Great location with paved walkway as well as paths off it to be more hiking like. Its beautiful with so many wonderful fall colors. Its tucked away but you can hear slight traffic. So dont come here if you want to be away from it all. There are lots of people usually on a nice day.

Lots of kids/families out when I went yesterday (Labor Day). Really easy trail hike with lots of nature scenery from boulders to streams. Easy to find and plenty of parking space.I have terrible back problems and this was perfect for me. It’ll be nice to do in the fall with all the changing colors.

Has a great new set of playground equipment and has very scenic hiking paths for a simple park making it a great place to visit for young and older kids

Beautiful park. Love being able to walk the path during lunch and even take a few different side rails from time to time

A nice park with lots of areas to explore. There is a covered space with tables for gatherings and parties, as well as picnic tables, benches, and barbecues scattered around the park. There is a swing-set located near the parking lot, as well as bathrooms on site. Its a short hike down to the water which you can get in, and there are other trails to explore as well (some are better kept than others) such as the Virginia Central Railway Trail.

A really good park it could be a lot better.Walk along the creek for some really cool formations and a couple of small waterfalls.Bring a bicycle and connect to the Fredericksburg network of cycling paths.Looking at my picture, clearly there has been a playground here it has been removed for whatever reason. If you brought your kids to come to a playground and were disappointed, check out Duff McDuff park a few miles away or Old Mill in old town Fredericksburg.The trails are not very well marked or maintained and there are lots of places where people have made their own trails causing a lot of erosion.

New playground is going in soon! Cant wait! The trails here with the creek is awesome and very easy to walk with kids (ages 3 and 7).

Very pretty park right on creek. In fact you drive through to get to main parking. Maps were provided for paths to follow. Clean rest room. Pavillions, swings. Some paths paved, others through woods along stream. Lots of families out enjoying water and shade.

Its a great place to take your dog for off- leash adventures! My dog loves that she can play in the shallow water and chase squirrels freely at Alum Springs.

Serenity and tranquility. Its very hard to find places like these. A must to be in touch with nature.

I come here every now and again to unwind and escape the stressful world we live in. Its such a beautiful and relaxing place to be. Definitely recommend you guys come here.

Nice little park in the middle of the city. Very quiet from the city noise but lots of people there. There are also many placed to go down by the river and swim and lots of park benches.

Huge park, lots of places to have beautiful views. Wonderful for the kids and family. Good for biking and swimming. Close by pool and much more. They have public restrooms and swimming holes. Big abundance of parks. Very kid friendly place. Beautiful in the winter and all seasons. Huge park, lots of places to have beautiful views. Wonderful for the kids and family.

Nice little park. But way overcrowded. Not much parking. Especially if you have a larger truck/SUV

Very interesting cool place to hike.

Beautiful but busy on a holiday. Limited parking. City area flooding will prohibit access to the park.

One if the park our family hangout at the most! Kid and adult both will have lots fun! The trails is short but beautiful. Kids area with slides and swings! Just amazing

Small park with picnic tables, pavilion, nature walking trails & easy access to Virginia Central Railroad Trail.

Awesome place! lots of trails. The creek is cold and refreshing. Also bike path. All around awesome

Nice area, tucked off of rte 3. Nice walking trail, running stream, nice duck off spot to relax

Nice place to go cook at. You can walk around a trail and chill nearby. Take your family or friends for a cookout here, youll have plenty of space.

Very accessible, cool petrified wood

Great place to take the kids and dog! Busy parking lot but easy to social distance on trails and in water.

Great walking/nature/picnic park. Only has a swing set - not so much a park for small children if youre looking for the giant playground experience. Very pretty place where you can definitely find a spot to relax and read a book of talk with a friend, forget about things kind of place.

Nice place to get out and stretch your legs. You do have to cross a stream in your car to access the park, so theyll close off the park if its been raining and the stream is high. They have some nice short trails that are worth checking out, playground for children, and picnicing areas.

Very beautiful and nice. The only bad part is you may get wet crossing streams.

Super busy. Loved the park. Beautiful environment. Have gotten family pics done their multiple times.

Clean park with a dozen or so parking spaces. There’s a two mile long running and biking only road just to the side of it. The wood trails were fun to jog/walk. Be careful not to slip on leaves or mud. Will be back to the park.

Lots of different trails to explore. Fun for the whole family, including pets.

This is a hidden gem! Love it!

Great place for lunch,family...

Alum Springs is a great park tucked away. Beautiful scenery. Picnic area and playground great for families. Trials are great too just make sure to wear the right shoes ;)

Gorgeous park & Great for the Kids & Exercising. Love the Nature

Nice park with a small river and small cliffs. A lot of trees provide shade from the sun. Kids play in the river. A rather relaxing atmosphere. For a hike or even a bike tour the park is too small.

Fun park to check out if you like quiet walks along the river. Take your pets to meet friends at a new place. This park has everything with barbecue grills,trails, parking, pavilions, and rapid water flowing down the river with tranquil sounds like you’ll fined nowhere else. One of the best features of this park is that enter you actually drive through part of the river which is how the driveway is designed.

Glorious. Come for the waiter, stay for the petrified wood.

Very nice family park with pavilions, playgrounds, or at least playground equipment, a wonderful stream and trails that will entertain kids 4 hours.

This is truly a beautiful place to escape for a few hours and great for all ages

Great place to take kids and adults alike. It has everything from woods to cliffs to a creek. For those bringing children, there is a pavilion and playground so the parents can relax while their kids burn off some energy. For those who enjoy biking/jogging, it is connected to a bike trail too!

