This location was such a surprise, but true hidden gem. The grooming of the trails and bike jumps speak to the dedication of those tending. There’s such a fun variety of runs and jumps nestled into such A magical setting. We will be sure to return!

It was our first time going there, its beautiful trail. The only down fall there is no sign how to exit. Mostly the trail is for bickers but its nice. Will do it again

This park, on the surface, is pretty perfect. It has multiple, winding trails, beautiful vegetation, benches overlooking pretty streams, and lots of hills, making for great exercise. However, the sign at the entrance, instead of reading multi-use trail should actually say hikers: watch.your.backs. There are cyclists, most going about 30 mph, whipping up and down the often very narrow trails and, if you fail to hear them and/or yield the right of way, youre liable to get run down. This is not a place for a peaceful walk because youll surely get jolted out of your woodland reverie by someone hollering ON YOUR RIGHT, as they speed past you. Its unnerving and dangerous and, in my opinion, its a waste of a lovely urban nature space.

Very nice trail for its location. You can tell that there is some upkeep being done.

This is easily my favorite place in the area to go walking/jogging. Every time Im there I wish I had a mountain bike too, the trails and courses they have are amazing.

Beautiful place for mountain biking at any level. Well maintained by volunteers. Very clean and Beautiful.

Havent been out to Ipswich in 20 years. We went in off of Paramount from the Chesapeake side. Theres a trail for all levels. Fun day & trails are actively upgraded.

Great park for biking. While you can definitely take a walk in this park it is more geared towards the cyclist. A large majority of the paths are narrow but do widen in some areas. Theres also an area where you cross over a field into another portion of the park where there are jumps if youre in the BMX riding. While it is a great park, I give four stars because of the excessive amount of roots that are on the trails. This is probably something thats not preventable but it doesnt make for a smooth ride. Aside from the field you cross into from one area of the park to the other the park itself is 100% shaded so thats nice. I dont know if you want a good bike run with jumps and trail riding this is the park for you. I would go back but I definitely wont bring my infant cart next time. One of our favorite parts for biking is Oak Grove Park. Its a mile and a half loop around the lake and the path is very wide, enough for two-way traffic. Happy trails!

I love the jumps and Im pretty sure you will to but dont full send them. Jump them at your own past. Dont be afraid of people making fun of you because they wont all the riders there are super nice to all ages so just relax and have fun

This park is beautiful but there are several things you should be aware of.1. If your plan is to go hiking or biking, don’t go to the posted address (1709 Rokeby) - go to 2003 Rokeby Avenue instead. 2003 Rokeby is the access point for trails, etc.2. While beautiful, the trails are poorly marked. It’s hard to even make sense of them. It’s as if they were marked out by an inebriated person - truly. Major forks are unmarked (as if someone forgot what they’re supposed to be doing, lol). The trails are filled with random paint colors (some crossed out) and unintelligible markings. All that to say, if you have a poor sense of direction, bring your phone for GPS. Chesapeake’s best and brightest certainly did not mark these paths! 3. Hikers, be prepared to leap off the path to avoid collisions. Cyclists use even the walking trails and they’ll come barreling towards you. I’m hesitant to bring my 6 year old daughter here for this reason.I feel it’s worth mentioning that this park isn’t particularly well maintained. Trash receptacles are putrid and overflowing and several “bridges” are out of service.Overall, this is a beautiful place and a surprising, mostly pleasant find in the middle of a busy suburban area.

Love going here and riding my bike with my son. Great jumps and hills and trails. Well taken care of and maintained. Lots of options and easy and harder ways. Very fun.

A lot of fun to mountain bike. It has something for each experience level.

Lots of trails to choose from and easy to navigate. There is even a small bike park further in

Definitely a hidden gem of a park in Chesapeake. The bird walk with cape Henry Audubon was informative and enjoyable. Will definitely return for solo birding. The trails are well maintained though can be steep and muddy in places.

I grew up riding mountain bike in BMX at this place and it has been some time since I have been back in the woods there and my God hasnt changed awesome job

Great spot for in-city singletrack trail riding.

Hidden gem, great trails, not overly crowded. Varying degrees of difficulty in trails.

Always nice to come here with my kids.

Not many options for mountain bike trails on the Southside, Ipswich is one of them. Flat, lots of roots, but still fun.

Filmed a short film here. Good spot for filming, biking, or walking

Cool spot where a kid can be a kid. Lots of trails, jumps and other oddities to keep you busy for the day.

Great place to get out just make sure you spray yourself down with mosquito repellent.

