This is a beautiful, well-maintained park that offers a great view of the Potomac and the Mount Vernon pier on the Mount Vernon property. Facilities offer adequate parking, bathrooms and picnic tables. This is a great place to park to run or bike on the Mount Vernon Trail. There are fitness stations immediately to the east of this park on the Trail. There are picnic tables with good shade available and a fairly large open field to let your pet(s) run around. There aren't any bbq piits and I am not sure about the regulations on grilling activities at this park. Picnics here would be ideal for smaller groups, but larger groups should consider the Fort Hunt Park just a short distance away.
