A nice little pocket park along the river. Mostly in a residential area. Lots of walkways, lots of bicycles, but there are Pathways for bicycles are not allowed. I only found one way to get in if you are not especially mobile. Its mostly stairs. Union Street has one path that you could consider handicap entrance. The views of the river are nice. And the little playground was getting some use. It generally looks like a place for the locals stroll down and play with their kids, or ride their bikes through the tunnel.

Windmill Hill Park is situated along the river bank within a residential part of town. There is a great view of the river but there is something a little creepy about the place. When I say creepy I mean spooky. Theres a little playground for the kids, which is nice but theres a tunnel there that gave me the willies.

Double rimmed basketball court, 2-3 acre field, playground, few picnic tables, and a steep hill to play and roll down. Watch out for the wooden bridge when wet. Its steep and slippery, especially on a bike. Great park!

Fantastic park with 3 levels of play places and lots of seating for parents. Lots of open space for soccer, frisbee and football.If you little ones, they will love this park!

A very peaceful place to walk and view the scenery.

Nice place to take your kids and dog(s). They have benches around to sit as well as a couple of picnic tables. I don’t recommend eating at the park there are too many flies.

Nice local park in old Town Alexander, small but a nice green, swings, and basket courts, parking is available on the street but tight at times.

I like the park and especially the view. The only downside(which is not the parks fault) is the area has alot of home owners with dogs that Ive seen come over to this park to use the bathroom. Soooo watch your step

Beautiful park that leads to the Wilson bridge.

Cute landscape park on South Union St. Doggie park renovated as well. Rainy day for a walk with Madison, perfect.

Great park.. and even better 2 great boys ( Ben and Nathan) selling fresh squeezed lemonade today...following Covid-19 safety measures too! Thanks boys!

If Windmill Hill Park is the name of the riverside park/walkway Alexandria City is building, then I must say that I love it. Parking sucks, as always, in Old Town, but its worth the trouble if you can stroll along the river on a beautiful day. Benches, easy gravelled walkway, places to picnic, vistas, fishing spots, jettys, restaurants n shops, n lovely gajillion $$ townhouses to admire (n be thankful you dont own when the river floods!) We had a very nice day.

Not to bad a place to park .just have to look a bit. Nice place to walk and small park to relax in .also a 1878 tunnel you can walk through .

Nice place to relax and bring your kids

A great place to spend your Friday with family and friends. Lots of of food options ice cream and beautiful views.

I literally just drove past this park. Google thinks I stayed and had a picnic. Nice.

Tiny park, easy to access and not crowded, great views.

Cute little park with volleyball and playground across from the water and other park.

Enjoy a little breeze during a nice walk by the river.

Nice beautiful place to walk your dogs and enjoy family time. Very clean and well lite and safe.

A wonderful park right on the water, frequently filled with families and dogs. Plenty of open space to play soccer, toss a frisbee, or just sit around and enjoy a beautiful day. There is also a playground, but I cant speak to its quality.The local basketball court also plays host to some fun pickup by the locals, colloquially referred to (by ourselves, at least) as the River Ballerz.

Beautiful views, nice for walking

Good to walk. Not much to choose for eating

Good park but it was much better before the city renovated it. Nice river views but no longer functional as a dog park and they eliminated the dog beach. Alexandria city administration is not effective or honest.

Great little spot for kids near historic downtown

Good volleyball court

Delicious pizza. Size is smaller than expected. Figure 2 pies for 3 people

Always a beautiful time out here for photos

Nice waterfront

Great place to play. ample open space for sports. good area for younger kids to play on playground equipment. basketball court. some picnic tables. expect to pack out trash as there arent a lot available. dog friendly. across the road is a good play area for dogs with access to the Potomac river

One of my favorite parks in Alexandria...the only very big downfall is that there are no restrooms!! It would be 5 stars otherwise!!

We had never actually been in the park til now, but my girls needed some stimulation and waterfront park was just a zoo. Nice jungle gym, slides etc. A few separate play areas, sandbox, rope assisted climb too. Great view for the parents. No restroom but I am guessing its mostly neighborhood kids anyway.

Very nice place. Especially for the kids. Very cool playground close by

Great place to walk, play, kick back or relax. Great atmosphere. Great neighborhood.

Kids just love the tunnel! Its really neat to walk through and has a nice fenced in play structure at the end.

Peaceful place to walk around!

