Rivergate City Park

Very nice walking path along Potamax River with a view of Maryland and Washington, DC. Walking path is located on North Virginia side. Contains benches and trees for shade. Nearby is a sailing school. Thus, sailboats were out practicing. Also, within walking is beautiful Old Towne Alexandria with more water sights, restaurants, bars, and other tourists attractions.

Beautiful park right on the Potomac River in North Old Town. Usually pretty quiet, this park has a great mix of walking paths, open grass, and shady spots to sit. Lined with multiple benches and some picnic tables, you can come for a whole day, or just walk through. Views on the water range from National Harbor all the way up to Navy Yard and the Capitol Building. As locals, we come here all the time and always find it enjoyable and relaxing. During heavy rainstorms, the park does get very wet. So just be aware after rain, it will be muddy or even full on flooded.

A volunteer group called The Riverkeepers is here regularly picking up trash that's washed up on the river's edge. The second picture is a windsurfer on the river.

Wonderful park for taking a walk and enjoying the day. Nice benches by the river and a volleyball net. The water wasn't the greatest next to the boardwalk which dropped one star (1/2 if I'd could).
