Old Town Spotlight: Oronoco Park

Oronoco Park is one of Old Town’s most versatile outdoor spaces. Nestled between Pendleton and Madison streets, it’s a local favorite for everything from a quick walk to a long jog or bicycle ride.

A Perfect Place to Pass the Time

You’ll love the vibrant leafy trees and soft green grass that stretch for miles.  And because this park falls right along the waterfront, it manages to stay a little cooler on hot summer days. Make the most of your trip by finding a place on the sprawling lawn to share a picnic with friends and family.

Stroll on Over to the Rowing Facility

One of the neatest features of Oronoco Bay Park is it’s proximity to the Alexandria Rowing Facility. High school rowing teams make this their home base. On any given day you might spot young sweepers and scullers practicing maneuvers on the water.

Stop by the park in June to participate in the annual Red Cross Waterfront Festival and Fundraiser. You’ll be treated to views of tall ships sailing on the bay; enjoy live music, arts, and crafts; and if you stay into the night, you’ll get to watch a brilliant fireworks show!
