tripadvisorSuch a great place with free parking to visit if you are looking for a change of scenery for your walking ritual (or biking, blading, skating/boarding, etc.) Kites fly, people run & walk, grills are smoking, kids are playing & laughing, just simply an enjoyable experience with a lot to see and do.
MoreMy husband and I went here during the early Spring where the hill grasses were still dry but we could see people playing kites, having picnics, exercising, this was life of the place. Two of the best thing you'll get is many parking space(free) and feeling refreshed!
MoreThis is a very nice park with a big hill and a lake. You get good views from on top of the hill. Basically you can get some good down time here. I’m not sure if they still have canoeing and paddle boating here in the lake.
MoreOne of Virginia Beach's popular parks. There's a playground, another large kids playground, a couple of large covered picnic areas, a roundabout path for walkers and a mini pier for fishing. Great for families, joggers and dog walkers
MoreThere is a big and exciting jungle gym that children seem to thoroughly enjoy playing on. Additionally, I have always taken pleasure in flying kites on the summit of a towering heap of the covered trash mountain.
