This dog park was opened in 2014 and is a no frills dog park. It is a fenced in open area with a…read morefew benches placed inside. There is a water source available to hydrate your pooches and there is a double-gated entrance.This park is some what unique as it is managed and monitored by a group of volunteers who report discrepancies to the county's parks department. The park has a listed capacity of 46 dogs and has an adequate private parking lot and additional parking available at the neighboring apartment complex and on the street. The dog area is 32,189 square feet or ¾ of an acre and is somewhat L-shaped. The park does not require a membership and is free to use, which is nice and makes up for its lack of amenities. This place definitely beats having your dog free roaming in open fields with others frolicking. This is a decent park if you are in the area and the fact that it is free makes it that much better. This may not be a destination off-the leash dog park, but it is a nice place to visit if you are in the area with you pooch.

This is a well hidden trail, but for the parking lot at the entrance. There are markers at the…read morehead and intersections for the yellow and blue trails. The yellow allows horses. The trails are long and wind around each other... It can get confusing. It is easy to pass private horse farms and wonder if you are on the trail or someone's private drive. I became lost at one point (it was getting near 5PM when the sun is not as bright and forest gets darker) and stopped to listen for where the traffic was to get to the parking lot. It was a close call since I had gone on a trail that I thought I entered the park on. There are random people on the trails, but some some know how to get to the lot themselves. The Pittsylvania ruins are unkept and hard to see the foundations stones. There is a Carter family cemetery. Random deer stand and watch you as you pass through. Careful, as the trails are mucky in spots, but easily avoided. There are ticks! So try to keep your doggy out of the grass, but check anyway as these ticks come in all sizes even pin-head sized! I picked at least 70 off of my pup and two from myself! This is a nice getaway trail to walk, just in need of attention and better marking.

The trail OK. It can be confusing at times and easy to get lost in. Also there are definitely ticks…read morepresent here so beware!

We went to a 2024 Eagle Festival and had a very wonderful & educational time. The entrance to the park was free on the day of the festival and free transportation from the parking area to the festival location was free. We saw beautiful birds: falcon and owls and snakes. The staff and the organizations at the events were very informative, professional, and fun. They gave a lot of free gifts, educational opportunities, information about wildlife & the environment, and photography moments with the birds. I can not fully express how impressed I was about the Eagle festival in Mason Neck in this review. I strongly suggest you visit next year festival event in Mason Neck or just visit it.

Mason Neck is a peninsula which is mostly parkland but is divided confusingly among several…read moredifferent jurisdictions. The best views are the state park, which this is not. The federal wildlife refuge amounts to a couple of miles of trail through the forest, leading to an overlook. There wasn't a ton of wildlife when I dropped in, though I just caught site of a large bird of prey on my way back. The topography wasn't as varied, nor the trails as extensive, as compared to the state park which is just a bit farther down the road. However, that costs money and this does not, so this section is still nice for what it is.
