Very calm and peaceful. Got to see a boat go through the lock for the first time.

Was great until my family pulled and caught a teen couple getting it on in the parking lot. Apparently its a make out point. Other then that its a great fishing spot and my 8yrold loved the play park.

Great place to relax and enjoy nature. Was able to see the locks open to allow passing boats to continue navigating the canal. Saw a bald eagle flying by and tons of geese. Great park.

Fun for kids. Different than most parks due to the lookouts

Small park just inside deep creek. A decent amount of markers and things about the history. It also has a playground for kids, an exercise course, fishing pier, picnic area, and look out towers. All in all a decent little park. It does lack in parking and the road in involves a one lane bridge and very skinny road

Went here to go fishing, not horrible but the dock pylons are too tall, making it hard as hell to cast from the dock. Only have one porta-potty for a bathroom too.

Great little park for the kids to play at. Plenty of places to toss a line and fish. There is a calisthenics park next to parking for working out. Parking is limited but not a bad thing because not too many people come to the park.

This isnt a Dog specific park but absolutely gorgeous trails and history here.

The only thing I dont like about this place, is the lost bridge has a stream filled with chemicals!

Great park for enjoying the back bay and lock from fresh water to salt water. Some decent fishing here also.

Nice quiet area! Some of the brush could be cut but some of the lack as it relates to the attention to detail could be attributed to the current pandemic causing the city to focus on other things

Great spot for families not so great for crabbing or fishing

Awesome place to visit for nature. Saw a snake, squirrels, birds, a beaver, geese and a rabbit

Sports fields, a wonderful walking/fitness trail, a shady picnic area, a playground for kids AND a terrific dog park! The city requires a dog park tag which can be purchased at any rec center (see city website for rules). This park is located in a rural area with farm fields behind it and woods alongside and is well worth the trip. Just dont come after a heavy rain, the trails do get very wet and so does the dog park! I frequent a lot of city parks and this one is worth the trip, wherever you live.

The lock master was great!

Great fishing spots. Nice kids playground. Nice little exercise place. With an additional historical aspect.

Love this park, found it a few years ago from word of mouth and I liked it because of the size of the dog park. Now they have cut the dog park down by approximately 10 ft. to put a park beside it which is still more than enough room for dogs to run around. I can even throw my chuck it and have her run after it so its a pretty decent size.

I love it. Great for families with kids. Good walking trail if you want to get some exercise.

Great place for kids, picnics and parties.

This is a great place for kids and grown ups nice walks on paths around the water..

Fantastic place for any family. Great for hikers or kids who like a stellar playground. Pokémon GO players will also enjoy it as its a hotspot for the Deep Creek area.

Beautiful grassy shady picnic area. Borders Canal Locks, you can watch. Several covered concrete picnic shelters for 50 person gathering. Children play equipment. No permanent restrooms but portables. Some great views of nature along waterways. Historically 1700 1800 circa graves, monuments. Not to be confused with Deep Creek Park (+100) 2 miles South along same Canal, same business rte 17.

Quiet and nice!

A gem of a park. Nice facilities and very picturesque. Very relaxing and quiet.

Great trails and places to launch canoes or kayaks. Park is very well taken care of

Great place to avoid the crowds, to be alone

Surprisingly big park surrounded by trees and water. We enjoyed the walk down to the tip of the park and sitting by the water. There are three big covered picnic areas, two big play grounds, big fields, raised platforms to look around by the water, a long dock with lots of cleats, and a water level dock. Seems well kept.

Peaceful and calming. A lovely place for a picnic with the family or for some time with number 1, yourself.

Nice family park

Nice quiet out-of-the-way place plenty for children to do.

This place is quite enjoyable. Its rather quiet and peaceful on most occasions. Great for kids and adults.

A great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors

Caught a nice red fish on worm on the bottom

Quiet park set off from the roadway with several different areas set apart from each other. This is a great place to get away from the noise without having to get out of town to do it.

Very very nice love to cook outHave park grills there

Really nice park to walk through

Nice park area for children.

My daughter had a blast at the playground. It was nice and shaded by the trees in the evening.

Love it. Nice little path through woods and another path over the bride to walk out on a thin strip of land into the water. Teenager loves to climb towers and do some photography and toddler just loves the playground and walking around to all the areas.

Professional,. Safety first. Also has a sense of humor that comes with the safety instructions

This place has been a sanctuary for me for many years. Ive come here since I was young and always got to hang out with my friends. I enjoy the nature trails and the wide space. A great place for families with young kids.

Very under kept, grass in play area, grass not cut, dirty pull up in parking lot. Looks really bad!

Peace and Quiet.....nature trail...ITS the great dismal swamp so becareful of snakes....great picnic area and playground for kids

My baby loves this park. Barely anyone is ever here when we go, thats one of the best parts.

