While my aging knees enjoyed the recycled tire floors, my daughter and her cousins raced around madly between the merry-go-round, see saws, sand pits, mini playhouses, GIANT slides, rock climbing hill, and natural climbing structure that just stretches the imagination for days. I dare you not to have fun here!

This was one of my favorite parks in Northern Virginia. I still remember when my daughter summoned…read morethe courage to go down the "big blue tunnel slide." The sandbox was always clean as were the restrooms. There's a fun nature trail too. I have many fond memories of supervising playmates building houses with sticks and branches while chatting with mom friends. There's a beautiful nature trial where my children and I would take long walks together.

This is a very cute park in North Arlington, perhaps somewhat smaller than others. Major points…read morehere because the sandbox is super small! Where I am from most playgrounds do not have sandboxes but in this area, it's hard to visit a park without one. Since the park is small, it gets crowded. We ended up leaving after about 90 minutes because it was getting harder to socially distance. There is a jungle gym for little kiddos near the sandbox and on the other side, one for bigger kids. I love that it is all mulch which makes it a softer blow on falls. The equipment seems older here, but no kids I know would care about that. There are bathrooms as well as picnic tables, a large grass field, and basketball courts. Parking is on-street and can be tricky. We both enjoyed Lacey Woods and will add it to our park rotation.

The photos that were on here previously must be of the park as it used to be, because it's clearly…read morebeen recently renovated and is simply awesome now!! The entire kids playground area is fenced in, they have public bathrooms right next to it (currently closed for the winter), there is a sheltered eating area, basketball court, and soccer field next to it. And did I mention how awesome the playground itself is?? There is also a small dedicated parking strip as well as street parking through the neighborhood. The play structures are made to look like wooden treehouses, and even have little hidden creatures carved into the trees (which were super fun for my daughter to try and identify.) there's a "big kid" structure and a little kid one -- although the slide on the little kid one is still really fast! Fair warning, haha. I like that once the kids get up towards the top of the big kid slide it's completely enclosed by netting, although the level underneath has a lot of places where smaller babes could fall off, so just keep an eye on your littler climbers. There is one of those netted rope tire swings as well as a couple of baby swings, a double-seated see-saw, and an natural play space area with branches and sawed logs and stuff where kids can build and get creative. I'm a huge fan of Madison Manor and will absolutely be back soon!

The park features a basketball court, a picnic shelter, a playground, and picnic tables. It seems a little out dated and trashy. You will find 2 fenced in playgrounds areas here. The larger playground area, which is designed for older kids, has has a large jungle gym with a rock climbing structure, monkey rings, slides, bridges, tunnels and canopies. There is also a bank of traditional/ADA swings here. The area is lined with wood chips, with a rubber mat path going down the center. The other playground area, which is designed for pre-schoolers, has a small jungle gym with a rock climbing wall, a small canopy, a small rock climbing wall and a couple of slides. It seems much older and worn than the one on the other side. There is also a small blue wooden house, a mock pirate ship, a rocker animal and a few plastic tables and cars that you would get from a department store in this section as well. The area is lined with rubber matting and sand. It was not my favorite area to say the least. In between the two fenced playground areas, you will find a few benches to sit. The picnic shelter has a bunch of picnic tables under it and is in decent shape. The basketball court is a full court and is in fair shape. The park has a fair amount of green space to play, but the grass does have a large bald spot in the front that is just dirt and a few patches near the basketball court. The back side of the park, across the walkway, is where you will find some picnic tables and grills in a shaded area. This park needs a little TLC and updates to get it back up to speed. It is a fair park and would be an ok place to pass time if you are in the area. It would not be my go-to or destination park though. It does have a lot of potential though and I hope that it makes the needed modifications to reach that potential.

This almost completely fenced-in playground is shaded and fairly empty in the morning. It has a…read morecool woodland theme so all of the play structures look like logs/trees and there are even some fake owl and squirrel faces carved into them. There is a great play section for 2-5 year olds with 2 slides, a baby swing and regular swing, a little climb-through tunnel, and a sandbox with a push-button water faucet that's great for rinsing off sandy feet and hands or for adding to dry sand to make sand castles. Then there is another play section on a raised area of the playground with a larger slide and climbing apparatus meant for 6-12 year olds. The best thing about the playground, though, is that the ground is astro turf, which is very comfy and not messy! There are also two shaded picnic tables and several benches to sit on. The playground is handicapped-accessible, has street parking as well as a parking lot next to it, and has bike parking inside its fence as well. There are no dogs allowed. The playground is cleaned by the county at least weekly, from my observations.

This is a cute park located in North Arlington close to Rosslyn. It is divided into a 2-5 area and…read morea 5-12 area. There's also a small sandbox. The 2-5 area is just a smaller version of the 5-12 area. It's a tree-themed park so the slides are made to look like hollowed out trees. The steps for the older area lead to a hollowed out cubby tree then up to the big slide. There are a couple grills here and a cement path around the perimeter for riding bikes, scooters, etc. parking is on the street and supposedly pay parking, but you can easily see your car from the park so you may want to take that risk. Currently there is only one big kid swing and no baby swing. The park is fenced in which is nice. I like the fake grass padding all around the play areas. This is not a destination park but if you're nearby, check it out.

There's also a fenced basketball court and a big field to play in. While we were there, three pre-school classes also came out to play which got a little wild. There's plenty of metered parking on the street.

My initial interactions with this place…read moreare as a polling place every year, in which case parking is very limited and you find yourself snaking around the inside of the building to vote. However, throughout the years this has been a great place to jog through, or sit in the grass at the picnic tables scattered through the grassy area behind the tennis courts. Now that I have a daughter, we walk through this community center with her stroller just about every day that the weather allows it. She's still too young to join the other kids on the playground, but I look forward to when she can. The place is always kept nice and clean, the gardens looking pretty, and sidewalks/pavement kept up (since having to push around a stroller, I seriously notice which sidewalks/pavement are and aren't well maintained...) Anyway, I feel like this place truly gives meaning to the COMMUNITY aspect of this center.
