There are two large play structures, toddler and kid swings, a seesaw, and bouncy horses. Benches are available for parents to sit on, and there is a shaded picnic area nearby.

This is a good starting/end point for parents who are trying to exercise with their kids. The trail is mostly paved, with a short stretch of gravel. Travel west on the Accotink Trail to reach Thaiss Park, which also has a small playground and picnic shelter.

This park is also accessible via Metro. Vienna Station (Orange Line) is roughly 1.1 miles north of Eakin Community Park.
