About James Marx All Veterans Park in Alexandria

All Veterans' Park, located in Alexandria, Virginia, is a public green space dedicated to honoring military veterans. The park is situated near the intersection of Pickett Street and Holmes Run Parkway in the West End area of Alexandria. It forms part of a linear stretch of parks along the Holmes Run Stream.

The park features a memorial to veterans, serving as a place of reflection and remembrance. A multi-use trail meanders through the park, paralleling Holmes Run on the northern edge. This trail provides opportunities for walking, jogging, and cycling, connecting to the broader Holmes Run trail system.

One of the park's notable features is an observation deck built on the bank of Holmes Run, offering views of the surrounding natural area, including the Bi-Centennial Tree across the stream. The park also includes a dog exercise area that runs parallel to Pickett Street, providing a space for local pet owners.

In 1994, the City Council renamed the park to James H. Marx All Veterans Memorial Park, further emphasizing its commemorative purpose. The park has been adopted by Alexandria Firefighters Inc., demonstrating community involvement in its maintenance and care.

All Veterans' Park serves as both a recreational space and a site of historical significance, blending natural beauty with civic remembrance in the heart of Alexandria.
