Gorgeous views and family friendly. I came by to people watch and take a lunch time out from reality.
This park is well maintained and a soul-​restoring break from the hectic pace of daily living.
The trees, shrubs and flowers are beautiful and you can catch children stooping down to look at the flowers eye to eye then smiling back at their adult caregivers.
The seating options are generous enough that you just show up and sit down somewhere by the water most of the time during the weekdays.
The picnic areas are always clean and the canopies are great for picnics. The seating is comfortable.
I am a boat watcher so I enjoy the water people. They look so happy launching their boats and the children love the thought of being out there with the geese and ducks.
Great alone time, friend meet up and family outing location. Selecting from picnicking, boating, playground areas, golfing, tennis, etc. is wonderful. Go, sit a while and enjoy!

I enjoy this park. It’s one of the bigger ones near my house. 3 playgrounds, a train, theater/​stage and a small grill for hotdogs, snowcones and popcorn. They have tennis courts and a lot of shelters spread over the whole park. Boat dock access to the rear of the park and a gold course on the side of the park.
I like that the park just added a new playground with more challenging obstacles and a small skate park has been added as well.
Boat rentals would be a great feature to this park!

It is so beautiful and relaxing! We witnessed a baptism in the water… Pretty amazing! Plenty of free tables to sit and eat. Beautiful day to enjoy a mid day lunch.

I like this park because you can walk your dog, ride the train, have a picnic, play on the playground, play miniature and regular golf, take golf lessons, eat food, and launch your boat here.
It’s a great place for children and adults!

What a wonderful park! I love the path along the river. So much to see and do here – just very wet today with all of the melting snow. I look forward to going back in the spring.

It is beautiful here! An awesome playground for children 12 and under. There are basketball courts, tennis courts, room for volleyball. There is also a snack bar on site. But if you want grill out… grills are nearby at each shelter. Overlooking the river… golf course on site… what more could you ask for… not a thing! I love it here. There is also a train for kids and bigger ppl to ride as well. I am not sure how often it runs but it’s a lil added feature that definitely draws the little ones nearer and nearer and you spend money… Go Portsmouth:) My only not 5 star worthy compliant is the high step to access the playground. Children running around or smaller kids… not paying attention can easily fall coming up or going down… this can cause major boo boos. I am not sure what purpose the elevated ground serve.

What a hidden gem, this is me and my daughter’s new fave hotspot. There is a playground for kids 2 – 5 and a playground for kids 5+, which I really appreciate because my daughter is 2. One of the cutest features of this park is there is a little train for the kids to ride, $ 2/​person. It’s not the longest train ride ever but it’s a nice break and the kids love it. The train conductor is always very friendly and waves to everyone at the park. The park also has a nice pier and golf course, as well as a ‘Friendship Garden’ that’s more like a duck pond with foot bridge for the kids to watch the fish and ducks. I think this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing parks in all of hampton roads, we love it here.

Nice park to walk the dog, with tons of open space, plenty of doggie waste stations, and a walking trail along the water. Just wish they had an enclosed dog park for the kiddos to run free!
This place seems pretty well maintained, although you do have to watch out for goose poop near the bridge. Boat ramps, tennis courts, lots of picnic tables and grills and their volleyball poles have nets on them! I went on a Saturday and it looks like they even have a little train for the kiddos (the human kind) to ride on. Plenty of parking.

The sun was out & daughter wanted to take advantage of the weather. Initially, I was spooked as there is a huge cemetery we drove into. The park lies right behind it. Wide open space, golf, driving range, & play area appeared well kept. My daughter loves the place so, that’s all that matters. I like that it is not as crowded as other parks & I can easily see my child. We also spotted train tracks… I’d love to see how this place is when the weather warms up. My daughter said it would be complete w/​basketball courts. I could be wrong but, we didn’t see any.

This is my favorite park to take my son. It is absolutely beautiful. It’s right on the river with a great view of the area. The park is very clean, very well-​maintained. It has tennis courts, boat ramps, and a golf course, as well as two different playgrounds — one for younger kids and one for older kids. There is also a little historic train station within the park. Very cute, we go here often.
We always go early in the morning — 8 or 9am on the weekends, and it isn’t crowded at all!
