Lovely parks and walks that just got renovated. Great for families and pets, to picnic as well. Plenty of restaurants close by. Still some construction sites are not done which is a bit of a drag. If youre lucky, you can see Airforce One on the tarmac of Andrews Airbase on the other bank of the water.

WONDERFUL!! I was not able to take pics due to battery struggles. Great for the following: Boating, fishing, exercising, First date, family times, quiet personal time, dog walking, pack a lunch and grab a blanket and a great Book, and relax!! There are Restaurants and simply a gorgeous view. Beautiful Nature scene. In essence, you will love it. Parking is not free- pay via Park Mobile App. Enjoy!!

Very gorgeous views and clean park. Nice walk along the waterfront but stores and restaurants werent open yet due to the pandemic.Lots of street metered parking that was currently free due to Co-Vid but we got a meter maid who gave a $40 ticket.

It was a nice family day out yesterday at the Waterfront Park. Most people were wearing masks, maintaining social distancing. We had lunch with the view of the Marina.

It was nice to walk down, couldnt see too much, was there at night time.Enjoyed it so much, even on my sorry trip, came have during the, day, it was much more busier, people walking down the path, kids playing in the fields.We even found parking right near by, the scenery by day is just amazing, the bridge which the highway goes over is nice, as you see across the river, MGM, a giant carrousel, which is all lit up at night. You can Raven see top golf across the river.Its a perfect place, just to chill, relax, snap some photos.Nice relaxing place.

So much fun and so much beauty. I love coming here. It can be for a long walk, or just watch the water. Winter and summer, there is a lot of beauty and beautiful view at this location. If yo are local you probably know it, if not, give it a try.

Nice but very small neighborhood park.Yet often or regularly hold the festival as the photo shows. Maintenance nicely and nice location, next to the waterfront, restaurants and art galleries, good place for the sunny weekend or lazy afternoon after work.No parking but who cares. It’s mainly for the neighborhood anyway.

Nice little park with Potomac river views and nice places to hang out. The best part is the nearby restaurants and shops. I went there at night and there are so many I couldnt explore them all that night.Also there is a free trolley that takes you to/from the waterfront or anywhere along Prince street all the way back to the King Street rail station, so that was nice. I walked 25 minutes there from my hotel (Embassy Suites near the rail station), but it was nice taking the trolley back.

This is one of my most favorite spots in Alexandria and Northern Virginia. Not only does it sit on the Potomac River but the surrounding area has so much history to explore. There are plenty of great restaurants to choose from, art galleries, street artists, unique and brand name shops, as well as walking/biking trails. Ive been enjoying this area for over 15 years, its very relaxing and beautiful!!!

Review №66

Park on Lee Street and walk to this lovely and low key park. There are swings, a small playground and lots of open space. The park never seems to be crowded but is much enjoyed by the neighbors. This is a great place to read a book while the children play. Near the end of King St is the Waterfront Park area, lovely old style river boat parked up and lots of places to wander around, drink and get a great view across the Potomac river, well worth a visit.

A great new space in Old Town and perfect to bring the young ones to play for a few before or after dinner when visiting. The Turf Square is great for little ones that want to put regular grass or things in their mouth. Kids can just run around and the views are good.

Review №74

There are so many cute shops, diverse places to eat at, and things to do if you park your car and walk around. If you visit Old Town, youll see a lot of the older buildings that have been preserved! Look up the Apothecary Museum as well for something different to check out.

This whole area of Alexandria is amazing. Its historic, picturesque, homey, and full of restaurants with delicious gourmet food, creameries to die for, treasure-shopping lil stores with gifts and souvenirs like never seen before. Now, parking is a beast, and when found, expensive.

They have renovated the waterfront at the end of King Street. It’s has a lot of open space including tables and chairs laying around. It’s a great spot for a picnic or just sitting around under a tree for people watching. The only downside is there’s no bathroom close by. You’ll have to walk to the torpedo factory for the bathrooms.

Review №87

A beautiful park that is a great addition to the Alexandria waterfront. Plenty of areas to sit and enjoy to view of the water. The only complaint is the City needs to make sure they stay on top of the trash. A lot of people use the park so the trash bins fill up quickly.

Jo
Review №88

This is a great spot for relaxing and taking a break from the city. You can see the Potomac River, planes flying and landing from Reagan Airport, yacht traversing in the Wilson Bridge, people playing volleyball and family having a picnic. Parking here is not easy so I recommended to get here early to get street parking.

Parking is difficult and the size isnt that great. But very peaceful, clean (for a park), and a great time if you bring your own activities. That is unless you just walk the waterfront trail.

The renovations to the southern side of the park over the last year are a vast improvement, the art installation, new sitting areas (which provide better views compared to the north side), benches, grassy lawns, and the extension of the walkway/dock combined make a very nice addition to Old Towns waterfront feel. (Check out the park just before dark.)
