Boy to think we only use to come for the kite festival (dont get me wrong that is awesome) what a waste on our part, the trail, the river, the fields, the playground!!!! Holy smokes batman!!!!! Come to kick the ball, to run your dog, to walk or just the playground alone!!!! Even I as an adult wanted to play in that awesome playground!!!

Beautiful park with lots of activities. Designated electric aircraft flying area is wonderful and all the facilities are well maintained. Great place for sports, bocce, flying, riverside activities, and paddle sports launching.If you are a uav flyer be aware that they have regulated drone flying and may be in conflict with state code.15.2-926.3. Local regulation of certain aircraft.No political subdivision may regulate the use of a privately owned, unmanned aircraft system as defined in § 19.2-60.1 within its boundaries. Nothing in this section shall permit a person to go or enter upon land owned by a political subdivision solely because he is in possession of an unmanned aircraft system if he would not otherwise be permitted entry upon such land.2016, c. 451; 2018, cc. 851, 852.They require $25.00 registration fee, AMA, membership proof, and only allow flying at two fields in this park while wearing their permit ID and ban drones at all other parks and recreation parks in the county.None of this detracts from the quality of the park, this is a national issue that a lot of places are struggling with. I would not have mentioned it if the restrictions did not reach county wide. Please read and obey all applicable rules and regulations and fly safe while you enjoy the breath taking scenery.

We love coming to this park. Theres a lot of great short walks, a playground for the kids, sports fields and during the summer a small river beach. There are many great family friendly events held here throughout the year.

Beautiful place to go on shorter, easier hikes. Beautiful view from the top of the mountain. Well maintained paved walking path on the outskirts of the park. Also great for biking since the paved trail is adequately wide.

This was a really nice place to go. We just went to the playground parkside but a section of it was right on the river with access and there were shelters for people to cookout & tables. There are soccer fields, baseball fields and walking paths. Really nice place to go and ride a bike, throw a football around, practice your soccer, batting and more. Head on out if you ever get a chance.

Green Hill Park is a great place. It can cater to large groups and couples. It has picnic areas, trails, and water access.The river bed is very rocky and slippery if you decide to wade into the water be sure to wear water shoes of some variety. Also if you have little ones be mindful of the current, its strength ebbs and flows.There are only two picnic tables near the water access for the river so if you are planning on sticking around for a picnic you may want to bring your own tables and chairs.

Love to spend family time in this lovely green park. Lots of open spaces for ball games and such, or just walking your pets. This could be improved with a little info center for parking, comfort rooms and such. Overall - great view of the mountains and fresh clean air.
