Reviews
"Very nice walking park with play area for kids, kayak slip, great views and displays. Just wish it had a dog area."
"It was quiet and peaceful. Clean. Nice little trails. Easy to get lost if you're new of course. You can bring your kayak if you have one."
"The splendor of this park is overwhelming! Truly breathtaking. Such diversity in flora and fauna, pollinators and bugs! The sounds of the varied species of birds singing was soul soothing. So much hard work has gone into creating this oasis. An easily accessible kayak launch, children's park, marked paths to meander, educational/informational signage & posts and a covered picnic area! Recycling options, and pet waste stations! Wow! So well thought out. The only blip on my visit was the Porta potty station. One was turned over on its side, the other had no lock. Other than that, I cried tears of happiness as I took a gazillion pics! A true hidden gem nestled in an industrial corridor at the base of The Jordan Bridge... which is another great spot to visit. Go. Don't wait. Deep soothing breaths and smiles of pure delight are in your future when visiting here. Support our green areas, local & migrating species. *Thank you to all of the individuals involved in the creation and maintainence of this magical piece of tranquility. Your hard work is appreciated and enjoyed deeply! You are making a difference in the world! BRAVO!!! #BETHECHANGE #elbowgrease #VAnative #supportyourcommunity"
