Parques en Alexandria

Parks & Green Spaces

Alexandria’s park system spans from the historic Potomac riverfront to inland wildlife sanctuaries. This collection includes Jones Point Park, home to the 1855 Jones Point Lighthouse and the original District of Columbia boundary stones. Visit the Alexandria African American Heritage Park to see commemorative sculptures on a 19th-century cemetery site, or explore the 50-acre marshlands of Dora Kelley Nature Park. From the urban design of King Street Gardens to the expansive trails at Potomac Yard, these spaces highlight the city's preservation of both natural habitats and local history.
