HG Architects is the prime consultant for the master planning and design of this 33-acre urban park located on the Potomac River in Crystal City.

Long Bridge Park has transformed the former industrial site squeezed between an interstate, a major rail corridor and under two flight paths into an amazing community resource for both recreation and environmentally sensitive development. In doing so Arlington has created a new gateway that shows that public use and nature can be returned to even the most unlikely urban locations.

This first 20 acre phase of Long Bridge Park features;

• The Esplanade – a half mile long raised shared path with Cherry trees, seating and access for everyone to enjoy strolling, bike riding, watching sports, planes, trains or birds.
• The Overlook – over 35 feet high hill providing 360 degree views of the park, Roaches Run and the surrounding Washington DC landmarks.
• The Rain Garden – a three quarter acre garden that slows and cleans stormwater runoff playing its part in protecting Roaches Run, the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay.
• The Trellis – shaded walk with spectator seating, restrooms, storage and featuring the “Wave Arbor” artwork by Doug Hollis.
• The Fields – 3 state-of-the-art playing fields with lighting for intensive year round multi-use to nurture homegrown talent and bring world-class events to the area.
• Sun Lawns – sweeping open grassed areas for picnicking and other informal passive uses.