Nice combination of novice and technical trails

I do not recommend going on this place they dont work right

Nice trails to explore that feel like real hiking trails. A little road noise, but the leaves rustling minimizes most of it. If you have a poor sense of direction, you may want to tag your car location. Mixed trails for hiking and biking/bmxing with a few picnic tables at one parking lot area. One of my favorite areas to take my dog

Beautiful little spot to wander and ease my mind. Never had been there before but it definitely helped with the anxiety and bad day I was having at that point. Also has a pokestop for anyone who cares of plays pokemon go .. Also, for those that go, please keep it clean! Its beautiful and doesnt deserve to be destroyed by messed up and lazy humans!

Beautiful place, my family and photographer loved the beauty of it

Love this trail. Has to be our favorite trail close to home. Got caught in the rain the other day which only made it more beautiful.

Been going there since I was a kid and its only gotten better as the years have gone by.

Special for walk and bicicros.

The trails are well maintained and clearly marked. I love that its explicitly dog-friendly and there were lots of trail options for us to come back and see something new! I will say that I dont recommend walking these trails with headphones in though. There were a few bikers and the way the trails are I didnt see them until they were on top of me, but I could hear them coming. Im also glad that I marked on my phone where I parked my car so I could find my way out when I went off trail

Pretty cool mtb/bmx dirt park .

Great for biking. It may not be as hardcore as some people want, but for it being local its a great little spot.

The Park is nice but it is so hot out here. I am with some friends at a Family Reunion but the heat index is 107... I cant stand it so Im out!Turtles!Von

Great place for a bike ride or walk. The bike jumps in the back of the park are huge! Tons of great single track. Staff is super friendly as well.

First visit here walked around the entire thing the trails towards the BMX park are wider and better maintained then the small square by the blvd.The trails are mostly single wide by the blvd and wider by the BMX, overall a good walk area.Id say its better for biking as some area by the blvd have to much mud to walk in.Also a good amount of snakes on just 1 walk heads up so you dont step on them

Flat, dirty. I was dissapointed. However nice track for kids indeed. And a hidden lovely dirt lane.

I live in the neighborhood, I dont really use the park, but many bike riders use and enjoy it. There is always someone there riding through the trails.

Beautiful little park in the middle of no where. Huge playground for the kids.

Trails are horribly marked and maintained. It seems like every hundred feet or so the trail forks into two and you never know which way is the actual trail or just an unofficial path. And the trails look like they haven’t been properly maintained in months.The BMX jump area is the only saving grace for this park, however. Very legit BMX area.

Best dirt biking anywhere around

My church, First Baptist West Munden have their churchs cook out there. Good park for the family. My daughter runs the track for exercise. Must visit..

This is a trail my family uses when we can. Something for every level rider. Just not for training wheels. Realize the facilities (bathroom etc.) Some distance away.

Nice set of trails for walking, mountain biking, or BMX.

Beautiful little park. I just wish the trails were better marked and better taken care of overall

The park is gorgeous but there are a lot of problems, first is google maps location for the trail part of the park is wrong. The trails are located off of Drew Dr. well that’s the only entrance I found & there was no parking so I parked by the street & the trail is dirty, when I went there was a lot of trash, the little stream looked disgusting & it was pretty sketchy. As I walked deeper in the park I stumbled into a few homeless peoples home? I’m not sure if there are always homeless people living there in makeshift tents with clothes hanging up or if it was a one time thing but it made me feel like I shouldn’t be there alone, so I turned around & the trails are very poorly marked so I almost got lost multiple times & it says nature trail but it’s mainly just for bikes, it not really made for dog walks & I was only there about an hour & when I got to my car between me & my 2 dogs I found 9 ticks on us, that’s a lot for a short time. So I won’t come back but if you’re into mountain biking this is your place. I suggest not going here alone unless you have protection or something.

Great trail to take the family! Biking or hiking.

Wonderful local park for exercising or relaxing!! Ride your mountain bike or take a walk! The more adventurous can try the various levels of jumps!! We drive all the way from the Peninsula to ride there, and its worth the trip! Please like my review if it helped you.

This hidden treasure is a fun, family friendly place to take the family. They have canoes and paddleboats with all the safety gear available for those wanting a water adventure! They have a small store to grab snacks or support the park. Families can fish at the gorgeous ponds and waterways. The nature trails are well maintained and a fantastic place to explore for animals or foliage. During the fall, they do a haunted hayride that is usually sold out.

