This review is for the center of the circle on the western end of Arlington Memorial Bridge. It's nearly inaccessible to pedestrians because of the zooming traffic around the circle. While NPS staff keep the grass neat, the location is hostage to the considerable traffic volume which makes approaching the circle very dangerous. There are few sidewalks in the area and there are fewer at.grade crossings which depend on the goodwill of harried drivers from out of town trying to negotiate their first traffic circle.
Nice park... for cars. Never seen park designed like that. Instead of paths for humans it is filled with roads for cars.
Just working an awesome experience for the kids they enjoyed every bit of it.
DC has many beautiful parks and green spaces. This is definitely one of them. You can walk up and down alongside the Potomac river, view the Lincoln Memorial or just lay out on the grass. Just don't feed the geese.
It's a wonderfully cared for space let's keep it clean for all.

Great view of the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument from across the Potomac. The park has a Walking trail/Bike/Running Trail that goes for miles. Great place for summer activities.
