Absolutely beautiful park with lots of walking trails, hiking trails, biking trails, trick setups for bikes, excersises, the botanical garden, all kinds of goodness. So many mushrooms in the woods!

Nice and quiet, very few people. The trail marking is confusing. AllTrails only lists trails SA and C combined. The park marks trails with numbers, but does not have a trail map. The botanical garden is a little spot with some native plants and some hydrangea bushes..

Great set of mountain bike trails. Lots of obstacles if you are interested and bypass options if you arent.

A wonderful local park with just about something for everyone! Hiking, biking, walking, picnicking, local and American history, playgrounds, flower gardens, and zip lining. Our family loves it there--definitely worth driving 30 minutes for!

Beautiful park to go for a nice walk or bike ride in woods. Also has some historical landmarks. Very well taken care of. Best part it was all free.

Great place to go and walk or bike among nature...

We found this park while on vacation in Williamsburg. Great walking trails and the botanical garden was great. We will definitely visit again.

This area is filled with love...its peaceful and magical...this is an african american settlement..the architecture is amazing....as it represents the strength of the human beings that lives there...steadfast.,organized....everlasting...simple yet elegant in its construct...

We love it so much that we were thrilled to have been married here.

Safe..Comfortable for all size families. Very nice hiking trails. The Free families homes are well represented.

Great park. Make sure you check out the botanical gardens

Great experience especially seeing the Free Black Settlement, would highly recommend checking it out.

Went hiking here. Arrived early. Hikeed multi use trails and one of the longer bike trails. Bike trail was best part. Moderate hike in total canopy. Hike opposite way of bike traffic so you can see and get out of their way as they come towards you. Nice playground for kids. Seems like a great place to mountain bike. Definitely going back

Beautiful park. MTB is a must. Trails for all skill levels!! Enjoy.

We enjoyed our walk through Freedom Park. The arboretum was most enjoyable with all of the different plants and roof gardens

The botanical garden was amazing. The whole park was really great.

I always have a great time when I come to this location. They have challenging obstacles that are appropriate for people of different physical capabilities. Instructors are knowledgeable and ensure the safety of all participants . GoApe is doing everything to enforce appropriate COVID-19 transmission precautions which is crucial. Would definitely recommend.

Great place for a bike ride. The trails are covered in shade so billing in a 100+ degree day was no problem. Will definitely come back next time Im in the area.

The Free Black Settlement was good to see and the flowers in the botanical garden were still in bloom.

Williamsburg Botanical Garden is a nice little stop. And some trails. Free

Beautiful trails, amazing playground for kids, and botanical garden with breathtaking flowers! I have not tried Go Ape but it looks like a blast!

A beautiful place to take a hike, have a picnic in the botanical garden, and play at the playground. If you are feeling really adventurous, take a tree top excursion at Go Ape.

We had a great time. Clean organized and safe

Great bike trails and playground. Plenty of parking, never too crowded.

I enjoyed my visit but the trails here need some upkeep, they should make it easier to define the walking/riding path from the woods. My friend (a former boycott) and I lost track of our trail at one point and had to head back to the main road.

Nice, quiet park with walking and bike trials winding around a free botanical garden, historical sites with placards, and a ropes course (for fee). Small play ground for kids. Several picnic areas and tables throughout.

Nature trails and a botanical garden makes this a pleasant place to walk or bike. As it is out-of-doors, it is a relatively safer place to visit in the pandemic.

Awesome park for mountain biking. They have trails for all skill levels and endurance levels.

Lovely park that successfully encourages social distancing. Would definitely go again!

Very pleasant. Weather was warm about 80, light breeze, very comfortable. Lot of trails too choose from. Bikes are welcomed. Will do again.

Favorite MTB trails make sure you call the trail status line after rains to make sure theyre open for bikes.

Nice park. Great area to walk. Lots of shade areas.

Beautiful place bout covid had a lot shut down.

