The park is three blocks north of the Torpedo Factory Art Center and is near the shops and restaurants of King Street and the marina. It is also within a walking distance from Port Royal Condos.
Founders Park is a beautiful open space for all and is good year-round especially during the spring, summer, and fall. It is very popular among locals and offers lots of relaxing and fun ways to enjoy the outdoors. Here are things to do at Founders Park.
- Take a stroll— you can stroll through the open space, follow the paved trail, and walk along the shore of the Potomac River.
- Enjoy the scenic river— the park offers spectacular views of Old Town Alexandria, Washington, DC, Maryland, and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. From here, you can see National Harbor and MGM Grand Casino & Hotel in Maryland. You can also enjoy watching the sunset in the evening across the water. There are many benches to take in the view.
- Play volleyball–there is a volleyball court with sand right in the middle of the park which is great to play with friends.
