1st time back in a few years due to moving but this park has made some nice upgrades over time. There are now 2 play areas. Love seeing teenagers being kids and playing some friendly fun basketball at this park as well. Along the path there are options to take explorer path and these are great for hikers, not so great for bicycles. The main path is really good for bikes with very few stairs along path.
Friendly diverse crowd and kept clean and well maintained.Perfect for easy stroll and pups too.Do yourself a favor and take the time to get some fresh air open space,, dont limit yourself to home out of fear of getting unwell, isolation makes you more sick than many diseases, and a mask cant cure loneliness, or much else for that matter
My family loves this park. It has had a upgrade with more play equipment. The paths that run through the park lead to a water area that has a bridge to cross. You can walk run or ride your bike. The scenery is very beautiful and relaxing.The only thing that i could think to make this park absalutley perfect is more sitting areas around the play equipment areas.
Clean, well kept trail with options for inclined terrain as well as floating trail on waterfront . Also a historical landmark.
Like all Chesterfield parks its gorgeous. At least to playgrounds for young people. Marsh Trail needs a little work pontoon bridge is submerged.
Beautiful park. It has a little bit for everyone. Whether you like sports, hiking, fishing or having parties outdoors this park has got you covered. Ive enjoyed many visits over the past two years and only thing I can point out is that occasionally the boardwalk across the lake floods and makes the passing imposible. Other than that highly recommend
This park is amazing. So many things to do. You can hike, you can fish or you can walk or sit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Great for kids. I highly recommend it.
We brought our grandkids and they loved both of the playgrounds and the boardwalk was fun to walk on.
Great park. This park, as far as I can tell, has the tallest slides in the Chesterfield County Park system! My children love the playground. Then there is the marsh. If you find your way down to the floating walkway, you are in for a treat. Lovely views and walk. Careful if you bring a stroller as some parts are difficult.
This park has a nice play area for kids. Also lots of trials to walk and a nice over the river path walk path leads to the other side of the park. Its a very nice park to get out of the house on a not so hot day.
Nice weather. A little cool and windy but great to be outside to enjoy the weather.
Love the scenery. While getting exercise
Well marked trails, viewing platforms, floating walkways, and marshes typifies what makes walking this area so enjoyable. Whenever possible venture off the main path (white) to the Adventure Trail and the Yellow Trail. Both of these will lead you into less used and more scenic areas. To locate: drive to the back of the park to the playgrounds. The trailhead begins beyond them. It a short, easy hike which can be extended by going off the beaten path. Good for families w young children.
Quiet place to relax your mind let kids run free.
2nd visit. First time was to the playground. I love how it has 2 playgrounds with different side slides drums underneath.(the playgrounds are cool) I really like how the benches are closer to the playground so you can actually sit and watch if you wanted to. Today I walked the trails with 4 kids husband and a dog. Nice scenery. HOWEVER I did get lost trying to find the exit, I do not read rectangle and arrow guides. But it all worked out just back tracked. It would be a lot better with arrows pointing to let you know how to get back. My son found a rva rock art he was ecstatic about!
Very pleasant walk in the park so to speak, but more of a woodsie experience.
A small pocket of beauty! There is also a few areas for different sports. Also a small woodland branching trail near the river that takes you to the boardwalk.
Good safe place. Needs more lights for nighttime though.
Very beautiful! Just be sure to bring the bug repellent! Should be obvious for anyone visiting a park built on a marsh, but we didnt think of it, and regretted it! If not for that, it would have been wonderful!
Very nice park enjoyed walking over the floating boardwalk. Kids loved the playgrounds.
Cool place, lots of kids having fun and theres a reason why its called point of rocks for any RockHounds
Nice athletic fields and fun playground for the kids. Water fountains are in short supply, so bring your own water. The standout feature is the floating bridge through the marshland. It is a moderate hike that requires up and down a nicely maintained trail.
Wonderful park! The playground is very nice and very well kept. The trails are amazing and the trees are huge! The marsh is beautiful, I cant wait to come back in the spring to see it green. The floating marsh walk was my favorite!!!
Great walking trails and play areas for the kids!
Nice trails. Good place to take family for a walk or picnic
Cute lil park with a cool trail, I love walking My dogs here
Beautiful park that is mostly shaded. And trails to walk as well
A great place to take kids and very scenic !
Definitely need to do some work on the basketball court side of things
Nice, clean park for walking. I imagine if you have children theyd enjoy the play areas. The marsh walk on the river is pretty cool.
Pretty good park with a few swings and 2 playgrounds next to each other: one for smaller kids, the other for bigger kids. Restroom is a little way away from the playgrounds, but glad they even have them available. Wish there were more picnic tables near the playground and more swings.
Looove this park. Right down the road from me. They always have at least 2 ice cream trucks there too lol
Great place to go walking on the trail
I will go here so much more. This place has wonderful spaces and is very multi-purpose. The new natural play ground was a fantastic surprise and wonderful for my soon to be 2 year old. Love it!
Absolute hidden gem of Chester, VA. Love it!
Beautiful park, great being outdoors.
The playground area was awesome although I didnt get to try the trail yet! Also if anyone plays pokemon go it has 2 stops and a gym near the playground
Safe well-kept park.
It is a really nice park with fun trails and a cool bridge!!
Unexpected gem in Chesterfield. Ive lived here long enough and in several different places to say Im being honest when I say Chesterfield sucks. Compared to other places Ive lived this place simply sucks HOWEVER I was pleasantly surprised when my husband, my kids and I stumbled upon this park one day when we were picking random green areas on Google maps. At first it seemed like any other park with a walking trail but then we saw the floating board walk from a lookout. If Chesterfield would have more places like this and teach their residents how to drive and be friendly, maybe Chesterfield wouldnt be on my list.
