Tide Lock Park is located at 1 Canal Center Plaza Alexandria. The 4.68 acres park features a biking trail as well as riverfront seating area which makes it a part of the linear park system along Alexandria's waterfront. Tide Lock Park not only provides residents with an environment to hang out while enjoying the waterfront, it also hosts an important artifact at the Park, an old historic 7 mile canal which was used to carry boats with coal.
Tide Lock Park was named after a canal which was used to move goods and materials to and from sea going ships from 1843 to 1886. A replica of the lock and the canal is currently housed at the park with the original canal wall stones still present. Not only is the park home to an historic canal, it is also home to the "Promenade Classique" which is a neoclassical sculpture garden created among waterfalls and pools by French artists Anne and Patrick Poirer who incorporated archaeological and mythological references in their work.
