Several parks are near Merrifield
Merrifield is home to several outdoor recreational areas, including Penny Lane Park, an urban-style park in the Mosaic District that offers outdoor seating, fire pits and foosball. If you’re looking for something a little more rustic, head over to Armistead Park, a small but well-used space that is popular for walking pets. There are several other parks peppered throughout the neighborhood and Hannah Hutton with the Fairfax County Park Authority notes that all county park amenities are available to anyone regardless of residence. “Fairfax County Park Authority has 420 parks and 325 miles of trails,” she says.

D.C. and the Capital Beltway are accessible
