Dixon W. Holman Park

Dixon W. Holman Park is gorgeous park located in North Arlington.  While the Arlington Parks Department does list this as having a playground, I think it may be a bit of a stretch.  Luckily, there were lots of fun things to do besides play on a playground.

Holman Park is tucked back in a neighborhood at a dead end.  It is a beautiful combination of manicured flowers and wild, natural environment.  There are winding trails to explore and wildlife, plant life, and insects to find.  The signs along the trail help you identify (or learn) the flora and fauna found in the park.  This park is also a monarch waystation (like the butterfly park at Wimbledon) where butterflies can stop and rest during their migration.  All along the trail, there are shaded nooks to sit and rest.  

Look at all of the things you can see here!  Perfect for a nature hunt!

Beautiful walking trails

The playground does have two baby swings and two regular ones, a large stack of logs with handles to climb up on, and a crescent shaped climbing structure.  The playground alone won't hold children's attention for long, but the park itself is worth a trip.

Playground

While Dixon Holman park doesn't have the most amazing playground in the city, it is a little oasis of natural beauty with plenty of room to run and stretch your legs.