Great trails to walk alone, with a group, or with family. Bird watching overlooks, and a marsh walk on a floating bridge. We have gone here for years and we loved it when our kids were small because they could enjoy the forest without getting lost. There is a lot of picnic tables, play ground, basketball court, tennis, and soccer fields. There is indoor bathrooms and the grounds are kept very clean. There is also Pokemon gyms and stops on the grounds if you play Pokemon Go. RVA Rocks also hides painted rocks here for you to find and rehide or keep. All around a wonderful place.
Love visiting this park and the trail has a beautiful marsh can walk over
Nice big area for types of sports
All I can say is if I were a kid again, the playground here would be my fav.
Nice park with a variety of trails (dirt to paved). Its a little barren in the winter - need to go back in the summer as Im sure the marsh would have a variety of wildlife. The floating bring is a neat way to get out into the marsh. Ample parking.
Good place
Great place for a hike! Trails are nice with some rustic trails thrown in for interest.
Great place for solitude.
Its a nice place, safe, plenty for kids of all ages to do and explore. Several playgrounds and miles of walking trails that includes a Marsh walk.
Huge amazing woods
Took the kids for the first time. Had a great time view was great
Beautiful natural scenery and a peaceful atmosphere
Awesome trails and playground. They have also another playground that theyre adding to the wooded area once you get through the trails which Im really excited about but you know its under construction right now not sure how long itll take but I cant wait
My dog and I walked the trail, but the park does has other things to offer. Keep in mind that snakes have gone not gone in for the season.
Have spent many an afternoon here with the kids. The trails are extensive and well marked. They wind down to the marshes as well. The playground is just enough to keep them occupied and are clean and well maintained. Have been to B-day party at one of the pavilions and they are a great place for large gatherings. Bathrooms are good. Catch a ball game here as well!
Wonderful discovery! Our community park was closed to build a school in its grounds. No walking distance parks for us! But this park is awesome. Shelters nature walk trails, diversified childrens play area... tidal marshes on the Chesapeake Bay Basin... Wow!
I walk here every morning and the bathroom is always dirty. Also, there is a bunch of visible trash in the woods and along the trails. Lets get it picked up. Otherwise, nice park.
We love this park and the adventurous trails.
Was very happy to see a tennis wall
Nice park kept clean and well maintenance. My kids have a blast here. They have areas to have a large gathering and still have plenty of room for the kids to run and play.
Great park for walks or a run. Has some nice fishing spots. Great place for a picnic then a walk along the trails
This place is very Serene different areas of the park your children can play in one area you and your husband might walk hand-in-hand another one you feed ducks in one area very clean and its in the suburban part.
Great little park for a hike thats not too far out of the way. There is some serious terrain here and the boardwalk is a beautiful time. Id live to come here in the winter and see the changes. My pup also had a good time. Overall a very good stop and great views and exercise.
It is wonderful.
Nice environment! Played basketball!
A wonderful place to walk and enjoy great scenery, play sports, jog, and take the kids to the playground
Great place to appreciate Gods colorful world
Lovely park. Nice and serene with plenty of different trails to enjoy. Very clean.
Another wonderful park. We enjoy walking the trails.
Great park for fishing, walking trails, all sport venues, BBQs, pets and places for young kids to play... This is a gem in Chesterfield County...
Beautiful trail!
An amazing recreational park!
The play ground is well maintained there are walking trails that take you down to the water there ate tennis and basketball courts pavilions for parties baseball fields soccer and football fields
Beautiful place and we loved the floating docks. The scenery was great. A bunch of teens running around though.
Great set up for picnic outings! Would have been nice to have a restroom and access to running water closer to shelter. Nearest one was a few hundred yards away near ballfields
This is a quiet, clean, fun park, for the entire family to enjoy. (Now that you know, please dont ruin it.)
Nice clean park with attractive nature trails and big playground for children
.its great for outdoor activity. nature trails, some trails are steap but have graveled and paved pathways. the floating marsh bridge was great for the kids. would be great if it had a dock for fishing for the kids. picnic shelter, volley ball court, soccer field, tennis, basketball, play ground and rest rooms was excellent and clean.
Great place to just out and enjoy nature
Trail is very peaceful
Went to walk on the floating boardwalk but did not realize it was on a tidal marsh. It was low tide hence not floating. My error. Next time Ill go during high tide. Very nice.
Great park..a lot to explore. Most of the trails are improved and the boardwalk is a nice plus. Be sure to bring bug spray no matter the time of day.
Love this park. I have been bringing my grandkids here for the past five years.
Nice childrens play area. Children need to be taught to follow rules. There was trash on the ground eventhough there were several trashcans... Teach your children well.
Nice place for a walk/hike. Trash cans. Bathrooms, lots of playing fields.
Great park. Great trails2 great playgrounds. Gazebos with benches. Basketball courts, volleyball net, other sports fields.
Great hiking and playgrounds for the kids
Love this place. Kept up well with great trails for my dog and a cool floating walk way
Little hidden treasure. Wonderful spot for a short afternoon walk straight down to the pier or you can take the upper side with the fitness path,which is still going to lead you down to the river. Great spot to observe wildlife. Small pavilions here and there for picnics and grilling. Fun place for small children.
Wonderful place. Great for walking dogs and bringing kids to walk or run around with. Ive been going to this place every since Ive lived here, the place never gets old. The community that monitors the park does a great job doing so. New pathways, resting areas and other parts of the park are added quite often.
Just beautiful
Good place for picnics, children, nature trails, baseball, football basketball & soccer fields. Good idea to call chesterfield parks & recreation to reserve picknick pavilions ahead of time to ensure you get one when you want it.
