Benjamin Banneker Park
The Equipment
The Park features a play structure set primarily over mulch, along with swings (2 regular and 2 bucket) set over sand, and a separate sand area. There is also a horseshoe pit.
The Scene
Located literally across the street from Falls Church City, the Park offers grassy areas for running around and a stream (unfenced) near the swings. For history buffs, the park includes a Boundary Markerof the Original District of Columbia. A paved trail and wooden bridge leads to the W&OD trail, nearby soccer fields and dog park. There are picnic tables set side-by-side under a shade tree. Water fountain, trash and recycling receptacles are available. The park is partially fenced and partially shaded. Parking is on-street (unmetered, but some areas are permit zoned).
