails, use the dog park, have my 2 year old go on the playground. I had no problem going on my own with no protection but my 60 lb dog; until today.Around 2:45 some kids from Kenmore Middle School were cutting through the trees to go home. A few boys started screaming profanities and lewd comments at me. They threaten to kill my infant and threw rocks at us.I called the police to see if they could patrol the area at that time.Be careful.

The worst park i have ever been too...chirch picnic small one way roads...if somone is coming you have to back up to let them pass...hard to fine... No field cement ...overall horrible!

This is a great park overall. Ive never played on the playground, but as a grown adult, I envied the kids that got to run around freely on it.

New and well maintained equipment. Treehouse climbing structure is interesting and novel, keeping my kids interested. Nice trails through the woods nearby.

Great for kids

Wow that is all I have to say beautiful park

I was a little nervous about actually driving down the trail but its a beautiful park. The people were friendly and there is plenty space for the dogs to roam around. Also water there to take a little dip. Will make this a regular visit.

It is a great park hidden in a busy city. I go running here daily and love the greenery and the springs.

Very clean my kids loved it

Peaceful walks on this trail.. get off the beaten path to explore more.

My dogs favorite place

Lovely paths for strolling.

Adorable playground with two areas for smaller children and older children, a sand pit, picnic area, and public bathrooms. Right off the four-mile run bike path and just a few minutes walk from the Long Branch Nature Center.

Hopefully the county replaces the foot bridges and playground that were wiped out by the floods in June.

A very unique dog park. Dont expect a fenced in grassy area. This is beautiful wooded streams with sandy shores.

Great

Very nice, quiet place .I love to go there a lot and enjoy the view of the trees and the river

A wonderful place to stroll through.

Great place to walk dogs and picnic.

Really fun park. Great for kids and adults. It is off the beaten path.

Very pretty park. Playground is okay but great place to walk around.

Nice, quiet little park with a creek. The dog park makes it a bit less fun, with all the off leash dogs running around in an unfenced area

This is a great dog park and place to let your dog run (and run). Glad I found it.

Lovely little shaded park with grills. Access is a pain.

Great park to hike with your pup

I love the place

This park is very comfortable to relax with family very nice

Great dog park. But not fenced.

Pretty sweet park. Right off the WO&D running trail.

Beautiful

Very scenic, especially when it rains!

Nice

Love to bring the dog to this location!

Nice park with clean public restrooms.

Awesome park for kids off the bike path

Great for walking.

Peaceful

Nice playground

Great dog park

Beautiful Park with off leash dog area

Nice hike, stream, people, etc.

Park is closed for construction.

Great dog park they have a river that runs through the middle of it and some trails you can walk as well

Love this place!

Loved the tree house playground.

Kids will love it
