This location has excellent ventilation from it’s off-the-water breeze. It is under an enormous overpass that provides shelter from rain and thunderstorms. The ground is flat, well paved, and well kept, with a large parking lot and clean bathroom house. For those bringing family, there are 2 playgrounds and a frisbee-sized field just steps away, and plenty of fun shopping, cuisine, and activities nearby in Old Town Alexandria.
