This is a relatively new building/facility and it is SO nice! Love the pickleball courts. Great drop-in play. Huge fan!

Wonderful clean community center where anyone can play! They had basketballs so you could use the indoor court and rooms to rent (look like a busy Saturday with alewl the rooms booked for parties and events). We came for the playground which was amazing for both my 4 and 9 year old. Both loved the long slide with the rock climbing wall and the sandbox was full of buddies to play with. Great trails to walk around!
Beautiful facility with an indoor track

Beautiful Arlington County Parks & Rec. facility with covered parking garage that’s free if you’re out within 4 hours (Similar to Arlington Mill CC)… just not overnight. Senior programs, a child daycare program, large gymnasium with elevated indoor track weightlifting/fitness room, and the meeting space for birthday parties is wonderful, with a nice kitchenette. Plenty of WiFi here, and you can process payments for other Parks & Rec programs in-person here. I’ve been in the conference rooms for meetings, and it’s a great space, thought if you have multiple groups having simultaneous conversations, and the rooms can be noisy. The finish on the inside is beautiful aesthetic rustic in form, but very hi-tech in function

Outside, there's a great playground for kids, small fields, basketball/pickleball courts, and ADA-accessible trails, plus a connection to the Lubber Run trail and amphitheater, so it's easy to go on a hike, play basketball, and eat birthday cake here in one trip. This is a well-though-out space with loads of parking. I personally have been on several walks in the parks with my partner, and played catch with my kids outside. The playground had different areas for kids of different ages and skillsets – perfect place for your kids to play while you check out the Farmers Market at Barrett Elem.

Big community center with various courts. Plenty of pickelball courts and one basketball court between them. Also a kids section with slides and rock climbing and more. Inside the building, there are people playing volleyball and running and walking on the track that wrap around the courts on the second floor. Those volleyball courts can be transformed to basketball courts. Parking is very convenient, being free up to 4 hours

This was our first visit to the inside of this facility.

The inside is a beautiful, modern facility with meeting rooms, courts, and a modern gym. There is plentiful, below-ground parking at a reasonable hourly rate. I really enjoy taking my kids to the outdoor playground with it's imaginative structures and plentiful seating for grownups. The hill slides and climbing area are great fun. Best of all, you can walk in from the lubber run nature area right next door, so you can enjoy a walk by the creek and a break at the playground.

The rock climbing hill and slides were pretty unique. All my kiddos just under 2 and up to 3 we're able to climb up the rock hill. Other cool features as well. I would recommend going on a shady day. Not a lot of shade. Otherwise a great park!!

Beautiful space with plenty of natural light. Lovely wood work too. Greatly needed public space.
