Baron Cameron Park

"My four visits (mostly weekends) have been quite positive given the size of the park and ability to run long distances. However, at 5:30pm today, there was a large crowd of owners who clearly knew one another and viewed this as a social gathering. There were quite a few dogs who were out of control and were largely ignored by their owners. One, without provocation, jumped up and nipped a man on his arm. The socializing owners never looked up. Several dogs swarmed me, smelling dog treats in my coat pockets. One large dog kept jumping up on me, trying to get to the treats. I was pretty unsettled given that it was such a large dog and was so persistently jumping and biting at my pockets and purse. As I collected my things (and pup) to leave, the owner (heavy set man in shorts) asked that I not "feed his dog treats." I asked that he check his dog's behavior. This is not intended to mischaracterize all of the 5:30pm crowd - there were some lovely and responsible dog owners. That said, I'm hoping to send a warning to all new visitors to be prepared to meet some owners who don't take any responsibility for their dogs' behavior. And don't get me started on the lack of poop watching...."

"In beautiful Reston, you can find many public parks, small and large, which are typically connected by a network of multiuse trails. Part of the Blue Trail is one of those trails and it winds around northern Reston for about 3.5 miles between the North Point Shopping Center, Lake Anne Plaza, and the Tall Oaks Village Center. Along the way is Baron Cameron Park, where you can wander, bring your dog, and have a picnic near Lake Newport. It's beautiful here during all seasons!"

"Walking paths, basketball courts, many baseball and soccer fields, a dog park, and forest trails — Baron Cameron Park is my happy place. I come here nearly every day, and it is always an enjoyable experience."

"Very near to my place. Almost a daily go to place with my kid for activities or just for fun. Have slides and events time to time. Football courts .. dog parks !! BUT the place does need some monitoring and at least regular checking..you will see dog poop all over in football grounds and playground even though they have seperate dog park here...."

"Decent park, not sure if there is some other special section I missed. Several fields available along with some picnic areas. There is a nice trail that leads to another park in one direction, not sure where it leads when it goes the other direction (near the road)."
