A wonderful day with the kiddos. Took them out for some fun in sunny on a cool day. There’s plenty of stuff to do for all ages. Fishing pier, tennis courts, golf, miniature train to ride and several playgrounds for the kiddos. If you’re having an event, they have picnic shelters for rent and if you desire a small cookout for the family they have picnic tables with grills all over the park. They also have public toilets in a couple locations.

Wonderful park, especially since they upgraded the playground equipment! My oldest daughter has a blast every time. The train is super quaint too. My only complaint is I have to walk alllllll the way around the railing by the road when I have the stroller in order to cross the street and get to the water or the small kiddie playground. It would br nice if the little railing had a gap by the playground so we could go through there instead of having to walk all the way to the end of the parking lot because it takes forever! Other than that, everything is wonderful!

They have a lot to do. There is a stage where people can perform. The bathrooms re nice and kept fairly clean. There is a boat launch and a beach where the kids can catch sand crabs and minnows.

Great place to launch a boat right on the Elizabeth River. The Links are a cool little 9 hole course for some quick play. And the price to play is unbeatable! I paid $17 to play 9 holes and that was with the cart! I'll be back here for sure!

Restrooms are always clean, and the picnic areas have some very lovely views of the water. The playground looks fun, but I'm a bit too old to have tried it out myself. There's also a very cute spot that can be reserved for weddings. I love going up to the park and just sitting and watching the water for a while