Nice view of the DC waterways, and on a cool sunny Spring/Fall day you can easily walk for a couple of hours

Best park in Alexandria for toddlers. Open space, giant sandbox, great playground... Everything you need to keep a toddler entertained

Absolutely beautiful view of the river while exercising. Clean and safe area. Well populated. Lots of people out enjoying the trails and views.

Very pretty quaint little park nestled into a bluff overlooking the Potomac...very beautiful

Lovely park with beautiful views of the Potomac and a great old railroad tunnel. It was even better before our city renovated it and made it far less functional.

History Train tunnels also sometimes haunted old town of Alexandria.. Amen.. yea travel awesome Alexandria of historical.. Also future amen..

Loved it.

It was beautiful at night agreat place for a photo shoot

Best view of riverIn Old Town

Loved the pier! Just a well rounded park and serene to your soul! Thank I needed that!

Nice little park near downtown Alexandria.

Such a beautiful park with a little bit of everything for everyone. Sand volleyball, big and little kid playgrounds, stunning views, a waterfront dog park, basketball court and a hill great for sledding. The one down side is there is no bathroom but local tip, the Safeway nearby does have one for shoppers to use.

I love this park. You can bicycle skate take the kids to the playground bring your dog out to play play basketball play volleyball and its plenty of outdoor space

Clean, pleasant, and friendly place

Good dog park across the street. Nice view of the water. Ill be coming back

Beautiful Park with a field and a volleyball set!

Nice park with a view to the National harbor.

I love to just walk around this park and all of the parks on the Old Town Waterfront.

Its beautiful for a small playground. Sand, Swings,slides, Rope climbing for kids etc.Setback: I had 4 kids with me,Ages 3-4yrs. Imagine yourself with children in a playground, Where theres no Bathroom

Beautiful locale, so peaceful and serene! Great views, and a playground for children!

This public park has a basketball court, volleyball and childrens play area. Also has an area for dogs, scenic views of the Potomac River, National Harbor, and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Super place to come and Social Distance

Nice playground. Big open field and even better now with the waterfront ares being open.

Gorgeous views and theres a small park for kids near by

I had a wonderful time watching my granddaughter practicing .

Beautiful scenery, well kept grounds and a great place to walk the dogs.

Good space for a rest or play. Big fields. Large playground with a good range of equipment. Good for older toddlers and up. Nice breezes from the river.

Lovely place for kids

Very helpful staff, we got just what we wanted

Enjoyed the public stargazing on a clear night.

Very nice!!! Beautiful views!!

Beautifull seaport.

Playground is nice and there is plenty of room for dogs. The view was nicer prior to the construction at the water.

Great

Great for the kids

Nice and peaceful place!

One of the hidden gems of Alexandria, this playground/park has a fenced in, shaded play area with a variety of structures, a sand pit, swings, a sand volleyball court, and even a rope climbing wall. Parking is on the street and free. Truly relaxing to spend a few hours in the shade watching your small children run around in a safe and interesting location, with the Potomac River a beautiful view in the background.

Peaceful and quiet, great place for Photoshoot

I spent many days at this playground as my daughter was growing up

Great park by the river. Ball courts, play ground, Green space.

My family and I really enjoyed this park when we were on vacation

Very nice urban development

Great family friendly park, walking trail, bike path, lots of benches and trees if it gets too hot. Also lots of near by restaurants.

Dont miss the tunnel under the hill from uptown. Not sure if it was once a train tunnel, but has great light and sound for photo/audio shoots.

Great play area for the kids

Great park, they have a sandbox that is well maintained and a good field for flying kites right on the water front.

Very nice playground and park with a great view of the Potomac. Only downside, it can get crowded on a nice warm day.

Great Park with lots of space to run around.

Gorgeous park, has a great sand volleyball court, basketball courts, a large grass field, and a nice playground for kids

A nice place for a photo walk. The tunnel is best viewed at night.

Great place for photo op and walk around. Just dont look too close at the dirty water

Great park, but very little shaded areas

Great park, amazing views, fun for little ones, plenty of open space for play.

I like the improvements that have been made to this park over the years

Nice park with a good view of the Potomac River

Keeps the kids entertained with a million dollar view for adults.

Nice park overlooking the river, but no shade.

If this park had toilets it would be the best park in old town!

Simple park, but good views of the rivet.

Love this park!

History feels alive

Nice place to relax and go for a walk

Calm by the water

Good for the kiddies
