Playground was closed but can still walk, jog, or run the trails. Very friendly people there and its especially beautiful during the fall. My family and I had a great time today.

This is an awesome park! Make sure to visit here if you have kids! They still have one of those old wood playgrounds that are super duper fun!

My kids love this place... you can walk or sit and read a good book... its nice

Nice trails for a walk or running (as long as you dont want to run more than 3 miles or so). Has a great playground, tennis courts, and a basketball court. Is not too crowded most of the time.

This is our absolute favorite park weve ever come across! Its within walking distance if our apartment, which makes it even better! Theres many walking/running paths, a beautiful wooden playground for kiddos, tennis courts, a baseball field, a pond where you can fish, and endless areas of greenery to run around or have a picnic! Ive even seen people set up hammocks between the trees. This is a perfect place to come for some relaxation or an afternoon picnic. Hours of entertainment for kids (and you!) Another plus is that youre bound to run into people walking their dogs, and 99% of those people will let you snuggle them! (Free therapy, amirite?)

Still one of Harrisonburgs nicest parks with picnic shelters, basketball court, walking/running track and workout stations.

Nice walking path, tennis courts, and picnic shelter.

Nice, clean park. Decent trails to walk on. Kids loved to watch the water and the ducks. It would be a nice place for a picnic.

Nice couple gravel and paved trails. Great to ride my Onewheel around

Nicely maintained. No open bathrooms.

Always a nice place for a walk or lunch. With available parking attached to the various amenities; tennis, kids castle... speaking if the castle, its closed as are the swings.

Amazing park in the Harrisonburg City. Free tennis courts, play area, pond, jogging track, restrooms, picnic area with grills

Average trail. I use it for a 5k quickie practice.

I enjoy it

Great place to get some activity in!

Nice park, quiet, great for jogging or taking a walk.

Nice little place to get outside

Having our wedding here.

LOve this place its my neighbor

Beautiful and not too crowded

It is a good place to good with ur kids and have a good picnic

Great trails. Open space. Photo shoots happening every time I go. Easy to access from different sides. Overall great park.

I absolutely loved the large dog walking area! Well kept up Park, beautifully well-kept lawn and grounds.

One of my favorite parks !!! They have a concrete/ gravel trail you can walk on . i believe it is a mile if not more long. Also have shelters with picnic tables ! Grills are around as well. The kids play Ground could be updated though they still have the castle made up of wood some places arent in the best condition.

Great for riding bikes with the kids

While Im not a big fan of wooden playgrounds this one is absolutely amazing. Definitely for boys and girls who want to get lost in their imagination. Some kids were even playing hide and seek and there ALOT of places to hide :).

I grew up going to this park! I have much love for it. Great for family parties or to go for a walk or a run! Fantastic atmosphere for all ages and groups!

Great place to walk. Lots of children playing on the playground. Lots of people taking advantage of the wide open spaces

Nice park. Children arent always visible because of wooden structure. You have to be diligent in keeping up with them.

We stopped on a family trip along I-81. There is a nice wooden playground structure which our toddler enjoyed. The paintings inside of it were a nice touch. However, the slides are made of a material that gets VERY hot. I would recommend changing them out for a better material, as some child will likely get hurt on them.The picnic tables were nice and there was shade to be found. The bathrooms were fine. There is a diaper changing station in the women’s restroom, but not in the men’s.Also, there are several different parking lots. Google maps doesn’t take you to the best parking lot for the playground area.

Huge park and family friendly. Usually very well kept. . Unfortunately a lot of the park is gravel and makes it tough to roll strollers through.

This is one park that is still as awesome now as it was in the 90s when I was a kid!! I made tons of memories here as a kid and now my kids are as well!!

I loved big shout out the Harrisonburg Little league and to the Phillies and Couch Mike

Great park. Very well maintained. I have been going here since I was a little boy(I miss the airplane) and now I am taking my grandchildren.

Awesome its like a wood castle lol its really cool I went there on a feild trip once I go often

Not the most fantastic park in the world, definitely lots of bugs and not too many options besides hiking around on the trails. We enjoyed a cookout and the kids loved the park. It seemed like a friendly neighborhood and kept very clean for visitors.

Nice venue , lots of equipment for kiddos and awesome walking trails!

Beautiful walking trails, variety of play area for all different actvites.

Always enjoy bringing my daughter here to play on the playground.

Decent park! Good walking trails mostly paved out crushed gravel. The playground is fun too!

A great park. Has something for everyone.

This is a great park for families and dogs! We play tennis on the courts, walk the dogs in the grass and ride bikes on the multi-use trail. I especially like to see the casual soccer games the teens and young adults play in the late afternoons.

Love the playground, and Im happy they are repairing it. I just wish it was happening faster.

It was awesome,,!!

Lovely, long walking trail. Well maintained.

We have stopped by this park on our way to Maine before and we LOVE it! My kids love the wooden play structure!

Great place to walk, with nice hills and plenty of flat areas. I’ve walked here shortly after a storm and there weren’t really any puddles. The paths are either gravel or paved; there’s also a small track. Relatively clean bathrooms, great playground, lots of grass. Parking is good; a few lots in different areas. There’re a couple small places I’ve seen people fishing with their kids. Tennis courts are available. There’re at least two pavilions. I see a lot of people walk their dog(s) here. It’s a nice, clean, quaint park.

This is the neatest little castle park! My daughter absoutely loved it.

