Gorgeous, expansive location. A ton of trails to walk alone, with your family, your dog, plus I have even seen horses been ridden there too. Well maintained grounds, very clean, although I didnt see any trash cans around but we took our trash home with us anyway. Worth noting professional photographer need a permit to take pics here. It was gorgeous on this fresh fall day.

This is a well maintained park. Many hiking trails and horse trails as well. Very clean and tranquil. The historic houses (by paid fee to visit inside) are interesting and the tour guides are knowledgeable. There are many activities that go on throughout the year here, but hiking is available year round and is by far my favourite thing about the park.

Wow, didnt even know anything about this landmark until we sort of wandered in on a weekend. What a wonderful estate to visit with the well taken care of grounds, hiking trails and museums. Going to have to visit a few more times to get the full experience but Im sure it will be one of those places we will frequent.

Me and my family love coming to Morven Park, but I just wish the “sidewalks” and areas that are gravel were a little more stroller friendly! It’s a little hard to push a stroller around on the gravel but besides that we always have a good time !

Awesome neighborhood hike trail. Easier if you hike clockwise around the loop.

This park is AMAZING! Polo in the Park, held every Saturday in summer, is such a fun and affordable event! Be sure to bring plenty of water and food for your tailgate, it can get a little hot but itll definitely be a good time!

What a great place to visit and walk the grounds and see the historic mansion that was once the governors mansion a long time ago. Great history here and well worth the admission price.

While we are all in quarantine, my kids and I have been in search of any place where we can go for a walk and be out in nature. Morven park is a great place for this! Without vehicles allowed in the park, the long road up to the parking lot is now a big open place for people to walk, bike, and run. Its a great place for kids to get their energy out and enjoy the sunshine.

Loved this park. Beautiful grounds and a few walking hikes in the property. We didnt get to see the museums but tours are reasonably priced and all the staff we encountered were nice and informative. There was an event in the equestrian center and we got to see some horses jump around and do tricks. Well definitely come back to check out the museums once is cooler, this would be a great place to appreciate fall foliage.

Great place hidden away from the crowds near Ida Lee park in Leesburg, VA. Complex includes equestrian center, soccer fields, hiking trails, picnic areas, gardens, and the historic mansion. Look for the hill loop hiking trail past the carriage house.

This is a place my wife and I would come so many years ago and have picnics. We chose to get married here, however at that time there was a stipulation we had to have this terrible brewery cater the wedding. The food was SO bad, and I was told I (the groom) couldnt have chicken tenders (my favorite food that no self respecting restaurant can do wrong). The son of one of my groomsmen saved the day by bussing out chicken tenders to everyone. As a park I give it 5 stars. As a marriage venue I give it 4 stars. As a marriage venue with the stipulation I can only use a specific caterer I give it 1 star. Since their relationship with the brewery may have changed since it went out of business, I dont know what Id rate it, but make sure you have a 12 year old to step up and save the day just in case. Also, they keep sending my wife postage addressing her as Ms. You would think they would have a database for customers who were married there, and address them appropriately.

Went here for the ladies board rummage sale. Parking is ok, but early birds get to the back of the lot and move forward, odd. Many improvements to the site lately. Looks great. Id like to come here for an actual horse event.

Morven Park is a treasure in Loudoun County, beautiful location and grounds visit the mansion or bring a picnic and spend the afternoon surrounded by quiet, lush gardens or go for a hike in the nearby trails.The property itself is a true legacy worth seeing, I find it interesting to learn about how people lived in those days and how a small house became a mansion as owners changed hands.The Trust responsible for the upkeep of the property does a wonderful jobRecommended.

Nice gravel loop for xc style biking. If you look, you can find some roots to hit and little drops to spice it up a bit. When the weather is nice, lots of foot traffic and dogs so share the road.

Nice large grassy park with lots of open spaces.. they have a ton of equestrian events here like jumping. Every spring they have my favorite event - the native plant sale where various vendors come to sell plants that grow natively in virginia. The park is really nice for kids to run around in and theres a historic house you can visit too.

I am so lucky to live near this beautiful place. The rolling hills and multiple horizon lines, early morning mist and the chance of seeing the deer are the first thing I think of most mornings, motivating me to get moving. The carefully maintained trees offer a season-changing education as they change shape, color and smell. There are many other interesting aspects, such as the history, the tour of the lovely white columned house and athletic events involving horses and dogs as well as people, but the serenity of this place is the main offering.

The grounds and house are beautiful. They need to have more/better signage in regards to where to go. This is especially true for handicap persons. The website also needs to be clearer on the house tours time.

This is a humongous park in NW Leesburg, just down the street from Ida Lee. Does not have the same activities and structures that Ida Lee does, so if youre looking for somewhere to take your kids, Ida Lee is probably the better bet. But if youre looking for a more scenic place to walk/run or are looking for wildlife, this is your place. Its got beautiful rolling hills. Ive never seen it crowded, though the mansion does host weddings so Im sure that gets busy.Athletic fields and horse pens are on the North side of the park.Also, if youre looking for the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy, its in the SE corner by Fairview and Old Waterford Rd, not where the map shows.

The park itself was beautiful but the staff were never around for the tour through tge museum. We visited the website for tour times and arrived in plenty of time to enjoy a short walk through the garden. Tried 3 different times to buy tickets for the tour, doors locked and staff not around. Saw saw beautiful countryside but the drive out was pretty wasted.
