I am impressed by this nearby city park. I had no idea this was even here until we moved into…read moreShadowlawn a few months ago and it's a pleasant surprise. It's much larger than I expected and I love the dog park, large green area with the small three children's play areas, paved bike/running trails and the entire area. It's very big and there are several walking/hiking trails inside the main portion of the park spanning several miles and meandering through a wooded area that follows the marsh. It's well-kept and has multiple entrances from the Shadowlawn neighborhoods. -The entrance from VA Ave has a very small parking lot and then street parking. -The entrance from Indian Rd. has a much larger parking lot with plenty of space and opens to the large, green field with 3 separate play areas for toddlers with climbing sculptures in the shape of frogs and caterpillars. Really cute and has a pavilion and circular paved trail around it. -The entrance from Marshview Dr. has a small lot and this is where the dog park area is as well. Two tennis courts here across the street which are part of a small playground/tennis complex called Salt Marsh Park. Last weekend I finally went for a hike inside and covered about 1/3rd of the likable/walkable space. It's gorgeous! It's also neat bc they have it set up for trail bike riding and it's very well marked and laid-out. I came upon some beautiful areas for sitting and enjoying the view. If you haven't ventured here yet you should give it a try - actually pretty impressive in size and option for a neighborhood co-located park.

Lots of dogs at this park. I LOVE dogs.2 Different playgrounds. The playground area was my favorite. There were no kids so we explored the playground. Huge size. It was awesome. So their playgrounds are spread out. They have one at the area where you park your vehicle. You walk or ride your bike a ways turn right into another area . Nice size grass area to run and play and then 3 sections of little whimsical play areas. Frog area, Caterpillar area, and turtle area. Really nice paved walk ways with these beautiful little bridges. Dog park, People and Pet friendly. Wheel chair and stroller friendly. Great for bikes. They even have a station for bike repair and to pump up your tires. EXCELLENT for us we love riding our bikes. This is such a lovely area we were just riding our bikes around and found it. We love it. It has a lot to offer and it is very well kept

What a really cool find a few weeks ago. A park in a place that I least expected it and right under…read moremy nose for years. This is a neighborhood park located in Broad Bay Estates off of Great Neck Rd. The proximity to one of my favorite parks in the area, Great Neck Park is incredible. It's probably only a half mile. As a matter of fact the neighborhood opens a gate on weekends that connect the park and Great Neck Rec Center. The equipment is pretty standard for Virginia Beach parks and is in great shape. It offers some slides and climbing area's. The age appropriate according to the sign is 5-12 yrs. I really cannot see child over 9 wanting to play on it really. There are also swings older children to toddler. No shade is offered around the play equipment, so bring the sun block during the day. The amount of real estate this park occupies for a neighborhood park is amazing. I would say at least three acres. Someone has put up a volleyball net and a soccer goal, I believe this is not park owned. It;s cool that they have two very small shelters, just enough for one picnic tables and a few grills. A drawback is no restroom facilities. Also at issue is parking, there is no formal lot, so I imagine street parking is permitted. If your wanting a play area to yourself you would probably find this one with much lower numbers than the adjacent Great Neck Park. The GN park however is superior and recommend over this one. The biggest benefit that I see over other parks is the amount of field space for all types of activities. I am a fan and my kids enjoyed themselves too.

I've seen one kid hide under a little cave for about 15m. Besides the broken slide, I'll come when it's less crowded. Maybe early morning or after 6. Too much of a risk to bring my highly active 3yr old to this park. 4 stars!

Lineberry Park is a quiet, small neighborhood park. It has a playground, a very small field, and…read moresmall wooded areas with established trees. The park is mostly clean overall. It isn't excessively busy but has a continuous flow of families in and out. -- The Playground -- The playground area with wood chip mulch is best for elementary school aged children. The equipment is in generally good condition; with close supervision it's good for younger children (note that there are moderate gaps in the openings along the playground system). The highest slide feels a bit unstable. There are baby/toddler swings and regular swings, which are pretty high off the ground for children. There's also numerous climbing options. The playground is in full shade; the shade is mostly from sweetgum (gumball) trees, so I wouldn't recommend it for pets. -- Benches & Pavilions -- There is one pavilion with one picnic table beneath it. There is a trash can not far from it and another can in the parking lot. There are a few benches along the perimeter of the playground. -- Walking Areas & Accessibility -- There are no paths or walking areas within the park, except for the paved path from the parking lot to the pavilion that ends just before the playground. Lineberry Park has a ramp to access the play structure to make it more accessible to people with differing abilities. -- Sporting Equipment -- There are no other equipment options other than the playground. -- Amenities -- There is only a portable toilet (no plumbing), so not ideal for a long visit. -- Parking -- There is a gravel parking lot owned by the city and designated for the park. There's one handicapped accessible parking spot and other unmarked spots. -- Things to Note -- It is behind St. Francis Episcopal Church. Other than the fence by the parking lot, the perimeter of the park is a moderate ditch. There is no fence or physical boundary between the park and the neighboring properties, but a few of the houses have their own fences. It's not right next to water, but there's water slightly further down on S. Rosemont Rd, so with that and the shade, mosquitoes are a moderate issue. -- Takeaways -- This is nice, somewhat older neighborhood park not far from S. Rosemont Rd. The main attraction is its playground. If you are in the area and armed with bug spray, it's worth a visit for children. I wouldn't suggest traveling out of your way for it though as there are lots of other parks in VB to enjoy, many with more offerings.

I think my child while walking the dog was playing with the Yelp app and must have checked in. Anyway, this is a simple park area tucked in the Bellamy Plantation sub division. There is a child safe play set for those wanting a nearby play and outdoor time for the kids. Several large trees keep it shaded throughout the day. The backside runs up against the waterway so watch those young ones close... don't need them wondering into risk or thinking the wildlife is a cute kitty to pet.

We had a great time. The seating around the play area is comfortable, and you can easily move to a new bench as the children move from set to set. There is a covered seating area if the children need a break from the sun or rain, Smiles! The restrooms are well maintained and stocked with what you need. The parking lot is spacious, and lots of spaces are covered by shadows from the trees, so your car stays cool. There were several employees walking around just to check on visitors. It made me feel safer because I knew the attendants were there. The waterfront area is beautiful. I am going to come back with the hubby for a romantic walk before dinner.

The park is quite clean overall with very minor amounts of litter. -- The Playground -- The small playground area with wood chip mulch is best for younger elementary school aged children. The equipment is in generally good condition; with close supervision it's good for younger children (note that there are gaps in the openings along the playground system), and those who are a bit older congregate or toss a football, etc in the small field. There are 2 baby/toddler swings and 2 regular swings. The playground is in partial shade. -- Benches & Pavilions -- There is one small pavilion/picnic shelter with one picnic table beneath it. There is one trash can not far from it.

I wouldn't suggest traveling out of your way for it as there are lots of other parks in VB to enjoy, many with more offerings. Nonetheless, we have pleasant visits there.
