New: Veterans Park at Ball’s Bluff, the town’s first park with direct access to the Potomac River, opened Sept. 30. It has a road down to the river with parking and a launch for canoes, kayaks and other craft without gas motors, new trails linked to the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, and a trail parking area. A picnic pavilion opens in the spring. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily for now and will change with the seasons. At Raflo Park, five new ArtsPARKs sculptures by local artists went up along the walking trail this month and stay through June 2028.

The W&OD Trail and the Leesburg bike network

The W&OD Trail is a paved, 45-mile path for walking, running, biking and skating, built on the bed of the old Washington and Old Dominion Railroad. It runs from Alexandria through Leesburg to Purcellville, and NOVA Parks owns and runs it. In town you can join it at Foxridge, Georgetown and Raflo parks.

The Leesburg Bike Trail Network, set up in 2017 by Bike Loudoun and the town, adds more than 10 miles of shared-use paths, bike lanes and signed routes:

  • Blue Trail, 7 miles, from the W&OD Trail at Tuscarora Creek Park to the end of Ball’s Bluff Road NE near the entrance to Ball’s Bluff Regional Park.
  • Green Trail, 2.6 miles, from the W&OD Trail near Foxridge Park to Battlefield Parkway at North King Street, with paths on to Smart’s Mill Middle and Tuscarora High.
  • The two trailheads are 1.9 miles apart on the W&OD.
