★★★★★Featured review by John Thompson

Took the kids to play on the playground while the older kids played soccer on the Boeing field. Shaded playground and spray park for kids and excellent playing fields for soccer.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families combining playground time with youth soccer or field sports. Younger kids enjoy the spray park in warmer months; the shaded structure suits toddlers through early elementary ages. Families expecting swings will need to adjust expectations — the play equipment skews toward climbing and sliding.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Check Arlington County's calendar for spray park operating season before planning a water-play visit.
The turf fields are lit for night games — great for evening outings when daytime heat is high.
🎟️Bathrooms are open year-round and climate-controlled, making off-season visits comfortable.
🚗No swings on-site — bring other outdoor toys if your child relies on them.

In the winter, the park has heated bathrooms and in the summer AC and is very well lit gor night games.The soccer fields are in excellent condition and all are turf. There is a small playground for kids to play that includes a slide but there are no swings and a couple of climbing obstacles. There is ample parking, but it is metered parking for the county, either in the street or dedicated parking lot.
