Runnymede Park

Runnymede is an excellent local park that links up to the extensive Sugarland Run trail system. Theres a lot of free parking and the trails are mostly well kept up. There are a lot of dirt trails but the park does a good job of keeping overgrowth off of them. Miles and miles of trails and beautiful sights will greet you everywhere you look. If you live in Herndon or Reston and have been looking for a local place where you can go hiking and exploring for hours, this is your park.

The picnic tables are nice for a COVID breakfast outing. Far from people, not crowded. The trails are not paved, so if its wet, they get muddy. Lots of water near the trails, so it puddles up in the trail. Cant wait to go back with either get dirty shoes or a dry day.

Great trails for a nice walk in the afternoon such a beautiful nature for good pictures!

Close by, easy access, wooded trails near the stream.

Nice park to pick up the Sugarland run trail. Not so crowded and great for dogs.

Its a nice park just off the beaten path. Quiet place thats perfect for sunbathing and evening picnics.

Just off the loop with a cool pavilion

Pleasant dog-friendly park

Love this place!Great place to walk and get some exercise outdoors!I love taking my kids hereAnd we live taking the dogs too!Just all-round awesome place!

Easy parking. Nice stores.

Small but nice place

Our family (two young kids) had fun adventuring here. The absent 5th star is simply due to the brevity if the trails. Part of that may have been impacted by the sewer pipe being laid which added an unpleasant aroma and overlaid/blocked some paths. Regardless, the rest of what we explored was fun.

I love Runnymede Park. Ive been going there for years. Its a nice combination of paved and trails. I go running there, and you can go for miles with all the trails that connect to the park. Really beautiful. I have two new puppies, and theyre learning to live it too!

Beautiful park. Love the trails!

A nice little park with picnic tables and little creek to walk along.

Not much for the kids to play

Small park with several trails that are adjacent to Sugarland Run. There is a covered picnic area off of the Herndon Parkway with a butterfly garden and some small grassy spots. Great park for a short walk to see beautiful nature or to walk the dog.

Went to NatureFest at Runnymede ParkGreat event as always. Good family fun for everyone.

It was a very good place . I liked the park. Nice & Clean.

Nature trails near a stream. No frills, just nature.

Love running through this trail

Great park. My wife and I went on an amazing 2 hour walk and loved it.

This place features nature walking trails and a stream. You can explore all of the trails in about an hour. The woods are kind of dense all around you and some of the trails are narrower than others. This trail doesnt seem to be regularly maintained and sometimes there are downed trees crossing over the paths. This park offers placards featuring info on some of the insects and plants you may see while there. And there is a small flower garden you can walk through. There is also a water fountain for people and one that is at drinking height for a dog. There is a part of the park which has picnic benches under a pavillion. At the edge of one of the parks trails there is a public swimming pool, a playground, a basketball court and tennis courts but I dont know if theyre associated with Runnymede Park or not. There is also another trail system connected to another edge of the park where people can ride bikes and walk or run, but riding your bike through Runnymede to get there isnt advisable as Runnymede can be extra soggy, tree obstructed, and rocky in places. You will have good cell phone service while youre here.

Nice trails! Super easy to navigate!

Long quiet trail.

Cool place in middle of Herndon

I went for the fall native plant sale. I need to get back into the trails.

Cool woodsy trails with oodles of nature, rocks to leap on, and a small stream to hop across...I would say these teeny trails are more for walkers than for runners, though it does have a close connection to the Sugarland Run road trails! Havent taken my pooch here yet, but seems pretty pup-friendly!

Great park but caution icy and slippery mud in places!

It has nice trails for walking and jogging. They are only partially paved and because they are close to the stream, can get muddy and swampy.

Enjoyed our walk around the park, with the many trails and bridges and rocks and creek views and geocaches. Trails varied widely: regular paved, wide dirt, wide paved, crushed something, narrow windy dirt, open meadow. Really needs another east-west creek crossing or two. All the way around takes a long time. Very thankful today for the maps, directional trail signs, water fountain, and - most of all - the doggie water fountain.

Nice little park with some easy trails, several Pokemon stops

A city park that does not look like a city park!

I used to play here when I was a kid before it was a park. My mom organized a protest with the neighborhood kids holding up homemade signs at the city council meeting when they were starting construction on Herndon Parkway. I live far away now, but Im glad this park still exists. It is a magical place!

Really nice place

Very nice and well kept.

Great smaller park for picnics, and natural terrain hiking. Has a great orienteering course too!

Nice trails and wildflowers, when in season. Descent trails along the river. Few restrooms. Uneven trails throughout. Sometimes muddy

Very muddy today but dog loved it. Then he jumped in the brook and got all clean.

Great place to hike along Sugarland Run.

Been coming here since I was a kid, its close and secluded

Just love it

Beautiful and clean

My favorite place for daily dog walks

My all time fav park

Quiet retreat

Very nice
