    Did I miss the picnic again?

    If we haven't planned it yet, might I suggest doing it at Boeing Park in Arlington/Crystal City?

    Long Bridge Park

    Long Bridge Park
    With more than 36 acres of recreation and open space, Long Bridge Park is a distinctive showplace of environmentally sound redevelopment with attractive public green spaces and outdoor sports and recreation facilities, including the new Long Bridge Aquatics & Fitness Center.

    • The park shares a good sized parking lot with Long Bridge Park and there's plenty of adjacent street parking.
    • Extremely easy access to restroom facilities at Longview Park near the Boeing soccer field and tennis courts.
    • It's a small park at the end of the runway to Reagan Airport, so good for watching planes land. 
    • Great view of the pond at Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary.
    • Shielded from the strong winds by the adjacent Boeing buildings.

    Even better if we can swing permission to use the courtyard at the Boeing headquarters!

    I have a 10 x 10 pop-up canopy tent I can bring, and a portable gas grill.
