River Legacy Playgrounds

The River Legacy Foundation offers weekly summer nature day camps at its Living Science Center in Arlington, where campers explore wildlife, ecology and environmental science through hands-on STEM activities and trips into the surrounding woods. Half-day sessions (9am-12pm) serve ages 3-5 and full-day sessions (9am-3pm) serve 1st-8th graders, running Monday-Thursday through June and July in small groups.

Powered by GoogleSpend the whole day here, makes you wanna set up a tent and camp even. There's way too much to do there's not enough hours in the day to enjoy it all. From the yellow line trail, to the local artwork embedded into the pavilions, this park has been a staple place my whole life. Last time we went, we saw 2 competing ice cream trucks. The guy that was here first pulled around back of the second guy and they were both blocking cars in spots and BLASTING their jingle music so loud. It was both annoying and hilarious.
Our family recently visited this amazing park, and it was an absolute delight! The unique features like concrete molds of dinosaurs and various animals added a touch of whimsy and excitement for the kids. The playground’s nature-themed design, resembling a tree, beautifully blends play with the natural world, creating a serene yet fun ambiance. As parents of twin nine-year-olds and a four-year-old, we were thrilled to see how much our children enjoyed exploring and playing here. The park’s attention to integrating nature into play areas is not only creative but also educational. It’s a fantastic place for children to learn, play, and appreciate the beauty of nature. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and engaging outdoor experience!
Creative and fun park! Well-maintained. Only problem I saw was a lack of shade. Perhaps awnings on the south side would help. That would help the playground fixtures not to burn your skin.
I love coming here if I want to get some good clean air and a good long walk which is kind of hard to do with a 5 and 6 year old, but we manage! I guess my only complaint would be that I wish there was more than one bathroom because I will not use a porta potty. Maybe it's bad memories from childhood, but they are just the most disgusting thing I've ever been in.
Well maintained park! A lot of tables and chairs and barbecue areas. Trash cans placed all around the trails- big convenience and great to encourage others not to litter :) The playgrounds- big and smaller areas- throughout are really fun. Wear appropriate clothing/sunblock because many of the play structures are not covered.
