A peaceful oasis in the heart of our neighborhood. More trails than you might think. A successful stream restoration project on Turkeycock Run has increased the ecological health of the stream valley to our benefit.

Nice park with some beautiful views. Grab some coffee or bring an inconspicuous alcoholic beverage of your choice, face east toward the city and youre set. Great place foe dog lovers or a nice place to chat with a loved one. TIP: On CLEAR NIGHTS stay an extra 30 minutes after sunset for a nice evening view of the city lights turing on.

At the time that we when there everything was good, also we when there in July 2020 and still a great place to bring your friends and family to pass a good time, walking, fishing , have a cookout and many more activities.

Great park with beautiful nature trails! I found out about this park on an app on my phone called trails. I only live around 4 miles away! Glad I got to experience this before I move to a different part of Alexandria coming up. It wasnt that crowded here for a Saturday! I would go back again soon!

Great little park with some hiking trails

Review №14

The main park trails were wide and comfortable for a leisurely walk. However, park signage is poor to non-existent, and walkers could easily lose their way. That was most disappointing.

Day after the rain. Everything was pretty wet. Good thing we brought wipes and paper towels. Looks like it might be under construction. Sunday mornings are very quiet at 10 am, however an hour later the park starts to fill up. Plenty of space for the kids, basketball court, baseball field and incredibly nice soccer field (turf). Picnic/barbecue area is sparse and on a first come first serve basis. Overall Id bring my kids here again.

An urban oasis....I tramped around in a cold rain and still felt energized by being here. A big park...dog run, tennis courts, interpretive signage, easy-to-hike trails. Dogs should be leashed. If youre interested in land restoration, check out what Fairfax County Parks has set up with step terraced stream and woodland plantings from the Sleepy Hollow side.

I stopped by the Thursday farmers market. The lettuces are out and bigger and more beautiful than last year. So happy. I also picked up a couple little baskets of zucchini. Theyre cute. I hope they taste good. Mason District is a great little urban park. Now Im looking forward to the summer concert series there.

Review №35

Its a huge place, with fields for many different sports as well as a dog park, a playground, trails into the woods which lead into gorgeous landscape. I love to take the dogs I walk/sit there to run around off leash and smell things and have a great time in general. Oh! And dont forget about the Thursday Farmers Market!! It always has great stuff, including a booth of local garden experts with whom it is fantastic to converse. They all know tons, and if they dont know about something theyll look it up, though I personally have never seen any of them need to. The produce selection is vast, and there are plants and crafts and baked goods (the cupcake girl mixes addictive substances into her cupcakes I swear it, that or she sold her soul to Martha Stewart at the crossroads one night) and even a spice & tea vendor who sells spices & herbs & mixtures thereof, including herbal tea blends, made with things grown on his farm. Theyre to die for, too!

Expansive Park in Fairfax County. Playing fields on the lower level, amphlitheater, tennis courts, woodland trails with historic markers, dog park are all situated on the upper level. Picnic shelters in various places (probably need to be reserved). Many families, couples, ball practices, dog walkers. Seems safe.

This is our favorite local hiking spot. The kids and dog love the hills, steams, and the tree coverage is near 100% making it cool hike even in the summer months. Yes, there are play sets, soccer field and a great big dog park so theres tons to do. However, we appreciate the hiking part the most.

Big dog park with very well maintained grounds. Not swampy, muddy and/or stinky like so many other dog parks today because of the relentless rain weve been experiencing.

I went hiking with some people along the Mason District Park trails. I was very disappointed with the amount of trash and the awful smell that followed us along the path. It is sad to see what humans do to our Earth. This park needs some love.

This place is nice but could use some additional jungle gym areas. There is a lot of space and they could expand the two that are there. I don’t have any kids in sports yet but the fields there are in good shape.

I go to the Farmers market on Thursday mornings there from 8 to noon. There is plenty of parking and handicapped parking is available. Local honey, vegetables, peaches, grapes, etc., are available. The market can easily be seen from the road.

The park as a whole is pretty good. The soccer field needs new turf since a couple of spots are ripping up and the playing surface is pretty short and impacted from all the use. The addition of backstops is very good though.

Al
Review №80

Well kept park. I took my son to the playgrounds many times over the years. 2 playgrounds (each for different age groups), basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic benches, sports fields, nature paths, dog park, pond, and more. Only negative I can think of is parking is sometimes is scarce due to all the special events they have, but the have several lots so Ive always found a spot somewhere, just not always a close spot.

The trails are poorly marked and the playgrounds are mediocre. They do have restrooms, water fountains, and vending machines. The pond is nice - there are tons of turtles. Overall, everything is a little shabby.

A huge fabulous park that has everything: soccer field, basketball and tennis courts, picnic area with grills, children playground and extensive trails through a mini mini forest of native flora and faunas, tranquil stream and animals expertly manicured and recently renovated/reopened in May. Simply the best park around hands down, love it!
