A good place for walking the stream trail. Walk lightly across to trail bridges. We loiter on one and were attacked by yellow jackets. Other than that, it was a great walk. Nice and woodsy for being in the city.

Plentiful parking in a gravel lot just off the roadway. A small playground is at the bottom of the hill with two small play areas by age with a good amount of benches and picnic tables available. There is a covered picnic area with a half dozen tables. There is a set of swings past the picnic shelter. Plenty of trails around the perimeter. The mens room was out of soap and the grass was in need of being cut.

This is a great place to exercise too you can do the hill next to the tennis courts meeting you can walk or run up and then do an exercise on the concrete pad plus it’s got great trails running in two different areas for your kids to play at the park! Check out the running trail as it cuts through to Virginia Western it’s a great cuts through for runs.I’m sold on this like I am selling houses!

The stream trail is a good warm up run but the Murray Run Greenway trail was a little hard to find and follow, could just had been me. Gorgeous area and if you cant find the trail the nearby neighborhoods are a good run as well haha

A good place to go to relax and enjoy the hikes. They also have a frisbee golf course if one is interested in playing

Very crowded. Most people we saw were not wearing face coverings. Grass was a bit high in case you had to get off the narrow path. To just sit in your vehicle and watch people, it was good.

Me (after parking the car): I dont know why people recommend this park for a hike.Me (after waking around the park): I cant wait to come back and explore some more!My first impression, the view from the parking lot and walking along Brambleton, was less than enthusiastic. But once we crossed the bridge where the Stream Trail starts, I loved it. There are more trails to explore than the map in the parking lot shows. The stream is lovely and peaceful. Brambleton traffic can still be heard, but it feels like you left it way behind. The loop walk is suitable for small children (but not strollers) because you can keep it to a mile and it is mostly flat. I cant wait to go back when there are leaves on the trees and explore the Hillside Trail.

Nice park with plenty of activities. Old 9 hole disc golf course still hanging on. Many different trails line the woods around the park, most of them are in the woods across the creek. There are 2 bridges crossing the creek at each end of the park. Kids playground with swings beside a shelter including multiple picnic tables and grill. Theres 2 tennis courts at top of park along with a newer picnic shelter. The Murray Run greenway runs through this park. There are bathroom facilities near the parking lot and down the hill beside the creek. This park will flood pretty bad with considerable rain creating dangerous conditions near the creek.

Looks can be deceiving. This park may look like a basic place where the only thing to do is play Frisbee golf or some other yuppie thing, but theres a surprisingly complex and interesting series of nature trails!

It is a nice park with plenty of walking trails. It also has a really nice playground set for 2-5 year olds and a separate set for older children. The only downside is that the walkway to the playgrounds from the parking lot is steep with a rutted gravel path. It is not recommended to bring a stroller down to the playgrounds.

Trails are clearly marked with spray paint and markers, but the map was a little frustrating to get a good grip on where everything was located. Beware of trails off the beaten path!

Simple little open space with a stream, shelter, a couple picnic tables, playground for toddlers and another for older kids. Several paths criss cross the park asking the steam and a spur goes to the Greenway. There is also a disc golf course. Only real drawback would be that the park sits much lower than the parking lot. If youre not very mobile this could limit your enjoyment.

I often get my exercise done at Fishburn Park. I come at random times during the week, never on a fixed schedule due to my work. I always come alone, because I enjoy exercising at my own pace. The park is such a nice park and I have grown to really like it. The people who come are always nice to me and say hello and wave. I will be coming to this park for a very long time.

Dont come here to play disc golf...geass was extremely high, goals in poor shape, no map to show where to start and I never seen in throw boxes....could be good if all these things were addressed....Im only speaking of the disc golf course, not the rest of park.

The frisbee golf course is completely overgrown. If you are not going to maintain it, take the course out.

Review №52

Great park that provides a playground with amenities for all elementary and preschool ages, picnic benches and shelter, swing area, creek and hiking trail access, easy access from anywhere in the city with a natural barrier to the street by being located at the bottom of a small valley. This is one of our favorite places to take our children so they can run and play as though they are in the middle of the country while being only a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk from our house in the city!

Trail leads back and forth over creek, another marked trail around perimeter on higher ground. Youd never know the depth just driving by...

Review №56

A great get away park from the normal everyday life or for just a simple walk to get out and moving. Trails for the family or those solo walks we all need from time to time. But dont just focused on the path ahead. There is a lot of beauty all year long. From bugs and plants to deer and birds of many kinds of songs. The entire experience is one big nature call to the ones who are just starting to hike. Enjoy every step you take and just make sure you take your disposables back with you to keep the experience as great for you as to others.

This park is very nice. It has a nice big hill for sledding, and a trail. We went in the snow, so we couldnt explore the trail. The creek is majestic and beautiful

Great park. There is a stream there which you can play in. There is some good hiking trails there. There is also a nice playground with a swing set. Also there is a pavilion there with grills. Lastly there is a good frisbee golf course there, it is pretty long but I dont know how many there are.

Fishburn Park is a great local park to take the kids or dog to. I have loved walking the trail through the woods since I was a kid. The pavilion at the bottom of the hill provides a place to escape the elements and enjoy some food. You can also enjoy a round of tennis on one of two available courts. Kudos to the city for fixing up the parking lot and for building new bathrooms and a second pavilion at the top of the hill!

This is a good place to bring kids or dogs, theres lots of green grasses to play in and you can see virtually everything from on top of the hill. They also have tennis courts which is great or if you just want to read and relax there are two pavilions that provide shade and a nice view.

Nice park. It has tennis courts, free parking lot, a playground, trail, covered pavilion, and disc golf course. I frequently come here for the disc golf. They have nine holes of average difficulty. Most of the holes are in open areas. For some, if you veer off to one side, you can lose a disc in the creek/brush. The trail run through some of the holes, which can cause you to wait for people to pass.
