Great fun for children of all ages. Food and drink on site. The best food and drink in town. Josh at the concession stand is very helpful. The lifeguards are very responsible. Friendly families every where!
Good place to have outside activities such as picnics, hiking, I would consider even to take wedding pictures at the little Kiosk. Would come back here as many times as I could to have a relaxing afternoon with friends, nice drive too if you like short road-trips
Lots of parking. Really poor signage (never did find the pedestrian hiking trail). Appreciated that someone had come to turn the porta-potties right-side up after the heavy winds. Plenty of benches and tables. Kids enjoyed spotting lots of turtles and birds. Nice to see the park being enjoyed by others (picnicking, fishing, playground, pick-up sports, etc.). Happy to have a dog-friendly place we can be outside and explore.
One of the best parks in Loudoun. It’s now much easier to get to from points east with the various construction and engineering projects they’ve done along Route 7 and such. Located just a bit outside of Purcellville, the park offers trails, fishing, an excellent disc golf course that’s around 2 miles walking, several other sporting areas like the tennis/pickle ball courts, hockey rink, pool, baseball/softball fields, soccer/lacrosse fields, and horseshoes, several pavilions throughout, equestrian paths, and the Franklin Park Arts Center, which was home to the first East Coast Bob Ross art exhibit/display. One can spend a few hours or a day here with the various activities. One should note that the sun can be pretty brutal during the summer, and the wind really comes through there like the prairie, which might be alright in the summer, it’s like a Midwestern winter come change of seasons. I really wish Northern Virginia had more parks like this, and would really recommend visiting.
This is a great park, there is a dog park, public pool, tennis court, dek hockey rink, sand volley ball courts and trails. This is a great place to hang out or take the kids. It gets very busy on the weekends due to the pool being a main attraction
