Explore a Park: Spring Lane Park, a green respite in Bailey’s Crossroads

This article is part of our series on parks in the Annandale/Mason District area. Recent articles covered Poe Terrace Park and Pine Ridge Park in Annandale.  

The 5.2-acre Spring Lane Park is located at 3400 Carlyn Hill Drive in Bailey’s Crossroads close to Columbia Pike and the Arlington County border.

It’s surrounded by Spring Lane, Robinwood Lane, the Carlyn Hill Apartments, the Rosedale Manor Apartments, and the Spring Lane Townhomes.

Features: There is a playground, one full basketball court, a half-size basketball court, a pickleball/tennis court, futsal court, picnic tables, a paved trail, and open space.

Improvements: The Fairfax County Park Authority installed a new playground in early 2020, with swings, as well as structures for climbing, slides, a seesaw, and other elements. The $250,000 project was funded by a park bond approved by voters in 2016.
