Everybody's really friendly and they have it very organized to where everyone gets a turn to play. There is a playground right next to the courts so in case you have kids, it's perfect to bring them and let them play as well. They also have basketball courts and on winter you are able to play indoor volleyball or pickle ball . I can forget to mention that they have bathroom and water fountain

Along the Potomac River northwest of Georgetown is a close-knit community called The Palisades…read more This is its recreation center. There's a small parking lot in the front and trails that lead to an actual recreation center, fields and a playground that doubles as a splash park in the summer. My four-year-old daughter loved the playground. It's modeled after an Indigenous American village along the Potomac River with slides, etc. For being in a wealthy neighborhood, it's a little run down, but still a lot of fun. If you like quirky art, take the small dirt path to the right when facing the parking lot. Walk a few yards to a small opening in the forest to find the "Glass Forest" with art hanging on the trees. It's a little creepy, but also quirky!

Hmmm...I suppose I was assuming this playground would be more than it was given the area…read more The good: *a couple slides, things to climb on *dedicated parking lot *fitness equipment *skate park (definitely check this out) The issues: *the equipment is old and run down: pieces of the padded floor are all over the place and kids throw them *back to those kids and why we won't be back....where are the parents, nannies, guardians, SOME adult?! There were lots around but no one was telling their kid to not throw pieces of the ground at people. My son was excited about the slide....until he was trampled while going down it by 4 kids (at least 8 years old so they should know better anyways) running up the slide. This hasn't ever been an issue before since caretakers are usually at least sort of watching their kids but nope not here. Overall the equipment was boring and the playground way beyond capacity, particularly during these times. Not a fan, won't be back.

I left the class feeling more relaxed, energized, and motivated to continue practicing yoga. Make sure to tell them about any injuries so they can provide modifications.

There are so many limitations and restrictions and things that get in the way of a patient and getting what they need.

After swimming during their "family time," we will definitely be back. Here's why. 1) Admission: Run by Arlington Parks and Rec, admission is required for everyone. It's slightly cheaper for Arlington residents. Our friends who went right when family time started paid $25 as D.C. residents. We got their with only two hours left and weren't charged anything. 2) Pools: One side has lap pools for adults and lessons. The other side has a large pool, lazy river, little kid space, and water slide for families. The water was clean and the lazy river was fun. (The current is stronger than expected making it fun.) 3) Space: They have family changing areas with showers with hot water, lockers (bring your own locks), and more. Upstairs is a gym and an outdoor terrace bleeding into Long Bridge Park with views of National Airport and Washington, D.C. 4) Parking: With such a large parking lot, you can usually find a space. Of course, parking is free. 5) Area: Afterwards, grab lunch or dinner at nearby Crystal City where you can find fats casual like Rasa and sit-down restaurants.

I did the one week free trial and had a great zen time. I tried four different types of classes:…read moreYoga Sculpt, C2 Yoga, Core Restore, and CSX (Full Body). I really liked the instructor Ann who led my C2 class. She led us through basic yoga flows and also showed us how to do more challenging poses. I appreciated the personal feedback on my form. Yoga Sculpt classes seem to be the most popular at CorePower because it's HIIT style with weights, and it resembled some of the pilates classes I've done before. For traditional yoga, I really enjoyed C2 and Core Restore! The 2pm Core Restore class in Clarendon location is also free. I found both of them very meditative. The facility in Ballston is also very nice. There's 2 rooms (with around 20-30? available slots) and a nice changing area with showers and products you can use. I really enjoyed my experience with Corepower and will be back! FYI when you start the one week trial, you get 7 full days to take classes, starting from your 1st class, but if you're having issues with access to book online (it only lets you book a week out from the current day), I called CorePower. Their support number is very helpful!
