On Daingerfield Island you can have an outdoor picnic, watch sailboats and windsurfers go by. It is a mostly forested flat park. Right here was the first settlement of Alexandria, founded by Simon Pearson in 1696.

Hiking

A swamp in the middle of Washington DC. Not the swamp you're thinking about, I don't know enough about it. I mean real nature in the middle of the city. A bird's paradise made accessible to the people through a stake path. At the end there is the sailing marina with a restaurant and of course a huge parking lot. Nice view of planes taking off from Reagan Airport.
