Chinquapin Park & Forest Park
4.5 (28)park
Forested trails wind along creek bottoms on Alexandria's heights, creating a haven for migratory birds and butterflies.
Description




Holding one of the largest tracts of forested land in Alexandria, the multi-use park extends well beyond its trees. A sizeable community garden attracts numerous butterfly species, including the eastern tiger swallowtail. Nearby, open playing fields adjacent to the woods provide additional ground for wildlife observation.
