The pace of the season may be a little slower, but in Arlington, there is no shortage of options for outdoor activities to fill the long summer days ahead. Best of all, with Arlington’s miles of shared-use trails, award-winning walkability, and extensive bus and rail network, you can travel to everything from free outdoor movies to farmers markets to live music without needing a car.
So that you don’t miss out on the summer fun, BikeArlington and WalkArlington have curated this list (admittedly incomplete) of local summer outings for your traveling pleasure. Whatever mode you choose, we hope you’ll find something on this list you’ll enjoy.
Visit CarFreeNearMe to figure out how to get there without breaking a sweat. Or, check out BikeArlington’s Bicycle Comfort-level Map to find a bike route that works for you. Or follow a Walkabout route to explore more of any neighborhood you visit.
Make the most of your multimodal summer without leaving Arlington.
