Beverly Park
The Equipment
There are two main play structures. The first is in bright yellow and blue is all about climbing. There’s a cargo net, monkey bars, climbers, zip line slider, balance jumper along with a trio of different sized portable Little Tikes brand slides. The second structure set in primary colors has 4 slides (spiral, covered and two double ones). There are ladders, a corkscrew climber, mini rock climbing wall, cargo chain and suspension bridge. Below the structure is an attached playhouse. Adjacent to this structure is a fire truck kids can ride and steer along with a double see saw. A swing set includes 1 bucket, 1 high back infant seat and 2 regular swings. A large sandbox is full of mainly toy bulldozers and a small playhouse. I recommend bringing a bucket and shovel. There is an open court surface full of ride on and push toys, two pint sized basketball hoops and a tot sized plastic picnic table. The playground is a mulch surface while the rest of the park is grassy.
The Scene
Located in the Beverly Hills neighborhood, this is one of my favorite parks in the City of Alexandria. Seating in the form of benches or picnic tables, including one table under a small shelter and trash cans line the park. There is adequate space to run and play. Steps lead down to the park. While it is not fenced in, the area does not pose a safety concern. Street parking in the neighborhood is not an issue.
