We took our babies here for the first time on 4/7/21. I would probably give it 5 stars but to be fair we did not see a lot of the park and the nature center itself was closed. It was also very crowded with people. To be expected based on where the park is located. The main trails here are paved so it's stroller friendly. Most of the trails are very close to the river that runs through the area. This was a great place to walk and there is an awesome playground with a big sand pit that our kids loved. We will surely go back and visit and try to get inside the nature center.

Great nature hike by a stream. Saw this Northern Virginia water snake. We ate lunch at the amphitheater. Very quiet. Nature center is closed on Mondays.

Beautiful area that's great to bike, walk, and walk a pet on. The facilities need a little bit of TLC but it doesn't detract from mother nature. Do watch for poison ivy if you decide to go off trail.

All of Arlington's parks are great. Arlington works hard so every citizen has a place to walk to. Long Branch has something for everyone, parking for people trying to get on the trail, dog park, pond, informational signs, programs, kids area, animals, trails, picnic pavilion, playground around the corner, tall trees, shade, stream, rocks etc. Long Branch connects to a larger greenway that winds through Arlington, situated near Columbia Pike it connects to Carlin Springs and North Arlington. It offers a fast moving bike access and has hilly turning foot paths as well. Safety should always be on one's mind, but it is a well traveled section that feels safe.

We did a Butterfly walk here for toddlers and it was a blast. There is a creek (your kids will want to go in. Their clothes will smell awful afterwards) and there is a cool spot with all sort of musical mushrooms they can play.