Great variety of trails. Very family friendly.

Very cool historical information. The only reason for not getting 5 stars was the inability to see inside the cabins.

Amazing to stand where my ancestors lived.

Very nice and relaxing. Office isnt open due to the covid19 .

There are options for everyone here - playground and nature trail for the kids, walking/hiking trails galore, and 5 well-maintained bike trails, in addition to the lovely botanical gardens. There are also picnic shelters with grills so you can make a day of it!

Awesome trail system for mtb beginners and intermediates. Try Loop C, it has some nice freeride elements.

Peaceful place to visit. Will be going back soon for bike trails

When you get to the end of trail 3, turn around and go back....it was our first time there and we dont take trails that often and I thought that it went in a loop....it doesnt lol

Great mountain bike trails with something for riders of all levels. Lots challenging but fun jumps and skills obstacles for beginner to advanced riders. Biking Bad with TC.

My son loves this place!He is 4 and had a blast on the starter courses even if he was initially a little nervous. The obstacles on the starter course are somewhat varied and fun and the zip line is a good way to end it.Overall I would highly recommend it and would recommend the season pass as well. Great place to spend a day on a weekend.Word of warning that you need to book in advance and spots can fill up fast!

Its a quaint, quiet multipurpose area in the middle of the forest. The museum has a room to rent out for events or meetings, the Hot Water reconstructed buildings and the cemetery are a great way for people to connect to the past, and there is GoApe. The Botanical Garden is small, but a good visual break from the forest scenery.

Very well maintained mountain bike trail. Our first time here we tried trail c as we had heard there were lots of fun obstacles. As there were! But I dont have what it takes to do some of them.

Great park.20 miles of great hiking and bike trails, go Ape botanical gardens.

Fun to walk around and its free.

Wonderful bike trails and a nice botanical garden.. great place to spend a day.

Beautiful park nice trails

Great trails, playground, garden, and historical sites. Be sure to pick up a free map by the cemetery or Free Black Settlement parking lot. Heres a quick summary of the 5 mountain bike trails from a beginners perspective:A - lots of ups and downs with occasional long climbs. Bridges are cool, and theres a long and fast downhill around mile 3.5 that you can skip to by taking multiuse trail 1 to its end. The whole 4.5 miles is fairly strenuous with a lot of roots.B - kind-of an extension to A that adds about a mile to As length in the middle. Twisty and hilly.C - probably the easiest trail (besides the bunny trail) since its the flattest and well-worn by riders. Also probably the most popular because of the 25 or so technical features. All features have bypasses, so if youre new to MTB, be sure to check out a feature before going for it as many are very difficult.D - probably the most difficult/strenuous trail since its the longest and has a lot of steep, tight switchbacks. Looked to be the least ridden and had sections of deep pine needles Not particularly enjoyable when I rode it, but there are some beautiful pine areas and vistas overlooking the swamp. There are 2 connector trails on the map, but I couldnt find then when I rode it. You can do a shorter loop instrad of the full 5 miles by cutting across at the second bridge, cutting the length in half. Watch out on that bridge, though, as theres a drop at the end.E - windy, hilly, and rooty. Trails D and E line up beginning to end and can be done together as an 8 mile loop.

Great Mountain Bike Trails!

Great place to walk or mountain bike and full of history!! And some amazing ziplines I hope to try this summer.. my pup even found a small stick to play with..... Hahaha

If you take the trail know that you have to turn around and retrace your steps to get back to your car.

Magical...serene...mystical

Bring water. Tons of educational material

Great plate for hiking

Clean well designed, well maintained.

This place is very historic

This is a hikers dream!

Freedom Park not only has great mountain bike trails, but a botanical garden and the Go Ape zipline course. Call ahead if it has recently rained to ensure trails are open to bikes. For bikers who are just learning, try the bunny trail or C trail (this is also where all the crazy jumps are too but you can ride around them). Very nice park; wish it was closer to me.

