    The dog park here is phenomenal. Plenty of space, plenty of seating, some shelter from rain, lots of tennis balls, and plastic bags are available. I wish we lived closer!

    Beautiful wood fencing and benches (as you might expect in North Arlington), but the dusty gravel run area is nothing special.

    This is a small park surrounded by residential houses leading to a trail. If you love to walk and has a little time to do so, this is a nice place to do it. I sometimes come here to while away some time, sitting in the car with your thoughts, have your lunch in silence or just be at peace with nature.

    Decent dog park, although the pea gravel/dirt ground is extremely dusty. If you have a dog that likes to roll around on the ground be aware that they'll probably need a bath afterward. Bags are provided, there's a water source for the dogs, and benches and picnic tables for the people to sit. It seems well maintained with a good amount of info available at the bulletin board. It doesn't seem to have a separate area for large and small dogs, but rather one large area.

    The park was nice. We were looking forward to some historical site seeing. About the only thing left are the redoubt mounds.

    A great large space for a group of rambunctious young boys to play football with their dads.

    For adults, it is interesting for 15 minutes. There is an attached playground for kids.

    Fort Ethan Allen is collocated with the Madison Community center in north Arlington. Many redoubts of the fort are decently preserved however part of the fort has been demolished and replaced by Old Glebe Road. Most interesting about Fort Ethan Allen are the two preserved "bombproofs" that are covered in vegetation. Definitely worth stopping by if you're into history and driving through the neighborhood!

    Our Northern Virginia Table Tennis Club is hosted by the Madison Center in the middle of Fort Ethan Allen Park. Also there is a very good dog park adjacent to the Madison Center in the park. Plenty of parking for everything. This facility must have the best maintenance for any public building I've ever seen. It is always shiny clean in the halls and the bathrooms and the staff does an excellent job

    They have a 3D model of the fort and they have a connon. You can even still see the fort structure. They have a lot of information.
