Portsmouth City Park,

Cpl J M Williams Avenue, Portsmouth, VA 23701

"We checked this park out on a whim and now it's my twins fav. Playground. There are tons of things to climb, play, spin, swing on. Really something for all ages and e try kind of movement preferences. Ground is mostly dry and soft even after rain. We find there are usually engaged adults and fun kids to play with everytime we go. Clean bathrooms near by the playground is an added plus."

"The City of Portsmouth, Virginia has done a very good job with this park and location, however the Boat Ramp bathrooms are appalling. The Boardwalk handrails have been updated. It's very clean. The little picnic shelters for 6 to 8 people are great! Not sure if the boat ramp bathrooms are still scary. The Golf club bathrooms are fine. Playground has been updated and it's a great place to let your children play! Good work, P-town!"

"The park has been around for many years and the playground has been completely renovated. The equipment is very innovative and impressive and the kids love it. Definitely a massive improvement over the outdated equipment that it replaced. There are many other amenities at the park including a 9 hole golf cart, tennis courts, a boat ramp and picnic pavilions. There is also a small train called the Pokey Smokey which runs on Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 3 for a $2 cost per person."

"Best city park in Hampton Roads! Seated on the Elizabeth River with wide open green space, lots of trees and picnic cabanas. Beautiful garden with duck pond, and the steam train for the kids. So many great spots! Also a free boat launch and Sailboat launch! Piers for fishing too! Great park for all ages."

"A beautiful family oriented place to go and play, spend time with the kids and to get good exercise for the day. Enjoy a walk by the river front, or sit on a bench and watch the boats or feed the birds. Just enjoy the atmosphere and try to take in the beautiful friendship gardens, or maybe take on a game of golf to sharpen your game with friends. Truly a great place to be. Nice place to view the sunsets, and the waterfowl a plenty!"