Really cool to see!!

Hot today trails were great.

Great park and simple zip lines

Great trail park with free ride and cross country mountain biking, hiking, playground, picnic areas, botanical garden, a rope course (search go ape) and plenty of historical significance. I walk my dogs here often and after 5 years still have not been on every trail. Check the website for activities, the park service hosts them often.

Several beautiful nature trails to pick from for either biking, running/walking, or stroller/wheelchair friendly. Easy to follow trails both on pavement and on dirt pathes. Clean bathrooms. Free parking. Parks for kids. Dog friendly environment.

Very nice trails for riding or running. Or just enjoya day walking the dogs.

Best for hiking on days without bikes on the trails

Well marked trails. Better not going in Dec

Had a great time at go ape. Made for family of all ages except little ones. Loved that they provide water stations at each obstacle coarse

This is the family go-to spot to walk the dogs. Plenty of trails, except you need to be watchful of bikers.

I come here just for the botanical gardens. I havent walked the trails, yet. I did see one trail was paved and could be used with a wheelchair. Nice visitor center with historical info, water fountain, restrooms, picnic tables, and bike washing station. Just so you know ahead of time, the historical cemetery is a space and not marked by tombstones or labels like a historical graveyard. The botanical gardens are a peaceful space with plenty of paths, seating, and shade. Its well kept and labeled and worth the visit.

Beautiful park that is well maintained. Lots of Mountain Bike trails. Several walking trails. They have a zip line park where you get to walk around in the trees. Local treasure.

A great place for mountain biking and hiking the bike trails backwards! A wonderful staff that will help you with having your event there. The park is full of history as well, with a beautiful botanical garden.

Shaded area, fun playground.

Great park for some semi-challenging mountain biking... Will post photos later.

Had a great time on the zipline obstacle course!

One of the best unpaved bike trails. Many options for courses, variety of levels, entertaining for all ages.

Awesome. Clean, natural, and safe.Good for all ages, 2 feet, 4 feet, and

This is a really nice local park with free parking. They have amazing mounting bike trails. But watch for snakes.

Beautiful park and trails, could stay here all day.

Educational, nature walks, bike trails, zip lines

Nice place to visit, we tried the zip line which was adventurous, and a good work out. Staff is friendly and patient. We will definitely visit again.

Great place for a trail ride on high level stuff or with your kids. Playground, botanical garden, history, hiking, and go ape all in one spot.What else could you ask for really?

Lovely walk, lots of birds to see and friendly folks with dogs

Lots to see and learn

This place is awesome. My kids and I enjoy riding the trails.

Great walk with the family, trees are past peak, but still a great trail to walk.

Nice informative place love the old buildings. Wish it had original native americans and their crafts. The native village needs work.

Excellent park to walk, jog and go mountain biking. Beautiful landscaping, plenty of parking and lots trees.

Beautiful scenery and huge trees. Great trails.

Big park, hiking, biking trails and Go Ape. Kids playground, picnic tables, interesting historic area. Wild flowers.

So tranquil. The people in the trails were full of life and so happy

For mtb tight twisty single track. Trail C has lots of features to try or..bypass! Beautiful pines abound. Not fast or jumpy but a fun ride.

Best mountain biking trails in Williamsburg, VA!

Beautiful park. Has the botanical garden and a playground.

Great park with so much to do. We did Go Ape, the playground and the botanical gardens. The grounds were in great shape and the bathroom facility was central to pretty much everything, and was also very clean. I wish we had explored more.

Exellent trails, well marked definately coming back to MTB

A wonderful park. The history, the hiking, biking paths, the arboretum are all a part of this experience.

Great place to take you family and walk your dog out in the open... This park as truly change my life a d my pets life knowing we have a place we can take our love ones and enjoy the outdoors

Great park. The play structure for kids is fantastic. They have several trails, many of which are over 4 miles.
