Gravelly Point

Beautiful place to hangout and watch the planes take off/land. It’s right off of a busy running/biking trail with awesome views of DC. Perfect for a date or picnic. Was closed today due to the horrific plane crash last night😢💔

This is my son’s favorite place in the entire world. The plans come often and it’s an amazing view especially if they are landing. We take everyone not form Here out here especially during this time of the year. When they’re taking off, we get a spot near the water, feed the ducks and run as the planes take off overheard. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening and my son makes sure we spend an evening here at least 2/4 times a week. You can do almost anything you want here except fly a kite. We fully plan on having his birthday party here in the fall.

Great spot to watch plane coming in and going out of Reagan National airport. It gets a little crowded but I’d definitely worth it.

Great place to relax and just watch the planes take off or land at DCA. The park is positioned directly in line with a main runway, just across the water from it. There is also a popular walking/running/bicycling trail that runs through it. For those on foot, be careful, as many of the bikes may not slow down. We witnessed a couple of close calls by fast moving bikes that surprise those on foot. There is a big parking lot that is free and even on a busy weekend day like when we visited, it had ample capacity to park one's vehicle.

This is a great spot for plane spotting at Regan airport. On the day of our visit, the planes were landing over Gravelly Point. The kids loved this! There is a paved walking trail, port a potty’s and a ton of space to hang out. The Potomac river is also there to walk down to the water. Such a great park!

Love coming here to watch planes. It’s at the end of the runway, so you don’t get the full takeoff or landing view, but it’s still a cool spot to chill. You get a great look at the bellies of planes flying right overhead. Super relaxing, family-friendly, and there’s plenty of parking—including overflow, so it’s not too much of a hassle. There are porta potties on-site too. Most of the tables fill up quickly, so it’s a good idea to bring a blanket to sit on. It also connects to the Mount Vernon Trail, so you can easily bike or walk there as well.

Great spot, I've been there a few times already, love planes

Gravelly point Arlington, VA 22202, USA - a cool and safe place to watch planes take off and land in the nearby Reagan Airport, almost one plane lands every minute. The thrill and excitement of aircrafts roaring overhead raise goosebumps!! The park provides scenic views of the Potomac River with a nice view of the Washington monument and D.C. skyline. Boating also available - Perfect park for airplane enthusiasts. Kids will enjoy. If your pets are comfortable with loud, harsh sounds, then u can bring them also. On crowded days, parking is a bit difficult. Portable toilets are not clean.(horrible) Suitable for walking, running & cycling, a few food trucks and a great biking path. If it rains, there is no shelter. If u r coming for DC Cherry blossom, don't miss this place!!
