It's amenities include a porta potty at one end and a Capital bike rideshare, and bus stop at the other end. It basically looks like a spot where all the office workers like to hang out at when they're at lunch. It's not worth seeking out as the photos included show.

After…read moreclimbing up some steep steps to the top of the hill, you'll find some benches and a bit of a view looking down at Georgetown (maybe taller folks have a better view, but my view was mostly obstructed). It's a nice place to make a stop if you're in the neighborhood. I stopped by last weekend with my coffee and book and just relaxed for a few minutes. It's a nice little spot in Georgetown.

To get here you need to walk up some serious steps, however I found out too late that there is another entrance behind the library without steps. It's funny I e been to the library before but never noticed the small park behind it. Whe I say small, I mean small. There are probably 5 - 6 park benches, and there are an abundance of trees which is a good thing. I walked thru but didn't stay long. It's interesting to stumble upon these interesting places in Georgetown.

Really nice dedicated trail for those not in a car!…read more I love these kinds of paths where its only for walking, running, on bikes, skates, scooters, etc. This path also connects with the Rhode Island Ave Trolley Trail and gives you miles and miles of quiet, safe paths to enjoy! I plan to do more jogging further going both ways to see what I discover. Nature and physical activity are the best medicine! And its free!!

Decent park. I believe it's about 15 acres in size. For Arlington County it's quite big. My…read morefavorite part is the jogging path. Good pavement for busted up joints. It's helpful for a quick jog. Also you'll see wildlife such as deer. There is a small amphitheater. Also little ones will like the playground. It's nothing extensive but it works. Usually can park here with ease. Is it worth driving miles for? No but it works if you are close by, as basketball and tennis courts are available.

The nature trail isn't bad a for a neighborhood park but you're close to Lee Highway and Sycamore street so of course there's lots of traffic noise.

Smooth, well-maintained pathway with clear traffic directions, which accommodates walkers, runners, scooters, and bicycles. There is also a dog park and an events space.

I wish communities would build more spaces like this for the people of their community.

There is parking around the park's perimeter and within a reasonable walking distance. The park is managed cooperatively by the District Department of Parks and Recreation and the District Department of General Services. This is not a destination park, but a spot for drifters to hang out for a bit. It the center of the park, you will find a permanent sculpture installation, "Let Us Lift Each Other Up: A Tribute to Margaret Cooper and Lillian Gordon." The piece is the work of Chris Soteri Tousimis and was commissioned by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to celebrate the neighborhood's history and resilience. Around the sculpture, you will find a patch of green space, bordered by a brick walkway. There are benches along the brick walkway. The park's grass has many bald patches and could really benefit from reseeding. There was also an abandoned shopping cart in the park while I was there and a couple of people on electric scooters taking a break there. Being that the park is off of a very busy road, it is not peaceful and has many distractions.
