I like frisbee golf occasionally. One course that's quite popular is Burke Lakes. Have spent time…read morehere with family and friends. This is a spot where no reservations are needed, and the cost is extremely reasonable. Anything outdoors is appreciated. Yet it's time for the county to make some repairs. The course isn't as well maintained as it was. There are roots that can make you be more vigilant. Personally I'd rather relax, but pay attention to where you walk. The containers are aging. My hope is this year they'll fix it up. Obviously that's up to the park authority. If you want to try out this activity, this is a good place to start.

Any day playing Frisbee golf is probably a good day so my 4 stars on this review should be taken…read morewith a grain of salt. If you can get out and play on this course, by all means do it. However, compared to other courses that I have played, this course is shorter, less interesting, and more crowded. If you go on a beautiful day, it's a good bet it will be very crowded.

Great 27 hole par 3 course. About 9,000 steps around the whole thing. This is a great course for…read morenovice players to cut their teeth on; challenging but won't make you hate the sport if you are still learning. The GPS took me to the exact location I needed to be. Looked like it normally costs a few bucks to get in the park but there was a sign up saying no charge. It's largely a wooded course. Recommended.

The slide/swings look very new and there are different levels of playground for various age groups. The playground is small compared to the nearby Clemyjontri park but the "brand new" facility is attractive to kids. There are trails nearby as well which we may come back for another time. Plenty of parking nearby.

Spas and sparkling rosé...more my speed, but I am always up for different experiences. Having said that...I've experienced it, and umm...with mosquito bites still itching, this was cool...not sure if I would say, "yes" again. While he set up the tents, I went to grab a margarita. Upon my return, I was impressed with the setup. Who knew camping could be "chic"? lol. After sending my daughter pics, she said it was, "glamping," not "camping." Lol Honestly, I enjoyed. Just hated the bugs. I love to read. If you do too, bring a good book. The camping ground is spacious. You're assigned a lot where you set up your tent(s). Seems like he had the entire gamut -- blow up couch, blow up bed, portable grill, speakers for music, bug repellent, food, and libations ;-) You will hear everything that is nature at night. I swear I heard a fox howling/barking. All-in-all, it was a cool experience...five days later, still itching from those bites. Oh! There's a water park too...arrive early to get in because they do have a capacity limit.

Wayyyyy back in the day, my dad bought a RV, and the one place that I can explicitly remember us…read moregoing, was Lake Fairfax Park. I also remember having a great time on the lake paddle boating and swimming in the big "L" shaped pool. Fast forward decades later, I have taken a liking to camping. I still consider myself a novice, and over the last 3yrs, I have accumulated some cool stuff. I have an annual camping trip with a large group next month, but I wanted to do a small intimate trip to one of my favorite childhood places. I must say, Lake Fairfax has one big change from when I was a child. It now has a HUGE waterpark that has giganic water slides as soon as you enter. I was a little disappointed to hear from the check-in Park attendant, who had the personality of a disinterested teenager, that the L shaped pool I referenced was no longer there. My picture of laying poolside or chillin in the pool were shattered, because with waterparks, comes tons and tons of young kids.. and honestly, I would just rather not..LOL! Once we made it to our assigned camping lot, I was super pleased at how close we were to the extremely clean rest rooms that were equipped with showers. The camping site was noticeably quiet, almost library quiet, so that suprised me a little. I didn't want to disrupt the flow, so I kept my speaker at a low level. :) All in all, I had a memorable experience at Lake Fairfax Park and I can definitely see myself coming back sometime next Spring/Summer!!

This is the only Metro accessible disc golf course in the area, located less than one mile from the College Park stop. There are 18 holes, each hole has three seperate tee boxes to provide a challenge for almost any skill level. While none of the holes are impossible, several are tricky and will test your skills. There are quite a few trees scattered throughout the course to provide some entertainment. If you'd like to play, check out www.pdga.com for more info. To purchase discs (a set will run less than $50, the only investment you'll ever need to make to play disc golf), try the REI in College Park or the airport museum next door to the course.
