Donaldson Run Park

The beauty of nature. Perfect for a morning run. With your family, even your dog. And the view of the Potomac river will set you on a good mood for the day.

Amazing place to get away in nature on their vast amount of nature trails!

This is a great park with a nice challenging hike that has many fun features - and it's right here in Arlington. Definitely a great activity on a nice day!

Hidden gem of a hike. Recommend hiking all the way down to the Potomac and taking that all the way down to Rosslyn via the Potomac trail if you have time. A bit challenging, but a lot of fun.

Lovely walking trail with several stream crossings. It can get a bit muddy and slippery. Great place to walk your dog—mine loved it. However there are a lot of off-leash dogs. We were there for an hour, and I saw at least seven dogs off leash. People with dogs made uncomfortable by off-leash dogs running up to them may want to avoid.

Advanced trail with several stream crossings and steep inclines. Worth it for the view of the Potomac.

Very nice, secluded trail by the water. Love this one.

As to some of the qustions , they do not have swings but a newly updated slide and play area for children. And they are working on the new tennis courts and the new basketball court among other things its a great plce to hike around wear some good hiking boots

Great hiking trail. Make sure to use the heritage trail on the left to get to the waterfall otherwise you have to climb down on rocks.

Total hidden gem in Arlington. It can be technical at times. Maybe not the best hike for young kids. There is a lot of crossing streams. Would recommend boots or shoes with a Gore Tex liners.

Love hiking here. Super accessable and easy to come out even if it's just to kill a little time and walk along the creek. Plenty of adventure for all ages.

Good trail for a little hike. Lots of rock scramble and decent view. A bit too many people here but its covid.

So much fun but not for everyone. Lots of up and down plus rocks. I watched people run in places I wouldn't but they made it lol! **Walking trail**

I loved the Trail. There's a water stream across Trail which brings nice scenic beauty to the trail.

Usually empty. The trail entrance is hard to find. Plenty of street parking always available.

Beautiful, easy walking trails in any season.

Great hiking with kids. Fishing is great as well, huge catfish

Great park with challenging trails in the heart of Arlington, next to DC.

Good walking trails especially with pets. Tennis courts.

Great local resource to enjoy walks with the dog and communing with nature.
