What if you’re looking for a home in Arlington and don’t know where the best spots to enjoy the coming fall are? A good first step is to explore the ArlingtonVA.US website. This terrific resource can give you information on just about everything Arlington has to offer.

Check out its Arlington County Parks and Community Centers List for an exhaustive list of parks, including their specific amenities and a link to Google Map Directions for the area. In any given Arlington neighbourhood, there are small parks and playgrounds

Google Maps can also be used to get directions to parks and outdoor areas by itself.

If you’re looking for something a little more in the way of the wild, try one of Arlington’s nature centers, which feature information, exhibits and programs designed to educate people about natural and cultural history. Any one of these can be a pleasant day’s outing for the entire family.

The mighty Potomac is a big draw for swimmers, boaters, fishermen and people who just like to watch the river roll by on its way to Chesapeake Bay. There are many businesses and services that can outfit you, take you on tours and tell you more about this river’s history. Parks abound along its banks. Find out more about the Potomac, including swimming safety, in the link.

Into something a little more competitive? Arlington has plenty of County-sponsored sports to participate in, including ball hockey, basketball, dodgeball, football, ice hockey, kickball, rugby, soccer, softball, tennis, ultimate and volleyball. Many of the fall sports are soon registering players.
