Great Falls Grange Park
The Equipment
This park features two metal, play structures with a mulch and some rubber-padding ground surface. The first extra-large play structure is enormous and has many features including multiple fireman poles, monkey bars, one swervy tunnel slide, two more slides and a triple slide. It also has a large plastic rock wall to climb to the top of the structure. The second play structure has multiple steering wheels, a bouncy bridge and crawl tunnel. Both play structures indicate that they are for ages 5-12 year olds. Besides two play structures this playground has four sling swings and four bucket swings as well as a plastic tire swing that seats at least 4 kids at one time. Another park highlight is the large merry-go-round, two spring rider dinosaurs and a clubhouse with benches and table.
The Scene
This playground is located next to the Great Falls Library at the intersection of Georgetown Pike and Walker Rd. in downtown Great Falls, VA. A gravel trail leads you from the small parking lot to the playground. This park is partial shade with plenty of benches and picnic table around the perimeter. This park also has a soccer and baseball field. There is no drinking fountain so BYOB. There is a picnic pavilion with two charcoal grills to accommodate large groups. There is additional parking at the Great Falls Library with a short walk on path.
Age Recommendation
5 to 12 years old; although younger siblings may be able to tag along.
Restrooms
wheelchair assessable Port-a-Potty.
