It's a very nice park. It is not very big, but there is a nice stream that runs through the middle. Not a lot of hills in a very hilly part of Alexandria. There is a playground and a picnic area with parking, plus a porta potty. Trails are pretty but short.
I was pretty underwhelmed. No real markings for trails, a lot of trash, and the one longer path terminated in a closed trail barricade. It did manage to feel like a dense forest at points - but also felt quite unloved.
I go every time I can to Bren Mar Park because is a beautiful place for take a walk with my dog, and also because it has a lot forest and feel stress out. I highly recommend this this park for a walk in the afternoon after work, and you can enjoy nature!
If you want a nature walk close to the city, this is one of your best option. Nice places to walk, not crowded, picnic areas, playgroud, and it is free!
Safe and fun place for kids. The playground is nice, there is a green area and a trail. I just would have liked the trail was accesible for strollers.
Great park for walk and jogging.
Nice park for a short walk through the forest next to a creek. Kids had fun throwing rocks in. Playground was fine but it could use some attention. The only restroom I saw was a portable unit across from the playground.
A place where you can walk, run, exercise, sit and enjoy until you leave that place but with relaxed mind and body.
Been here plenty of times! Itâs great if you want to see ducks, turtles, etc. The park is so beautiful and itâs a good way to explore nature! I usually come here with my family during the summer when we do our early morning walks.
Low planes fly by, trains go byâ¦awesome for kids! Wheelchair Accessible play areas. Street parking, gated play areas, port-a-potty (large and small). Splash pads in summer. Swings for mommy and baby! Kids liked the maze area a lot!
I really liked this park. It's very nice and relaxing place. Many people playing volleyball. Others jogging with their pets. Sometimes parkour people is around too. Take your time in this place, is very comfortable.
Even on an overcast day this was a beautiful area. Wonderful walking paths with plentiful benches to take a break or just soak in the beauty. This is truly a gem in the city. Highly recommended if in the area and have some time to relax.
This park is super close from where I leave. I go there for walks almost everyday. It's well managed and clean. The walking trail has got trees on either side which is great during summer heat. If you are lucky enough, you might even see deer grazing

We attended the pop-up art festival today, there were so many talented artists on display, the art work, jewelry vendors along with the leather vendors, food etc... Were a welcome surprise! We purchased some icecream pottery bowls from the Art Leagu
I only went to the playground. Which was nice to be a small neighborhood park. Everything was clean and well well kept. There is not a lot of shade at the actual playground area. I have a toddler who is 3 and everything was so hot she couldn't enjoy
We love putting in our kayaks here and enjoying the river. Wish you had a proper launch however. Parking is easy. This gem of a park has a lot to offer. Explore the trails by foot or by bike.
Big fan of this place. Fishers come here, and the path around the pond is paved. It's a mostly clean and well maintained park. I walk the dog here at least once a week in the morning walks. Recommend for nice short walks. I realize my dog is in the
When the Civil War started and the Union took Alexandria many escaped slaves, called Contraband, poured into the city to escape their former masters. This overcrowding caused a high mortality rate. The soldiers seized a undeveloped plot of land and
Good atmosphere. Excellent service. Very clean bathroom which is unfortunately rare for Ethiopian restaurants in the area. The food was authentic and presentation was wonderful. One last thing, there wasnt the usual strong spicy aroma in the restaur

This is my new favorite work out! It was so fun and I really felt the burn. I had a great instructor named Paige who really made the class that much better. Make sure you go and check out a class with her!
I get zen press multiple times a week at this point and oh my god itâs perfect every time. Always super fresh ingredients always super tasty. Iâve literally not had a bad thing here in the months since theyâve been open! You can honestly tell t
The workouts can be as challenging or as laid back as you want them to be, and the coaches are always happy to offer modifications. Members are at all stages in their fitness journey, so youâre sure to find another member to vibe with. The communit
THE BEST authentic Italian food we've ever ate. We visited last July and had to go back. The food is AMAZING, the portions are huge, and the service is like no other. A small place tucked away in Alexandria, VA but they have a huge welcoming presence
The lively and never disappointing farmers market in the King St Square on Saturdays is the oldest farmers market in the United States. #facts A few blocks away down the cobblestone streets is the waterfront that overlooks the Potomac and gives view
Definitely one of my favorite nature centers in the area just because the staff is so knowledgeable and clearly excited to be there. We visited for "meet and greet" and got to pet a turtle. The facility is spacious and they even have a small kids cor
As stated in my previous review, I was determined to visit this restaurant and give it a try because of the owner's hospitable nature. I convinced my friend to accompany me for lunch and we were impressed with the service - the owner checked on us m
