Very nice park. Family had a blast. Although muddy from the last rain was still very nice. Large soccer fields. Nice picnic and grill areas lined down the river. Multiple river access points but steps are great! Didnt check out the restroom facilities but will update when we do.Will definitely come back again!

Amazing place only an hour from the DC area. The park was clean and everyone followed social distancing, for the most part. Worth the trip and lots of fun in the river. Make sure you bring water shoes, food, and plenty of excitement, youll love the it!

The biscuits with sausage gravy and potatoes with peppers and onions, are simply amazing. The bacon flavored deviled eggs are not with the money. Service was great, loved it

A nice park with shelters, a playground, tables, grills, trails, restrooms, informational plaques, and lots of green space. There is also easy access to the river to swim. Parking can be very limited on busy days. Also... if you litter you are the scum of the earth. Pick up your trash there are garbage and recycling cans everywhere.

Nice outdoor space. Playground. Close to the water and a nice trail. It does get a little wet and swampy on the field

Parking lot is okay. Public restrooms. Play area for kids. Mowed grass fields. Rappahannock River is scenic. I would park here and run or walk (some folks bike) on the Heritage Trail and with the Canal Trail makes a loop of about 3 miles. It is wide enough for two lanes and marked for social distancing. I think it is okay for wheel chairs but there are some hills. Plenty push strollers though.

It is a nice small park with lots of trees around the playground area that keeps it in the shade. Theres a Baseball field, Tennis Court and big parking lot located in a nice neighborhood

Really nice park that was not treated well by recent rains and flooding. Nice quiet trails, utilized quite a bit by trail cyclists. Playground was loud, crowded and fun today. Families picnicking and some visitors on solitary rambles

Very nice park. It has access to the Rappahannock River. Also the Rappahannock River Heritage bike trail runs right by it. Unfortunately, major road repairs are ongoing on Caroline St. so we were not able to access the park by car, only by bike.

This is a great park. There is so much to do here! Its a great place to take kids for an outing, and a great place to take the dogs. You can also sometimes find events going on at the park too. #LetsGuide

My family and I all had so much fun. My husband cooked on the provided grill while I watched my kids play at the skate park on their bike (that we got my son Chris for his 7th bday) and skateboards the kids received for getting good grades... Me celebrated my sons 7th bday and even his great grandmother had fun watching our kids and others skate play and everyone helping one another to achieve goals and learn new tricks even strangers became friends

Eric from Walmart suggested this location. The children are overjoyed! The area is beautiful and the play area is superb. I cant wait to add more photos with my 6Dmkii and make some memories in this gem of a place. Thank you again you awesome local kind-hearted people.

Overall nice park. However, the amount of trash left around the facility was a little disappointing. I dont understand why trash cannot be carried back from the park location; and deposited in a trash can.

As much as I love this park, theyve made some questionable decisions on its uptake. Then again, Im not a part of the city council. The bathrooms are usually dirty and they took down the pavillion in the corner of the massive field. They also got rid of the trashcan beside the playground for whatever reason so now people throw their trash onto the ground. Other than that, its a large park with a soccer field and frisbee area. The playground is friendlier to 4 and up but its very nice.

Nice park. Stopped and ate breakfast while roadtripping. A few sketchy looking old heads hanging out though. There was plenty of traffic passing through, families and joggers. So that made me feel more comfortable.

Review №63

Nice and clean area. Its got a sort of murdery feeling about the place I cant put my finger on. Theres random culverts and fencing around certain parts of the park due to a few converging waterways, but other than that it looks quite nice. Bathrooms didnt look very appealing but I didnt go inside.

We love the Old Mill Park. Right on the Rappahannock River, and the Rappahannock Heritage Trail goes right along it.Nice kids playground, restroom facilities, and pavilions available, and even a small kayak/canoe ramp. Also right down river from Virgina Outdoor Center, where you can rent tubes or boats and ride down the river to the park. VOC picks up at the park.Its also just across the river from the John Lee Pratt park in Stafford.

Im not sure if I saw a juvenile bald eagle or an osprey dive into the river 3 times today. On the third time, it had a large, silver fish in its talons when it flew away!! What an awesome sight!!! I wish I had bright binoculars. I also saw a bald eagle and 2 osprey just sitting in a tree. Bring your binoculars!!!

Review №79

Not a lot of shady areas to.park which is disappointing since when I was a kid the whole area was densely wooded. I used to play with my friends up and down the river and that whole area. Designing that place by removing all of the old growth trees was a shame bordering on incompetence. I see now they are planting trees I guess because they realized it was a screwup. I wont live long enough to see the benefit of the new plantings. Hopefully my grandkids will.
