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.

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.

I am sharing this for documentation of an injury that happened at the Bluemont course today…read more(5/9/26) around 11am. context: family and I disc-golfed today. as i finished hole 1 with my 3yo kid by my side, we were about to start hole 2. we didnt hear any warning or a "fore" call. incident: someone threw a mid-range disc into my kid's face. the throw came from the direction of hole 2 towards hole 3. my kid bled from their nose and mouth; blood all over their face and clothes. afterwards: the thrower did *NOT* come over to check on us after hitting us with a throw, nor apologized. I went over to tell them what happened and they had excuses and even tried to blame us for being in the way. I gave them a piece of my mind but had no way to hold the thrower accountable. the beveled edge disc was so close to hitting my kid's eyes. these two adult men cowards tried to wait for us to leave so they can go on playing. review: this is horrible behavior as people in public space and definitely worse as members in the frisbee community. it is just so wrong and unfair that these two grown men to hurt someone.. a small child... and acted like nothing happened and showed no remorse. call to action: 1. Be on the look out for a heavy-set asian man, short black hair with sunglasses and a medium built latino man with ear-length curly black hair. both about 5"7" to 5'9" tall and in their mid- to late-30s. they cant hit the basket but will shamelessly hit a child . losers. 2. dont hit people with a disc golf. if you do, be a normal person and help the person you injured and apologize. simple, right?

There is long, mid, and short tees for each hole. The longs can be more than 700' so I played the shorts. I had over 10000 steps and it took 2hours 15 min to play Talon so just be aware of the distance. The course was well maintained and had a good amount of hills which is different from the flat courses in the Richmond area. I'm looking forward to playing a round on the second course there when I come back. There are two courses to play. The owner/operator was great and promptly returned my call when I got there. The first course starts to the left of the club house and the other one is across the street from the parking lot near a portajohn.

Definitely will go back again, but it is a good bit off the beaten path lol

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.

The kids really enjoy it here. In addition to the play area, there are several trails that take you through wooded areas as well as a good size frisbee golf course.

That is that they only have porta-johns, so as you can imagine, these can be rather unpleasant in the summer time.

Both large and small dog parks are double gated so the dogs cant get out and run off. The area for the small dogs is maybe a third if the size of the large dog side. There is fresh water for your dog to get drinks and there's a poopie bag dispenser so you can clean your mess. Most of the people here pay attention to their dogs behavior and I personally haven't seen a blown out dog fight. Its a good social spot for you and your dog. Not much seating area but there are a few fixed benches in the fenced parks. Parking is usually available and near the park entrances. If your dog needs a energy release, give this place a try.

Meadowood in Lorton is a U.S. BLM maintained property with a number of equestrian, mountain bike,…read moreand hiker trails. FYI for horse people: The Harley Road trailhead parking lot is designed for horse trailers, with a nice turnaround. No need to back up! The map that comes up on yelp shows the BLM office, check the trail map online for trailhead parking lots. There are maps at the parking lots to take, with mileage for trail segments. I'm reviewing the recently opened 4.6 mile South Branch hiking and mountain bike trail. The trail is accessible from a few parking lots (see the trail map). I parked at the lot on Old Colchester Rd, which only has space for about 6 cars, but I've never had trouble parking. There are no restrooms, water fountains, or garbage cans, so plan to bring water, and pack your trash out. I think they participate in managed hunts (announced) but I would not be surprised to find poachers, so think twice about dressing in deer colored clothes! I've hiked and jogged the trail. There are a few segments where the trail splits and then merges, one more difficult segment for mountain bikes, another for hikers. The trails are clearly marked, and you can easily make a longer hike by combining trails. South Branch is shady, the whole way. The hills are challenging enough to be fun without being miserably painful. If you think of Burke Lake's trail as a 1 on a 1 to 10 degree of difficulty, I'd rate South Branch as a 3 or 4 but I'm not the strongest hiker. There isn't room for 2 to walk side by side in most spots, and keep your ears open. We yielded the trail to bikes, but the bike riders slowed and didn't mow us down. If everyone plays well together it will help - a bike could topple down steep ravines in a couple of spots, they need some room. But bikes need to watch out too. Dogs are allowed, leash laws apply. I don't think a jogging stroller would make it. Very bumpy. The marshy area has a raised walkway and the small creeks have bridges, so you will not get soaked. Mud pits have honeycomb cinderblock retainers which is really nice. I think this trail is a blast. I don't like crowds and I like a challenge. This is a hard run for me, but a good one. I am so happy to find a place like this with no crowds. Love it!! This is the link to the trail map as of June 2012 http://www.blm.gov/es/st/en/fo/lpfo_html/recreation.html
