Great place to bring kids of all ages! Unfortunately the splash park is closed. However the playground is huge!

I love this place. IT is my second house. Swimming pool is the best.

Something for everyone and every age. Amphitheater was outstanding with students from School of Rock Alexandriaperforming today.

Really cool park. I love the animals and musical instruments along the path, it actually kept my 6 year old entertained on our walk. The playground was crowded but filled with fun equipment

One of the best free parks that I have been to. Really well done! Make sure you bring water shoes or flip-flops that strap on in the back or you cannot go into the splash area. Dont forget to walk around the paved trail!

We were there for the soccer game. Good fields.

Great place to take a kit that wants to play on the jungle gym.

Fits the needs for healthy living, staff courteous, clean environment

Awesome place for families. We missed the seasonal memorial splash park however it looks awesome. The childrens play ground is elaborate so the kids can play for hours. the REC center is clean with great security. the exercise room is spacious. The spa, pool and work out center are very affordable with convienient hours of opeation. There is even a play school.

Perfect place of distraction in the area...

Nice concert by DCstrings

Lots of parking. Restrooms available for sports fields.

Fun for everyone!

This was a cool water park for kids to play. My children really loved it and we intend to come back with some friends. The playground outside of the splash park is actually pretty cool as well.

Cool lil chill spot for family & friends

New artificial grass field! Great park for kids to go play soccer. The site of many travel soccer games. Two sets of bleachers for spectators.

Good park, playground, forest access, water park in summer, big fields, Rec center, tennis courts, baseball fields, volley ball courts, usually a good crowd of kids, theater and playhouse, good for walking your kids and seeing some nature. Just a really nice place that they work hard to keep nice. Recommended. Only thing I miss is the fireworks they used to do years ago.

Great local free place to take the kids. We went a week ago for the first time, and it’s been all my 3yr old talks about. The play ground is different then I’ve ever seen. The older side of it, challenges you to try new skills and think. The splash pad is a nice touch for a hot summer cool down from running around playing. Be sure to bring water shoes for the kids. It would be nice to see some kind of food truck or something to purchase from so parents don’t have to bring so much stuff with them with so many kids. But over all it’s a great all day experience.

It is clean with a ton of slides and places for children of all ages to climb. The nature trail is just under a half mile long and is fun to explore as well. It has music for kids and carved animals along the way.

FREE, Fun place for the kids. Splash pad can fill up to capacity real quick. Big size playground next to the splash pad.

Great playground, beautiful, safe and with space for small and older children. The water part is also lovely. It seem to get very crowded, is big a pretty

We have been visiting the park since we moved to the area! Love the soccer fields, park, and splash park in the summer! There is also an outdoor stage that has music in the summer! Lots of activities all year round!

A great park with a wonderful water park thats open during the warm season (water shoes required) as well as a great playground, tennis courts and soccer fields. There are also some trails and sidewalks for walking, biking, rollerblading, etc. A great spot for some family fun outdoors.

Nice park for young kids. They have a water park for all children but only open at certain times of the year. The website shows the schedule for the summer time.

Lots of fun for all ages, including the .5 mile nature walk for non-playground players

Great park and amazing swimming pool. All my experiences have been amazing. The soccer turf is very nice too.

Loved this place as was age appropriate. Safe and fun environment for the kids to play. Handicap accessible splash pad.

Between the splash park, the music trail and the amazing play structures this place is a must visit for any family with kids or kids at heart, from 1 to 99. Always a great time

Kids had a great time

Have been using the Lee district rec center weight room for over 12 years. It is smaller in size than south run rec but in 2019 it is usually not very crowded. It is a great place for older adults like me to get fit. The classes my family and I have taken are of high quality. This center has a preschool, operates teacher workday programs, drop in exercise programs as well as many exercise, dance and skill development classes for adults and children. Inside, there is a gym with dance/exercise classrooms and an Olympic pool. Outside there is a spray park designed to assist children with disabilities. There are a number of ball fields and tennis courts. There is an amphitheater where concerts take place in the summer. There are a number of walking trails, and a treehouse.

I’ve been coming here for years and they’ve always gone above and beyond for the community from people at the front desk to the managers. Josh the park manager personally came outside in 100 degree weather to help jumpstart my vehicle with his cables when the battery was dead. I really appreciate the staff’s kindness and highly recommend this rec center to those who haven’t been.

