We stopped here to stretch our legs on a road trip. Beautiful park with extensive paths. Also there are some gorgeous houses in the surrounding area for viewing while strolling. There were no playground that I saw but the little pockets of gardens and interesting landmarks spread throughout the park kept my kids attention pretty well.

Nice park in the middle of community. We went there for morning walk. Has a neat and clean trails to walk and jog. Could have been better with longer trails and more landscape maintenance. Overall we enjoyed our visit to the park

Very nice walking track and lots of open space for things like soccer, frisbee, kite flying etc. As well as a park for the children, a pavilion for parties and bathrooms and water fountains located near the park.

This park is how every park should be!Beautiful fenced in playground for younger children and another one for older children.Filled with educational and creativity encouraging play sets and plenty of space in their feild for picnics or sports and several picnic tables as well. My 2 year old had a blast!I was visiting from out of town and very sad we dont have parks like this in my city!

I had really been missing when I used to walk. Walking was what contributed to my weight loss, but since I had graduated college, I didnt have access to their track anymore, and I had been wanting somewhere else to walk. This park provided tons of walkways that branched out and circled around the park. This eliminated running into other people and causing a clutter in the path which gave me a sense of independence and privacy apart from other people.But even when I did pass people, they were always nice with friendly faces greeted me. There were a diverse group of people here; old, young, dog-walking, baby-strolling, etc. There are tons of places where you can sit and relax, chairs everywhere. I saw a couple just sitting together with their newborn baby, or adults watching the kids play in the playground area. I did feel safe because lots of people were around. The park does seem like its accessible; I saw at least three places you can enter.

This is a lovely park. Overall it is clean and rather picturesque. A nice play area for smaller children 2-2-5 and a bit larger area for children 5-12. Lots of picnic tables available. Only down side so far is the limited parking.

Ive been going to this park since I was a little girl, we used to go to a tumbling class in the building. I remember back in the day the rocket ship, it was so awesome! It would be swaying back and forth when it was windy outside!! Good times! I still love this park and would highly recommend anyone to visit .

Took my 4 year old son and my 15 year old. 4 year old had a blast. 15 year old had a relaxing time. Me personally I feel like the play area is WAY too small, but if my boys had a great time thats all that matters to me.

Very nice park with a great atmosphere. It has a nice area for kids to play and is dog-friendly; they even have little trash stations for dog owners to clean up after their dogs. Our only complaint is the restrooms. They are set up in a strange way with no real privacy.

Review №52

Beautiful park. Great place for a walk. The bathrooms are inexcusable. There are no stall doors so absolutely no privacy. If the thought of someone catching you doing your essential business gives you a thrill, then Im not judging, but its definitely not my idea of a good time. I dont care what has happened in that bathroom, nothing warrants someone having the ability to see all your business as they wash their hands. Beautiful park, though.

We come to this park for a variety of activities. Theres plenty of space for family reunions, picnics, birthday parties, and showers. The bathrooms are not so great, and the playground is a little small, but other than that we enjoy it very much!

Awesome park! Really good playground equipment, and a good walking/jogging path around the park. Very clean, and very green. Only weird thing was the restooms, while clean, did not have doors. The toilets are tucked around corners, so of you value privacy, you might have to hold it....

I often run through this neighborhood in the mornings and always enjoy my loop through the park. Betty Virginia Park has nice walking paths, a great playground for kids, and a big open field area where folks often gather to play soccer, do yoga, etc. The park is located in the middle of the South Highlands neighborhood, which is probably the most attractive neighborhood in the city. A fantastic place for a picnic, family outing or walking or jogging.

Its 1000ft from my home. Love the peaceful atmosphere. Benches and gazebos throughout park. Has playground and indoor restroom and paved walking trails! Needs to be trimmed and have some stray branches removed but it still nice to visit. We visit several times a week.

Cut up logs. Are they and the tall grass in one part, meant to be a habitat for wildlife? Pretty benches with memorial plaks were touching as I visited on Memorial Day 2019

Review №65

Well situated, there are many friendly people from all walks of the society and internationals to meet.The kids play ground should be renovated a bit more and expanded if possible. Some adults basic work out machines would be nice. A medium size elevated all glass reading room equipped with used furniture and donated books and magazines and volunteer attendants seems a great future plan.Thank you so much. The kids play ground is now renovated. Looking very good. Fair to mention other smaller changes and improvements are also visible around the park. God bless. Summer of 2018.

The park is great. Parking is not. Its a popular park with a small main parking lot. If youre not lucky enough to get a spot close to the entrance youll do some walking to get to the fun, safe, and clean park that has one section for the little kiddos and one for the somewhat bigger kiddos. Huge grass and playing area for family fun.

Review №69

A great park to go to. This has to be one of the more relaxing, friendly parks I have been to. Its wide, grassy areas are great for a picnic, or try one of the many picnic tables. There is a paved walking trail that winds through the park as well. Along the way, there are dedications to fallen police officers, a breast cancer memorial, and sponsored benches surrounded by their own beautiful landcaping.There is a large, well maintained childrens playground. Also there is a pavilion nearby with adequate restrooms.I go there quite often to read in the morning or to walk. Betty Virginia Park is just a wonderful place.

The park is very big and is a good across for adults and children alike. There are playgrounds for children and adults can run on the trail or find a nice spot to enjoy the day and/or a good book. Late Fall and early to mid spring are probably the best times to head on over.
