Always a fantastic place to walk around and see what local gardeners have worked so hard on. This is a gem of the community. Anytime we come across a gardener at their plot, they’re always excited to share what it growing and how their plants came to be.

This playground is always a hit. The two adjacent playgrounds will entertain all ages. The big kids’ play structure is tall and will tire ‘em out while the swings and sandbox offer some chill time.

Some parts of shaded and a pergola offers a respite from the sun. Cooler air and shorter days have made this playground all the better.

The parking lot is small but I’ve never had problems finding a spot. There is also plenty of street parking next to the parking lot.

A running/ walking track circles an open field often used for soccer. There is an adult outdoor exercise area on the far side of the field.

Potomac Regional Overlook park is a off Military Rd, on Marcy Rd. It looks like a residential neighborhood but opens to a county maintained park.
Pass the basketball and tennis courts up a short winding road that splits and forks to the right. A small tot playground and parking lot are at the top of the loop.

Several walking trails split from a main trail. Heritage signs along the way explain a small portion of the land’s history. Most trails are easy for anyone. There’s a trail that along the creek. It’s hard to cross depending on the time of year. But there are several places to play in the water. Dog friendly.

Two great playgrounds and outdoor workout area. Basketball court. Good parking. Clean pUblic restrooms accessible outdoors for folks using the parks.

Inside: Bright and well lit. The rec center hosts many Alexandria City kid classes. Plenty of seating for parents to watch. Very clean facility.