I was there filming a commercial outside. The inside of the facility looked nice. The staff was friendly & helpful.

Awesome playground and trail for youngsters to explore.

We went for the splash pad, which we found out was closed when we got there. It said it was open on the website. That was disappointing. So we played at the playground, which was extremely busy. It was hard to keep track of all three of my kids. We LOVED the nature walk. It was shaded and not too long for my 2 year old to walk.

Love it here and the trails are fun. Just the right length for little legs

Really nice park space for big and little kids

Fantastic splash park with toilets and changing rooms. Amazing for toddlers to children about 8 years old.

Great place to take the family on the weekends. We didnt go to the water portion but still were able to spend over an hour. A good location for Pokémon Go, and a nearby Geocach as well.

The playground has a lot to explore. No swings though which my daughter loves. We havent been to the splash pad yet.

Great place to cool off with family and friends! Nice interactive walking trail...I wish more communities offered similar parks to their residents.

Such an amazing place to be. No need to say much u just pay a visit winkz*

Great place! If your heading to the splash park make sure to get their early, bring a cup for the kids to fill & dump (over & over) and check out the policy on watershoes ahead of time!

Outstanding park with playgrounds, tennis & basketball courts, beach volleyball, splash deck and ballfields.

Its really a great place for babies and adults.

Great playground. Love the newly done trail. Free water park in the summer and a carousel (purchase tickets) too.

Very Nice Place, Lots of things to do there))

Great recreation park around Springfield area. The facility was clean and lots of things to do like indoor swimming pool, basketball court, gym room, a place for organizing events and so on.....they even have outdoor courts like football, soccer, water park and basketball. I was really impressed with there staffs because they were very friendly and helpful.

Big fun playground with a massive splashpad and a nature walk featuring animal statues and musical instruments.

Love this place. I love how it is free of charge and located next to a great park and walking trail.

Very good soccer fields.

I go everyday to this place. I highly recommend it for a soccer game or just for a walk.

Just incredible. Come ready to get wet and then get wet. Very child friendly.

Fun place for the kids.The grounds was well kept.

Yesterday was my first time going there. My toddler had the best time ever. Will be going back

Great spray park for the little kids to run around. There is no fee to get in but if you get there later in the day there is a long line to get in.

Kids love the playground and little trail there.

***Warning about making reservations at this location***I wanted to reserve the soft play room for my sons birthday. I specifically called last month to see if I could at that time and they yes, to come in. I came in and they told me I could not schedule until the next month. I came in the next month and they told me I still could not do it.So, I suppose my suggestion would be to get independent confirmation before making a trip out there. They really need to train their staff better.

A great place to see your tax dollars do some good for the residents.

I like this place A LOT my only draw back is we signed up for a class prior to signing up we were never told about how they refund so I have almost $200 credit on the account there so it was never refunded back to my card. Anyways, i was notified less than week that the class was canceled due to low enrolled, whatever... but looking for another class is a absolute nightmare. We were told that most winter classes are canceled due to low enrollment. I feel like then dont offer all those no end programs. Its sad. Probably will end up having him take a swim class just to use my hard earn money which is now just a voucher... sigh

Great outdoor play areas for kids. Includes a walking path through the woods where kids can see statues of woodland animals and identify their footprints.

Great place for the kids to unwind and cool off at the splash pad...

If you consider that the four entries on google maps for this location include; Chessies Big Back Yard, Our Special Harbor Spray Park, Chessies Trail and The Lee District RECenter, then you have ONE outstanding place to visit.

I love going there with my daughter, she loves it.

Great facility, playing field and family atmosphere.

I was there for Sunday night sand volleyball meet-up and the courts are amazing. Lights until 11pm and somehow on a third straight day of sunny 90+ degrees weather, the samdvat 5 pm wasnt even hot. The fences and extra sand around boundaries make these tournament quality courts. The nets are VERY tight... Lots of rebound! The water park here is great, too.

Great water park for younger kids and toddlers!

Great place to be very clean . also the water splash is fully equipped.

This is a very nice place for everyone. Kids really like it and I really enjoy playing basketball.

Great play spaces for kids. Chessies tráil is really unique.

So much fun for your whole family

This is a great place to be during summer.

