    Browns Chapel Park - Basketball court

    There are many things to like about this park. Initially I thought the park was small, until I…read morestarted exploring it. There are plenty of amenities. There's a basketball court, tennis courts, exercise stations throughout the park, a soccer field, a playground, and even a little chapel. I came here to use the trails. There is a trail that goes around the lake. It's has stunning view because the lake is surrounded by spectacular houses. Also, a portion of the Blue Trail passes through the park. The Pink and the Blue Trail run throughout the city of Reston. I was a little nervous about using the trail and crossing the streets. But there are pedestrian tunnels to cross under the busiest streets. Every time I come to this park, I always see plenty of people exercising. 5 stars.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Reston. Between the baseball fields the basketball court the…read moretennis courts the random exercise equipment set up along the walking trails. This is a great family friendly environment and I usually take my dog for a walk here once a day. The view from the lake is absolutely stunning. There are at least two docks if you have a boat or a canoe you'd like to take out on the water. There's usually Little League baseball games going on for the kids and people playing tennis at all hours but not in a busy or overcrowded type of way. There's also bathrooms and water fountains for people to use which is convenient. The gazebo has two grills and is perfect for an outdoor get together or a family outing. I would highly recommend this location to anyone trying to enjoy Reston's outdoors.

    I went on Sunday with a friend to visit the sunflower fields. First off, it took what felt like…read moreages to locate the sunflowers. Yes there are coordinates on the website, but they wouldn't register when I tried copying & pasting them into Google maps. There is one gravel parking lot visible from the road. We started there, but then walked ahead and saw... nothing. No clear path to any sunflowers. We then drove a bit more and still not much. I then entered an address for "sunflower parking lot" which took us down the road, off of River road, past another gravel parking lot to another gravel parking lot. We parked there and decided to wander in to see what we could see. No signage, and still no sunflowers. We kept walking anyway until we finally spotted a field of yellow off in the distance on our left. We walked through a field to the flowers! It was a bit anticlimactic because our path landed us at the backside of the flowers, so we had to basically walk around or walk backwards to get a good view. We did a couple of laps while there. There were surprisingly few people at 4:30pm on a Sunday. We got some photos and then left. On our way out, we passed by many people asking if they were going the right way to the flowers. We also spoke to a group who came from the other lot. They said they were wandering for 3 hours trying to find the flowers and eventually managed to find the lot, and then had to cross a river with sticks for balance to get to the field. My jaw dropped. For a site that boasts beautiful flowers for visitors to enjoy, how the hell have they not marked it better? I also tried calling the wildlife center's office only to be met with a message that they no longer have in person office hours. Aka we were completely on our own trying to find our way. It also came to our attention that only field 3 had any flowers to see at this time. Yes the website says that the fields bloom at different times but nowhere did it provide a real time update. The fields are a mile or so apart, sending visitors on a wild goose chase. Absolutely ridiculous. I want to say I'd return next year, but only if they provide clearer directions on the website so we don't waste time driving all over the place and walking to a flower field that doesn't even exist at the moment.

    Got a chance to visit last weekend. It was nice to be able to check their website and see a rough…read moreweekly estimate of sunflower bloom status. When using Googlemaps initially we ended up at parking for Field #2 which wasn't ready yet. We tried to walk around to see if the fields connected but there didn't seem to be an easy way to get to the other fields. Luckily we examined the posted map more closely by the parking lot and decided to follow River Road and eventually found Sycamore Landing Road which led to Field #4. Again there was an initial parking lot we stopped at since it was our first time visiting but it seemed like that was mostly for hiking. Once continuing further in we got to another lot closer to Field #4. The main lot was already full by around 11 am on a Saturday but we were able to park by the side of the road. There were plenty of sunflowers of varying heights and sizes to take interesting pictures with. It was also cool to see quite a few artists camped out that were painting the beautiful landscape. A friendly couple offered to take a picture of my partner and me. We were even able to chat about birds like how indigo buntings have been spotted nearby. Personally I saw a cardinal but didn't see any indigo buntings. There are some nice close up shots of indigo buntings and other birds on Google maps geotagged at McKee-Besher that someone else posted that are pretty impressive. Overall it was a bit stressful finding the correct blooming field but future visits will be less intimidating. Would be neat to come again and see what the other fields look like at peak bloom.