Been coming here for years. Favorite park in town for a bike ride, walk, or letting the dog get soaking wet diving for sticks.

Although refreshing and surrounded by beautiful towering trees, there is slow progress to rebuild the park for the younger children. Only a swing set left after a damaging storm. A lot of Mother Nature to take in. Enjoy.

Love it! Nice and shaded. Truly a great time for adults and kids alike.

Love this park, so many trails, and 2 playsets. Has place to throw party if you want and grills and picnic tables, nice public bathroom as well

Cool place to have a picnic...very shady...trails and a stream too

Favorite park in Fredericksburg area. My favorite is the hiking trails which I frequently take my kids where we clamber down to one of the pebble beaches by the creek. The bike trail is one of the newest and nicest in town. The playground was fun, but was recently removed. Hope there are plans to replace.

Love this park! Shaded playground, walking trails to explore, and a wonderful creek with plenty of spots to play in the water! Perfect for kids of all ages!

Nice family park. We enjoyed the varying trails and landscape.

Most tranquil park youre gonna find in FRED. I absolutely love it here especially early morning when no one is there....the trails arent long but the spots along the creek bed and the exposed earth/rock walls are more than enough to recharge your soul and have you leaving much better than you came!

Beautiful little park clean and quiet!

Beautiful view

Great place to walk or ride bikes with your family.

Shaded and beautiful. Has some historical sites and a good playground with hiking trails

Nice place take your dog let play in the water

Somewhat busy on a nice summer day, but a great place to take kids wading with some excellent hiking.

The setting is still beautiful. Its still pretty cool to drive your car through the water to get to the parking lot. Its a huge disappointment that all of the playground equipment except 1 row of 4 swings is gone. I hope there is a plan to restore the playground.

Has a nice walking trail, playground, picnic tables and grills.

BEST PARK IN AREA, DONT MISS THIS ONE!!!

My family and I come here any chance we can. We luv nature. Theres bathrooms, which most parks dont have, water fountain, bike trail, nature trail, and best of all, theres water for everyone to splash around in.

The park is a lot of fun. There are several walking trails along the stream, a picnic area and other things to do. There is also access to paved trails. The only reason it doesnt get 5 stars is because the playground has been removed for some reason. Hopefully the install a new playground.

It was okay.. I didnt get to see it all.

Very muddy after Rain but fun swimming and trail walking

Small, beautiful spot that attaches to the train trail.

There were so many yellow jackets at every table that we had to leave. It seemed like everyone was having the same problem.

Great place to get in touch with nature. All ages can enjoy! Perfect place for photos!

Amazing park with lots of outdoor trails and creek

One of my favorite places to walk! The trails are paved and fairly well maintained. Im delighted they finally opened the rest of the trails, so I think from one point of the trail to the other end, its about 3 miles and that doesnt count doubling back. I could be wrong.Overall, you can explore off the trails and be relatively safe doing so. Ive never had any issues with this location.

Love this place so sad tge playground is gone

Great place to enjoy a walk with the kidos

Alum park is great. Fantastic trails lead you to water in just about every area if you want to get wet. Great for the kiddies too as there are also small wading pools throughout. My dogs like it here as it keeps them out if the hot sun. Lots of shade.

Nice park with nice trails

Great fish, ate all the jerky.

Best place to take your dogs!

The cleanest park in Fredericksburg. Beautiful trails and never too busy.

I love this place

A nice place to walk with family or friends

Nice place to take a walk by the creek. Trails are open.

The trails are great no matter what time of year it is but really disappointing the playground for the kids has not been replaced and they have nothing else to play on.

Enjoyed our hike and wading in the stream.

Bringing back memories of my childhood. Great park for families.

Beautiful Park to visit with family

Great park, nice trails, steam for kids to play in, etc

Very nice adventurous place.

I love that you have to drive through a creek to get to the park. Park is clean and cozy sized

Very quiet, I fed the squirrels.

Very nice and peaceful park. Went there just to park and relax for a while and it was perfect! Hidden gem in midst of Fredericksburg.

While the scenery was pretty, the smell was awful and there is no playground up at this time so we were expecting more. Though there were plenty of trash cans there was still a significant amount of trash and cigarette butts along the trail we walked along.

A nice park the walking trails are well kept and the woods are beautiful.

Great little park!We enjoyed or hike there, lots of little paths, lots of people with kids too!To get to the main parking lot youll have to drive through water which is a fun experience of its own.There is a pavilion for events to rent. When we were on our walk people had a graduation party there.Theres also bathrooms, a vending machine, and a playground with swings and slides. Half of it was closed because of some broken parts.

Get off the paved trail and drop down by the creek. Sandstone cliffs and rocks make it a nice little retreat.

Went there for my RC trucks. Just used the front lot area but super clean and not too busy. Will be going back again this weekend.

Beautiful and peaceful. Great place to burn a few hours with the family. Well kept park along the Rappahannock River with plenty to explore.

Peaceful outdoor park

Great kid friendly spot.

Great place to go for a walk with my fur baby..

Odin and I love the trails and the water!

Beautiful spot in the midst of a busy town.

We love coming here in the summer to cool down in hazel run!

The park is right off the main roads, but doesnt feel like it which is great. The scenery is beautiful and the playground is good size. Though we didnt stay long, there does look to be some good trails in the park too. Great place for kids who like being outdoors!

One of my fav parksStill waiting for them to put up playground like they used to have thereLove the trails and water

Great spot to walk along the creek and look at nature