Its one of the best spots around to go crabbing, but it is usually pretty crowded at the holidays and weekends. There is alot of boat traffic so I think fisherman would have better luck at one of the piers around Hampton roads. The playground is not visible from the fishing area.

Nice little park. A couple of short trails great for little ones. Not jogger friendly but does have very nice workout station. They have a nice playground, park benches, and picnic tables. Also nice bird watching decks. There is a place for docking your boats if you are coming from the water. Only porter potties for bathrooms. It was very clean and had easily accessible garbage bins.

A quiet park with plenty of shade trees and a well maintained playground for the kids.

It was very nice to have a picnic with your family and friends.

Its a nice quiet park and my little ones enjoy it. I enjoyed the small calisthenic/workout area. Always seems fairly clean.

Great place!!!

Its a quiet park with lots of options for exercise. Also you can view great wildlife. I saw a bald eagle here

There is a park and you can relax

It was a great expierence. The dock n bridge master was great an very helpful

Very Beautiful! Nice playground for the children and nice nature walk. Would od gave 5 stars if they had bathroom, instead of portable toilets.

Start of our dismal swamp cruise. Lock attendant was very helpful and friendly. Great way to start this historic cruise

Nice quaint park not very busy.

Nice place to take the kids out for a day of fun

We had our family reunions there it was okay you got to use a lot of wagons in a lot of walking and the grass could have been cut

Great for pokemon go and dog walking

Grandkids enjoyed the park.

I have been living in Deep Creek almost my entire life, and I come to this park quite often. Ive made a lot of awesome memories here, spent most of my time after school with my friends climbing trees, and walking the trails, and all out enjoying the scenery over the water.

Nice and quiet shaded park. Has three picnic shelters, two water observation decks and a playground. This is one of my favorite parks in Chesapeake.

Quiet little Park not a lot of people ever there. I use it for Pokemon go

Great park full of history fishing, boating, play ground picnic area.andMore.

Quiet park. It could use a little maintenance!

A nice park with accessible trails playground shelters for cookouts and its near the water.

I had no idea how nice or big it was, great observation decks and a long fishing and docking pier.

Very nice park, wonderful place to take the family. Plenty of well-marked trails and beautiful views.

Only port o John and it was not clean and had no toiletries

Great place to go and relax or let your children discover nature. Cool look out points and play areas, great adventures for the whole family.

Nice place to relax

Park was okay wish their was a walking trail looking for some where to walk for exercise. It is peaceful.

Nice playground, picnic (grilling stations included), and fishing areas. Great for families! Small park overall and limited nature trails.

This is one of the coolest things ive ever seen. The guy workimg there took me and my co worker on the grand tour of the place. He showed us how everthing worked. We even got to see a boat go thru. Best park in deep creek area for the kids. They have alot of new upgrades going on. I have been going there for years and it look the best now than it ever has. Awsome park. Lots of parking. No fishing from the dock. There is an eagle that lives near there as well.

Lock keeper was really cool. Knew a lot about the swamp.

Its a great little park with a few shelters to sit under.

Its a small but nice park. Relaxing to sit and watch the water

I enjoyed the Nature Trail

Loved it ️ beautiful

Nice quiet and calm park. Very relaxing scenery and right on the water. Great for photoshoots

Great park. There are various trails with educational signs. It is on the canal as well.

Nice park, great place to go crabbing, lots of Pokestops, if youre into that. Kiddy playground, benches, picnic tables & pavilions, grills, shade.

First time here and I found my peace

Have gone here since i was a kid, always love it. have never had any issues. been hundreds of times!

Nice little park on the water with a small playground for kids.

As far as Facilities are concerned, its a bit sparse if youre talking about restrooms. Theres no vending machines, but thats not why I go to parks.... I love this park, but the City of Chesapeake really, really, needs to reconsider their policy on cutting back inspect spraying for some of their parks. Especially this one since its right on the water. Once Spring/Summer is in full swing, its almost unbearable, even with bug spray on. I will say that biting bugs are extremely into me, so your results may vary. I love the scenic overlooks at this park, and the fact you can cross two different bridges and check out hidden gem parts of the park.

Small park but love the trails

Great experience locking through north lock

Its cool

Lovely park right within Deep Creek...

Good place for nature walk with family.clean.

Very nice area for a family outing and fishing

Great place for kids and pokemon

Nice park by the water with tables a plenty.

Great place to relax. Picnic area, trails and horseshoe stakes

The kids loved to walk around and use the playground.

Enjoy the ambiance, very relaxing

Nice quite parked tucked up next to the Dismal Samp Canal.

Clean, well laid out.

Went to paddle a few hours. Not much to see