Nice long walking trails around the park. Little tree coverage so it can get hot but its a nice walk despite that

Fun and relaxing with lots of trails and paths. Not well irrigated and floods a lot. Its fun to come and hammock by the pond.

My wife and I enjoyed our walk around this very nice park

Lovely park with lots of open space, a walking path, and a large Kids Castle.

Wonderful park. Great playground for kids. Wasnt crowded and shelter was clean.

Lots of pathways and open fields. Picnic shelter, restrooms, ballfield, soccer field, basketball, tennis, and a very large and intricate wooden play unit for children. Jogging and walking are popular. Very nicely built and maintained. Can get a little soggy after heavy rain.

When the BIG Sign has the Hours when you may be in the park & you totally dont see it (Almost infront of your vehicle) You might be a redneck!!! OBEY HOURS OF OPERATION!!! TRUST ME!!! ;)

I wish the playground was acceptable. They seem to have been doing construction at some point but stopped. The rest of the park is accessible though. The trail is good for running and bike riding.

Purcell is a lovely Park on the southeast end of Harrisonburg. There is a long walking path, its dog friendly (leash required), playground, picnic tables, a pond, and lots of space to spread a blanket and relax.

My #2 favorite park in Harrisonburg, there are some nice walking trails and a beautiful stream-side setting. However, there is a lot of highway noise on the side of the park close to Interstate 81. I would also warn you it can get a bit crowded, particularly if there is a game of softball or baseball happening on the fields there.

Love this park. Great place to take kids to the playground there. Nice walking, jogging, bicycling trail. Beautiful lake.

Cold day, but still good !

Nice and quiet place

Good place for kids and there is a small pond for catching fish ... but release them after ;) I love it !

The port-a-john was icky, but everything else was fine. I like that theyve fixed the park up a bit. Now, if only something could be done about the flooded parts.

Enjoyed walking the trail around the park

Its fantastic for joggers, biking, walking dogs etc. There is one very pretty wooden playground structure but it doesnt keep kids interest for a very long about of time. Id say if your family is the out doorsy type youd enjoy it, but with children, do not expect to spend more than 1.5-2 hours here. Id also suggest taking the trail around the pond first, eating lunch at one of the designated areas, then playing last on the play ground to stretch the length of your visit given your childrens attention span.

Love this park. Always clean, love the nature.

Nice park, just a little bit to spread out. It was difficult to find the playground area.

This park is fantastic by far the best outdoor park in Harrisonburg for kids. Right now it is under construction in August 2018. but there is a great picnic area covered grills huge wooden playground for kids of all ages lots of parking. Heaven for kids on a nice day

Go green. If you use it dont abuse it!

It is strange driving past the skate rink to get to the field but once you are here is is all fun in the sun.

Very nice park, good walking trail. Kids activities.

Great tennis courts and gravel walking path

Poor drainage caused ponding in many areas. Walking trail is paved/graveled and fairly well maintained. Nice playground for the kids, but it was being used by college kids when I was here. Several picnic areas and shelters and ball fields. I greeted several other walkers here, but none of them acknowledged or gave eye contact. Made me feel a bit uncomfortable as to why. Hard to believe this is the friendly city.

Mother Nature has set up home in theMiddle of our Friendly City! So peacefuland comforting!

Great trails for running or biking. Also have the castle for kids to play.

Mulberry trees. Nice pond, a stream with several bridges across. Really big.

Its a great place to go out and have fun with friends or family.

I had my birthday parties here as a kid and recently took my son and its just how I remember it. It is always very clean, there are tons of trash cans and easily accessible bathrooms. The castle has been very well maintained over the last almost 30 years Ive been going. There are multiple parking lots to get you as close to where you want to be as possible.

My son had so much fun

Great trail and playground

Very nice park with plenty of open area.

Nice clean quiet...needs double grills at the shelters though

This park is awesome and beautiful for pics

Its a family friendly park. Most everyone is very nice. A great place to take your kids, so they can make friends and playmates. Its been there forever. I love taking my kids there because I remember it from when I was little. It brings back lots of memories. And now Im making memories with my little ones. Plus there are lots of trees around and also a hiking/walking trail, and a baseball field.

The kids had a fantastic time playing

Great city park with a nice multi-use path, fun play equipment for the kids, a pond, picnic shelters, space for soccer, tennis, basketball.

Beautiful as always

Kids enjoyed the payground

Local park with plenty of diverse space for solitude and activity

Nice place to clear your head

I have lived by this park all my life. They have taken a lot out of it that I used to enjoy when I was younger. I still think this is the best park in Harrisonburg, but I do wish they would put some of the playground things back. Great place for walking your dogs as well.

Great place to take the kids to play or just to go for a walk.

Pretty, spacious, and great walking paths.

It is good and safe for the whole family.

The tennis courts were great

Great place to take the family, pets -everybody. If you like to run,cookout, relax,pets have a FUN DAY, go there. Walking trails,pond, covered areas.

Beautiful Family Park. Walk your Dogs on a Leash Only. There is a Huge Wooden Castle that was built for children to Play ..Softball fields and Walking Trails.

Great place to stroll, walk the dog, or take the kids for fun exercise!

Beautiful and spread out. Love the childrens play castle and all the flat land to play on. Dogs are welcomed and it even has a small pond. Definitely a fun place for the whole family.

My Favorite Park since My Childhood. Its been around a LONG Time!!They have Shelters near - Bathrooms Men/Women and The Wooden Castle w children of All ages have Fun playing for hours. Great Trails. Handicap Parking. Tennis Courts. Softball Fields.
