Dark Star Park 1655 Fort Myer Drive, Arlington, VA 22209

"Cute little pocket park."

"Live in the area, but never actually walked around until today and it’s a decent small park. There’s water features near the huge cement balls so that’s relaxing. It’s a super small park but has this peaceful vibe. They say at 9:32AM EST on August 1st is the best time to experience shadows created by the poles align with shadow patterns on the ground. Ideally, you’ll need decent weather for that to take place. I might go check it out this year to see myself. Anyway, if you want some history and cement art work style park experience check out this park."

"Not a very big park at all, it is actually more of a traffic island. This is the portion of the park with the sculptures which capture their shadows on August 1 at 0932 sharp. The traffic here is heavy, so you will need to take care. The park on the main block is more spacious and has the tunnel. The park is close to some areas to eat and the Rosslyn Metro Station. Overall, strange, but easily missed if you don't know what you're looking."

"Pretty relaxing and small park with some really cool and interesting ball statues to look at and take pictures with! Not too very crowded so it’s a nice getaway spot. Right across the Freedom Park and not too far from the Abraham Lincoln Memorial so it’s worth a shot to stop by if you’re headed that way!"
