What’s in a name? A lot when you are identifying the County’s newest and most comprehensive park. The community’s vision is to transform the North Tract into a distinctive showplace of environmentally sound redevelopment, with a central expanse of attractive public green spaces and high-quality indoor and outdoor recreation facilities that are accessible to all Arlingtonians. Built on 28-acres, the new facilities will include something for everyone:
- Trails to walk, run bike or skate with spectacular views of Washington D.C., Crystal City, the Pentagon, and Roaches Run Wildfowl Sanctuary;
- Four full-size synthetic grass fields with lighting to nurture homegrown talent and bring world-class events to the area;
- Public event area to build community and strengthen connections;
- Fifty meter pool for lap swimming, classes, and competitions to keep Arlingtonians fit and to bring top swimmers to the area;
- Leisure and therapy pool(s) for fun, play, teaching, therapy and exercise so that all residents, no matter their abilities or interest will benefit;
- Exercise rooms with free weights, cardiovascular equipment, and classes to enhance the health and fitness of the community.