Great mtbn

Stayed there a a while. Had a great time and reasonable rates.

Great bike trails.

Leave all your Worries and troubles at the entrance of the Park. inhale. then exhale...and relax

The nature trails are well maintained and a fantastic place to explore for animals or foliage. During the fall, they do a haunted hayride that is usually sold out.This 90 acre park is interesting because its really TWO parks as it is cleanly split by Military Highway but between Rokeby and Paramont Avenues.

Lots of winding trails for hiking and biking. Also has a BMX park and other jumps and obstacles.

Indian River Park offers a wide variety of riding styles this was my first experience there although with all the rain some spots were to muddy but a great first run Ill definitely return

Fantastic trails!

So pretty! The only problem were the bugs, I felt like I was going to be bit or a spider was crawling in me every 5 seconds. Other than that this is a great place to go to for a hike. We took our baby in a baby carrier backpack, would not recommend strollers.

Pretty awesome spot to walk your dog around. Lots of little trails. Good for BMX biking. Careful because the trails inter loop. You need to watch out for bikers. Parking is not where the address tells you to go. Head to Drew Dr. You will pass the entrance to the trails and can park right by the entrance on the street to get to the actual trails.

Very well maintained

We just had fun riding the bike trails and watching some BMW bikers jumping!

Nice lol spot to get to know someone a lil better low key

Something for all family members.

Hopefully this gem of a park isnt destroyed by the urban sprawl they have planned!! Keep Chesapeake green!!

I rode my new bike here and was unaware it was there

Excellent mountain biking for such a small and flat area. Really is worth the drive, they have dirt jumps, pump track, trails, technical terrain features and some sweet riding.The guys that maintain it are epic, and its one of the best places in tidewater to ride!

Quite and water access huge Trees well moniteed

Nice little park

My son love playing there. But some time no one there. It Is well taken care and very clean

Cool place go cycling

I actually like this place cuz theres nobody ever there

Really awesome and great place for trail riders. Only thing I would definitely like to see is more ramps soon as it could really make the place grow for the BMX riders!

I love all of the mountain bike trails and the box dirt park as well. Its such a great time going with groups of friends and also a good spot to go out to by yourself. The mountain bike trails are a bit rough but ride very well, lots of wooden features as well. Fun for all experience levels on mountain biking. 97 acres of trails and jumps its amazing. I go all the time!!!

Great bike and hiking park. Dogs are permitted and most of the walking paths are shaded in the woods. We love it.

Nice run through the woods... Needs to be marked... A continuous trail to the outside edge would be great...

Place is over grown weeds. Poison ivy. Used car tire in parking lot. Beer and malt liquor cans and bottles everywhere. That’s the children’s area.Bike trails are overgrown. Can’t find entrance.

Its a great part for biking. It has BMX ramps and it also has mountain bike trails.The city of Chesapeake is attempting to destroy this beautiful park all the time by building on it.

Park has grown up a bit. Small but enough obstacles and jumps to get in a great workout and have fun

Great place to go when life just seems to get to you. Quiet and peaceful. Also if you have kids theres a playground for them.

Mountain bike heaven...

It has a nice play ground and basketball court but its a pretty small park

Trails are over grown and flooded. Walked the perimeter and never found a real entrance. There was a small section of mountain bike trail but it was also torn up and dilapidated.

Nice place to relax and walk around.

Great park for the children. They had fun.

Went down to the Bike Trail section, dont underestimate it these trails are not exactly for beginners but are doable just take it at your own pace.

Wonderful park my girls loved it

Great place to ride trails in VB. One day Ill work up the nerve to lay into the pump track, lol.

The camping was perfect, right next to a park and kayaking and canoeing, also its a great distance from the high way, so we really enjoyed the peace and quiet.

This place is so much fun to hike.

Nice walking trails

While riding my bike here I saw lots of lizards, butterflies, birds, and even one snake! There was a good amount of trash so im bringing a trash bag with me next time. Great for riding your bike or a walk. Trails are a little unkempt but the BMX jumps are gnarly

The best place to mountain bike in Chesapeake. Lots of trails for a small area, plenty of features and obstacles.

Bike trails are awesome

Fantastic trails!

Reviewing the mountain bike trail part of the park in particular. (Ipswich.) Given how flat it is around here, theres still a decent variety of things to do on two wheels in there.

Good biking?

Some of the best trails in Virginia Beach

Nice place

Nice assortment of trails and rhythm sections. Good place for all types of riding. For the love of god please do not play with r/c cars on the bike tracks!

Beautiful
