Its decent for outdoor excursions. the grass can get pretty tall so plan accordingly. We took the kids fishing and had a decent time but i dont recommend it for non-outdoors types.
Nice and peaceful. Not mutch to it. Low cut grass around a slightly taller grass field. Very few people around
Brilliant!!...great place to walk..trails are wide and grassy
Perfect place to catch the sunset!
Pretty good place to run or have a nice quiet secluded walk/lunch but still remain in the heart of great bridge!I go to run often. There is a XC path that snakes and meanders through the park, some variance in elevation but wide open. The ground can get a little saturated after it rains and it’s right on the bank of the Elizabeth so it can have standing wanted on occasion.Recently got a facelift with new parking lot entrance and ramp to the field....don’t get confused there is no playground here it’s just an open field.
Great place for a quiet picnic
Good park for running or walking, not much fun for kids though. Park mostly consists of grass trails, including one 5km trail that is marked. The trails are well-maintained and there are some nice spots overlooking the river. There are porta potties and trash cans but no play areas or permanent toilets.
Stopped here by accident, got out and walked the whole park, beautiful place to relax, even saw a Bald Eagle!
Great place for social distancing
General: The park is flat and bordered by water on two sides with swampy wetlands in the middle. My wife and I went there to enjoy a 2 mile jog in the park rather than drive to the oceanfront. Considering how few walking, running, hiking trails there are in Hampton Roads (especially Chesapeake)
Wide open space, marsh views, new exercise equipment
Great place nice trails
A really fun park with only a few people around.
This park is great for what it is. A 5k cross country course. The trail isnt super well defined but its easy enough to navigate. Lots of people bring their dogs out and not all them pick up after themselves so watch your step. Theres a port o potty but not much else as far as facilities go. Lots of races are held on the course throughout the year. It gets very muddy after rain and theres no shade during the summer. Happy running!
Beautiful setting....great trails and view for walking dogs or taking the kids!!
Inspiring park with interesting habitat, overflowing trash cans and a dead opossum.
I liked it, its just no public restrooms other than portable restrooms.
Nice cross country course.... But no facilities or running water. Not a good place for large school events.
A decent place to run. Just watch out for the flooding after it rains, the random holes everywhere, and the grass that goes uncut. Also might want to bring some kind of bug repellent
Amazing place to run
Just a mowed path on perimeter of field. Ok if you are walking your dog or running. NOT a hiking trail.
Nice place to walk your pets
Nice scenery, but just a huge grassy area with grass cut to make a path. Hard to run on if you like level ground. Nothing for kids to do. Not a park, more of a nature area. Hopefully they will update it?
Disappointing as a park as really just jogging and walking trails. Huge amount of land though, hopefully more to come.
As others have pointed out the pictures are dated and inaccurate: there is no longer a playground here. It is mostly grassy trails around a hill. There are pretty views and its worth a visit, just dont go expecting much for the kids to do. There does seem to be construction occurring so maybe a playground will be built.
Good park playground for kids to play and families to sit and enjoy picnic. Also a great fireplace to light and enjoy telling stories. Great view of Canal to watch boats. Nice neighborhood with plenty of eating places near by. Public bathrooms.
Nice 2.5 mile or 5k trail. Trail is grass and there are a couple of hills. Trails are cut regularly and marked.
Peaceful and nice 5k run. Only portable restrooms though.
Just a grass field with mosquitoes the size of an airplane.Took the dogs and even them were bothered by the amount of bugs.
Not much to see here but good for running on grass.
Good place to walk with your dog. Lots of ticks tough.
Little known nothing park.
Beautiful place but not enough parking when holding events but overall was very nice
Grass needs to be cut on a regular basis especially in the summer time. Cross-country teams and the general public like to run/jog the trails. With all the recent rain, in my opinion, the grass needs to be cut again soon. Twice a month would be great. Also, it would keep the bugs and biting flies down. Thank you
Excellent running trails
Great for running your doggos although there are some areas my doggo went swimmin (like holes in fences that lead to the sewer)
Nice scenery! Great for photo taking.
Decent park.
Fitness equipment
Beautiful walking trails
Needs a bigger parking lot to accomdate big events. Port a potty were nasty
Really nice course. Cant wait to run on it next year!
Nice but no kids park set
Fun. Great for running has hills.
Horrible dont go sad its even a park
Pictures are inaccurate.....no playground, no trail, just a big empty grassy lot. And the parking lot is next to the jail recreational area. Dont take your children
Big grass field with about a five foot wide path cut around the perimeter. It appears to be 2 miles. Some views of the nearby Elizabeth river but mostly blocked by huge trees. If it rains its a soggy mess.
Two walking trails skirting and cutting through rolling fields surrounded by forest and wetlands. Port-a-potties.
Only dropped off and picked up runners yesterday.
Nice park.
Swampy.
Wonderful scenery
