    Nice neighborhood play ground. Not big but next open fields that kids can run around. Also multiple picnic tables around the park. Lots of climbing structures. Easy street parking.

    Fun structures and area for kids to explore. Big slide, climbing structure, wooden ropes course, spider swing and merry-go-round! Bonus is that Swings coffee isn't far away, great to grab a coffee to enjoy while the kids play.

    I only went to the playground. Which was nice to be a small neighborhood park. Everything was clean and well well kept. There is not a lot of shade at the actual playground area. I have a toddler who is 3 and everything was so hot she couldn't enjoy it. Nevertheless the playground was exceptional

    Great baseball field and very well maintained. Only draw back is there's a dog park located right next to big simpson field and it really stunk last night. Maybe this isn't normal and was to be cleaned up soon but it was awful.

    Visited the dog park here with my pooches. A mix of grass on the hill and gravel at the flat land--enough for pooches to run around on either wherever they are comfortable. Difficult to keep an eye on them when you on the grass just because of the slope. All dogs/owners we have met so far have been very respectful and well behaved. They have pools for the dogs to lay in on hot days and plenty of water access. Make sure to bring your own poop bags!

    Friendly place, but poorly maintained (so, play at your own risk). Public bathroom for the baseball and soccer fields are available 24/7 year-round; a huge advantage over nearby Shirlington dog park in Arlington. The City has put off much needed renovation and nearly all maintenance, waiting until Pulte Homes puts the finishing touches on a nearby dog park that was required under their development permit for condos across the street. Now more than two years overdue, the consequences for Simpson dog park are showing. Since Simpson dog park is built on top of debris from the collapsed Monroe Ave bridge, over-use of the dog park has killed all if the grass that held a protective layer of dirt in place. Wet weather turns the park into a muddy cesspool. The debris is increasingly exposed and increasingly becoming a hazard to dogs in the park. The picture is of a piece of metal debris that my dog got caught between her toes recently. Understandably, fewer and fewer people use the park. Once a jewell in Alexandria's crown, this dog park is best avoided nowadays. ... unless there's nowhere else to go. (Actually, there isn't. Just brace yourself before you come and plan to bathe the dog upon returning home.)

    Just stumbled on this park in the new neighborhood. Well lit and open park. The park is flat with plenty of running space, and towards the back is an inclined/terraced earth level that levels off to be flat. Was perfect for our 16 yr old husky mix to get his exercise on easy terrain. The other owners we encountered that day were nice and all had younger dogs that were really enjoying themselves playing and running the park together. Will go back again.

    Nice field, bathrooms close at dark so plan accordingly for night games.

    This is one of my favorite parks to bring my dog. The entire park is well maintained and all the people you bump into seem happy and friendly. Even when they shut off the pipes for water in the winter someone does their part in keeping water jugs full for the dogs. The fields for soccer and baseball are standard and well maintained as well. No brainer to swing by for a reliable friendly jaunt outside. Also, it is across from a great coffee shop!

    Great park in Alexandria. They are working on the dog park but not much happening. Kinda disappointed it's taking so long but hey, it's the government for yah. Slow to do anything of value, quick to take your money!

    Clean and spacious. Parking can be difficult to find during day, but had no issues in the morning.
