Take your wiggleworm on a kids scavenger hunt through historic Old Town Alexandria. You pick up your map at the Christmas Attic, located at 125 S. Union Street. There are two versions- George Washington and John Carlyle.

My kids are nuts about the train themed play structure and also enjoyed the variety of slides available. The size of the slides and climbing equipment mean that this playground is probably best geared toward younger kids. If you have mixed age kids, there is ample green space for frisbee or other active games right next to the playground.

If it weren’t for the lack of restroom facilities of any kind, this would be my new favorite place. Conveniently located near Kings Highway and not far from Lee District park, this is 14 acres of woodsy, attractive park land. The playground is adorable, and my toddler loved it because, in addition to the high slides and the climbers for bigger kids, it had some low steps and a small slide that were just right for him. There are a couple of high-ish dropoffs you’ll want to watch if you do this park with a toddler, but they are easy to guard from the ground and there are no tight corners to navigate if you want to supervise from the top.
