The 67-acre Potomac Overlook Regional Park is their signature attraction and the residents are not afraid of mounting sundry protests against any planned development. This park is part of Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority which overseas more than 10,000 acres of woodlands, streams, nature reserves, parks, and historic sites in Northern Virginia.

There are several activities for children, including Camp Overlook for those in kindergarten up to the 10th grade.  There are summer outdoor concerts as well as nature trails.

A private Recreation Center and pool can be found next to the park, for which there is always a waiting list.
