Photos: Long Bridge Park in Arlington, Virginia

Arlington, Virginia's new Long Bridge Park features some of the best soccer pitches in the D.C. area and offers visitors views of the monuments across the Potomac River as well as the passenger and freight rail trains passing by and the planes taking off and landing at National Airport.

The park reclaimed a major brownfield into an environmentally friendly green space ideal for bicyclists, pedestrians and families on a picnic.
