Sports and Recreation
Douglas Park and all of Arlington is a great place to get around by walking or by bike. More than one hundred miles of multi-use trails, on-street bike lanes, and designated bike routes make it easy for pedestrians and cyclists to get where they need to go. The house is 1 block away from the WOD Bike trail.
Additionally, Arlington has numerous Public Tennis Courts, Soccer Fields and Public Pools. The County has a strong initiative in public health and fitness.
The Barcroft Sports Complex is just around the corner from the Douglas Park rental house, where there are classes for kids, adults. There are several fitness rooms with cardio equipment and weights. Around the complex there is a playground, tennis courts, a bike shop, several baseball diamonds and a soccer field. A leg of the bike trail continues through here as well.
