Some work was done to improve it, and now Spring has brought tall grass, flowers, and animals grazing there frequently.
Beautiful place with a nice viewing deck. Plenty of ducks swimming around, even a beaver house, but didn't see a beaver yet. In sunni days, the lake shows beautiful reflections of the trees. Come and see it, take few photos and learn about how wetlands clean our water.
UPDATE - Sparrow Pond is being re-done by Arlington County and they are planning on keeping beavers out of the pond.

Original review >>> Stop by early in the morning and you might catch a glimpse of the beavers hard at work. Many species of birds visit as well. FYI - The picture showing muddy water in Four Mile Run (urban stream after a storm) was not taken at Sparrow Pond. Sparrow Pond is approximately 350 yards to the east and it does not interact with water from Four Mile Run.

A nice spot to stop along the trail. A good sized deck where you can take a break and watch the birds in the pond.
