Tuckahoe Park

My 8 year old had good fun here. My 11 year old boy didn’t as much to do. Overall, this is a small playground. You can sit on the bench and see it all easily. Great for about 1 hours of playtime. Recommend!

nothing special go somewhere else

This is for kids 4+ though there are baby swings. It has a very long slide, and some other cool things. It’s kind of hidden. So glad we found it. We love taking our son and his friends here.

this park is a BIG KID PARK! it looks really great for big kids, but there is nothing for little kids, at all, don’t even bring them here. The equipment is really high up. It is made to look like a fort and there is a really huge tunnel slide that big kids are sure to love. It is next to a school, but it is not a school park, it is clearly labeled as an Arlington County park, maybe the school kids also play on the equipment, but it is not off limits on a school day, as it’s a county park. I didn’t see any bathrooms, but it is a very shady park.

This is one of my favorite parks. The one thing our family just loves to do is discover new places for us all to play. This park is great on many levels. The playground is fun and has an architecture design that makes it different for the kids. The slide is enclosed and long. There is a tower with a fort type feel. Being wooded makes this park shady and the benches are placed nicely so that you can see the whole playground.
There is a walking path that’s just big enough to teach little ones a little about nature but not too long for them to become bored or tired.
The park is tucked back behind a school and I’m not positive if it’s the school’s only playground or if they just like to take their kids here. I’m from the mid west so I don’t quite understand the public park /​school playground being the same thing. Is this a city thing? If I were a parent to the school there, I’m not sure I would really enjoy my kids playing there during the day. A public park is for anyone, right? I guess I worry about strange adults and the number of kids a teacher has to watch. I guess I picture teachers taking kids to the playgrounds on their property where people don’t really go to except maybe after school hours. Anywho, this brings me to my only complaint which is that this park is not the best place for tiny ones to play when school is in session??? I don’t know if the teachers are used to having kids there that are not part of their school but it makes me somewhat uncomfortable so the one time we ran into this problem we left. It was an after school program and the kids were all older anyways.
Weekends or in the summer is the best time to go here! Just love it!

A decent school park with a nice-​sized playground, swing sets, student gardens, kids’ amphitheater, water fountain, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and playing field. The shady/​woodsy area with trees has picnic tables, but unfortunately is right near traffic on Lee/​Sycamore Streets. Good place for an outdoor party if you stay in the playground area or don’t mind being so close to traffic. The playground is quite large and popular among kids on weekends.
Park hours are sunrise to ½ hour after sunset except on lighted facilities. Tuckahoe Park is about 10 minutes walking distance from the East Falls Church metro station. As you exit the station, turn left and walk straight down Sycamore Street. Park is at the intersection of Lee and Sycamore Streets. You’ll see the sign.
