Jones Point

Jones Point Park stretches along the Potomac River beneath the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, offering trails, basketball courts, playgrounds, and fishing piers for outdoor activities.

The park contains one of the oldest federal monuments in the United States, marking the southern boundary point of Washington DC established in 1791.

The Jones Point Lighthouse, combining keeper's house and beacon in one structure, stands as the last operating riverine lighthouse in Virginia.

The park maintains two separate playgrounds for different age groups, clean restrooms, water fountains, and multiple paved paths suitable for cycling and walking.

A ship-shaped lawn in the park represents the exact dimensions of SS Gunston Hall, the first vessel constructed at Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation during World War I.