My Kids love this place.

Awesome place for kids about 7 and under. The best part is that its free! Get there early though, gated open at 11 (friend the well when we went)out and people start to line up around 10:30 since only a certain amount of people are allowed in at one time.

The kids love it every time

Everything I need in one place. I can exercise indoors or run the grounds while my son has football practice. Outdoor restrooms are available near fields and usually clean.

Great family outdoor fun!

Good for family. Kids play area and picnic table next to it.

We absolutely love Cheesie’s Big Backyard! My daughter has been coming here since she was 2 and she’s always enjoyed every minute. We love the water park, and the carousel and trail is such an awesome added touch!

Good clean place to take the kids

Awesome place to take your small ones

I used to come here as a kid and I will have to say they have some major improvements over the years. And for those of you who understand there are 7 caches throughout the park. Lots of construction at the moment but Im excited to see the new upgrades. If you havent been out yet, do it!!

Nice place to run and great activity for kids too

Hiking trails, plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, and a fantastic play area, even on a cool winters day.

Very very nice park. Free

The new spray-ground is very nice and well maintained. Just keep an eye on your kids because that re-circulated water isnt the best for them to be drinking. The fully accessible playground is beautiful. My daughter did a dance class when she was about 4, but it was very much organized chaos. Possibly what youd expect from a class with that age group, but she could do that for free on the playground.

Nice acoustics added to their little walk

Great park with lots of things to do for kids. I took away a star because the animal scavenger hunt on chessies path was a bit too easy. Try harder guys!

We love Lee District Rec center. The classes are reasonably priced. Nice pool and generally clean locker rooms. The splash park is amazing but only open during the summer and its packed. Show up first thing or a couple hours before closing to avoid a line for the splash park. Theres also an indoor soft play room, but call first is frequently closed for parties.

So much fun. Get there early though!!

This is a family friendly park with an indoor pool inside the rec center, a full sized turf soccer field, two large grass football/soccer fields, indoor restrooms serving the outside parks and a secluded baseball field behind the soccer field. Its also home for the Lee Mount Vernon Soccer Club.

Great place. Small water park for the kiddies. Free to the public (Fairfax county residents, I think, but nobody asked). Has a regular playground all year and splash park in the summer. No standing water/pools, but lots of fountains and sprinklers. You can bring snacks for picnicking. Restrooms are available. Nice shaded areas.Come early, it gets busy quick.

Great soccer field

Maybe one of the best parks in the county system. Large, indoor rec center with pool and courts, several large outdoor fields for soccer/football and baseball too I think, four outdoor tennis courts with lights, two two-sided tennis practice walls, and an outdoor family pool mainly for small kids.

Were doing swim lessons for our daughter, where there is a very big pool that is not over crowded when the lesson is going on. Looks clean in and around the pool, and the locker room looks clean, as well. The staff so far is very friendly and helpful, and our swim instructor, Ashley, is very nice and great with the kids.There are also dance and many other types of classes for kids and adults, check out the RECenter website. Later this summer I plan to sign up our daughter for soccer lessons here.

Best Sprayground, but make sure you get here before 11 as they do fill up and you won’t get a good seat to put your belongings.

I have been playing racquetball at Lee District Rec Center for a while now. And I like the facilities. Im partial to all of the kids, yelling, and playing in the hallways but I get over it. The racquetball courts are in good shape. We just need a daily mopping because they do get slippery at times. Although, my last visit, the courts were actually great! The staff is awesome. There is one staff member whos understanding the need for racquetball and is working with one of our team members to promote the racquetball at the club. So overall, I think I am going to continue playing at Lee District

This park has changed so much over the years. It has gotten nicer. The one thing I would say that is missing is the old train that uses to run around the park. I havent checked out the kids water park. But i hear it is really nice.

Our favorite playground in the area! Theres a great tot lot and another playground for the bigger kids so littles dont get run over. So much for kids to do! The tree house is unique. And the splash park is just the best!

This is one of the best recreational park for childrens and everyone, it has a big playground, pools, an water park for kids and field trail that is full of surprises, is very nice place to take your family and is free!

Good recreation area. The rec center is maintained nicely and the surrounding fields and courts are in good condition. The three stars dont mean there is anything wrong with it, it just isnt a place that is impressive. Gets the job done.
