Potomac Yard Park

Picking a favorite park in Alexandria would be one tough cookie.    Jones Point Park, Founders, Fort Ward, Oronoco Bay, King Street Gardens, Cameron Run, Windmill, the African-American Heritage, they’re all great in their own way.   

We can now add Potomac Yard Park to the list, which will have its Grand Opening tomorrow.  The fences came down on Wednesday so we took a first look this morning.

The 21-acre park features seven new interpretive markers.  I love this one with the map and history of paths and roads.
