This is one of the best museums & parks Ive ever visited. The gallery exhibits are excellent with full of great history about Great Bridge and its significance during the Revolutionary war. The people who fought here, unknowingly secured Americas future and helped boost the Patriots confidence during the struggle against the British.The trails are great for running and its enjoyable to walk the whole way. There will be events from time to time such as live music and food trucks. The people who put efforts into putting this museum and park together did a great service to Virginia and the U.S. as a whole. I highly recommend visiting when you can.

A great Museum, lots of parking and well marked trails. Very pet friendly.

Well designed! See on your own or ask a guide to walk through some parts with you! We could ask questions as we when though. We had a very knowledgeable guide! We learned so much about Great Bride and Hampton Roads! Also, we love to come and walk the beautiful grounds and hiking trails along the water! And a great place to bring a picnic, tables provided!

This is one of my favorite kayaking and fishing spots. Ive caught quite a fee different species of fish here. The trails are well maintained and the new(er) historical loop at the entrance is fascinating.

Beautiful views and walking trails! Clean and peaceful.

Great historical site! The museum is very nice and the docents are spectacular. The outside grounds are nicely kept with many informative signs. A great place to visit in Virginia Beach!

The park is nice, its clean and well taken care of. The back of the park has over looks and nice trails. The front has all of history described well on the boards throughout the park, and now with the museum open its even better, the people who work there are nice and informative. There are some open spaces in the museum, so it looks like they have planned out room to grow, which is understandable with such a new museum.

Nice scenic spot for a picnic or short walk along the water. The museum is a plus.

Peaceful vista. Great for a quiet lunch. Hope to use trail in the near future!!

Very nice & clean picnic area for eating breakfast & watching the boats going north & south .. I havent had the opportunity to visit the museum yet, but Im looking forward to it

Wonderful place to relax during my lunch break!

In the era of Covid, this is always a lovely place to sit in your car and eat lunch or, weather permitting, sit along the water to watch the boats, birds, butterflies and bees, which are plentiful in the footpath area near the bridge. It’s hardly ever over crowded and is a very nice place to take a walk in nature.

Great hiking trails. Went to take some sunrise pictures and got some really nice shots.

What a great place to spend a couple hours the docent I think his name was John took every question I threw at him about local history and was able to answer thank you for being a great place to ask a Lotta history type questions

We moved to Chesapeake a year ago and this has become our favorite place to take the kids.

Great people and a fascinating museum. I had not known the history of this place until now.

Good information about the battle.VERY helpful staff. There isnt a lot to look at, it only takes about as n hour to see it all

This is one of my favorite places to get out in nature thats close by. The walking trails are never crowded. Theres a couple of geocache here as well. You get the woods and the water. Its beautiful.

Fantastic waterway views. Scenic wooded walking pathways watching the sailboats and yachts in the water.

Beautiful and well maintained.

Beautiful park with plenty of shade for those who burn easily!

Nice place for a picnic but needs more tables. Also the visitor center is never open on the weekends, would love to check it out without having to take time off of work.

Beautiful location on Great Bridge locks. Great place for a family outing.

This place is nice for a walk in the woods, theres a trail about 1.2 miles long completely covered in shade along the water way, very nice. Theres a few benches along the way too. Theres also the memorial park which is a fun quick look. Good amount of parking.

The Great Bridge Battlefield Park is a really nice place to spend some time relaxing by the water and to walk the trails and read the postings about the history. There is a new museum there that we havent seen yet. It was close to closing time, so we went and saw some of what is outside since the weather was perfect.1st & 3rd Wednesday evenings 4:30 on there are the food truck gathering which had a nice crowd of families attend when we were there.

Not opened yet but the people helping to set up allowed us to come in and buy thing from the gift shop. They will be opening the museum at the end of March, if I remember right. We will go back as soon as it is opened.

Nice, easy walking trail along waterway

Nice area. No fishing.

My husband and I love coming here for the trails and fishing pier and also the great history. They just built a small museum and we cant wait for it to open. Also if youre into playing Pokemon, this is a great spot to catch them along with spinners and gyms. Overall beautiful view and peaceful area.

Beautiful location by the water and lovely inside. Listened to a youth steel drum band play on Food Truck Wednesday. Cant wait for exhibits to appear.

Perfect day on the water

Well kept secret of a step towards victory @ Yorktown! Nice displays. Tucked beside a waterway. Nice.

It had great attractions and hiking trails

The wooded trail was much longer than expected.

My grandson enjoyed see the bridge go up and all the boats passing.

Walked the path with my wife had a good time in nature

Great place to come

Enjoyed walking the trail but didnt get an chance to check out the little historical part of the park.

Wonderful nature walk

This is a good start on telling the Battle of Great Bridge story, as well as introducing the local water ways.

Just walk around Nice

Go with a tour guide. Theyre very knowledgeable and passionate about the history the!

Loved the food trucks. Cant wait for the museum to open.

Very nice, quiet place to visit. Interested in seeing inside once its open!

Very nice small Park on the water

Very scenic park with walk paths by the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River on the site of the Battle of Great Bridge 1775.

Great hiking trail, I take my kids fishing there.

Not very big or much to see the lock is cool and the park is nice for kids and a picnic some decent fishing and crabbing

The museum has just a few artifacts but its going to be a great resource for those wanting to know more about the Battle Of Great Bridge.

Nice hiking trail. Waiting for the museum to open

Amazing view

Awesome place to visit..lots of natural waterway and river bank to explore

The guys who operate the lock are cool and easy.going but professional.

Love taking the kids here. Scenery is great and they can learn a little about our nations history. A couple short nature trails to walk and its always fun to watch shipping go under the draw bridge.

Beautiful area! Watch boats in the locks

Great playground for the kids, you can launch your boat, and you can fish and crab on the banks while you watch ships wait for the bridge to raise.

I Love the view, and the passing of the boats

It is not open in full until mid 2019. Picnic tables, fishing spots, and a loop path are available as well as porta potties.

Love the trails

Great place for the kids or the dog! Well marked trail

Up and down no time delayed!

Awesome! So much history right in our backyard! Definitely a place to take the kids to learn about a very important engagement of American Revolution.

Cool place but the building wasnt open

Great place for all ages..

Theres a Charmander and Nidoran nest

Nice public park. Well used. New building going up for museum? Free dockage up to 36 hours...........?

This historical park offers an extensive trail system. Trails continue all the way to the bypass bridge and beyond. This is one of my favorite local places to go hiking with the family.The main monument area offers a lot of opportunity for a history lesson and to learn the importance of the battlefield. See other visitors photos under the other pins on the google map.

Beautiful spot with a nice walk through the woods

This is a great place to kayak!

Great place

A beautiful area with walking trails, historical information, and some of the best hiding places ever. Even if it starts raining while youre on the trails, the tree cover keeps you dry until youre back at the parking lot.

Great fun!

Great place for events and learning about the history of our area. Check out the DAR memorial as well.

Very nice little park. Its not finished yet, but whats there is well designed: a number of informational plaques, a nice walking path, and an elevated walking trail with an observation deck. Excellent spot for playing Pokémon with multiple gyms and 7+ PokéStops in a very concentrated area.

A new tradition in Hampton Roads History

Small park on intercoastal water way. Theyre doing a lot of building.

I really enjoyed it.

Needs more food trucks

Relaxing!

Nice, simple monuments that are also a good collection of Poké stops.

Ok

Theres a ex raid gym here and lots of pokestops

Super informative and serene!!

Excellent place for education

Great canal.

History is all around!
