The other facilities like bathrooms, fields, trails, courts, etc all look great as well!

I love…read morehow for years, despite the town and county's plans to tear up the fields, trees, and wildlife for more and more data centers and townhouses for a never-ending, growing population, one thing has been constant and that's this small park. I've come here for years and despite possibly making a fool of myself with this statement, I must say this park is one of my top spots to visit even as a man in his thirties. There's a feeling of peace when walking the perimeter of the pond and being able to listen to the bugs, ducks, and toads over the now usual sound of passing vehicles, their horns as well as builder/landscaper equipment. There is parking on the side of the street and trash can facilities for those who know how to dispose of their waste correctly. They added doggie bags for dog walkers and i always notice on my visits the many walkers and joggers that want to excercise while also taking in the beauty of this nature preserve. I can only pray the Ashburn community can continue to prevent the property developers (responsible for the thousands of townhouses and data centers) from destroying this park for another complex.

The views of the river is breathtaking with the sound of the stream soothing over you. Obviously watch if it rains since parking here can be gross during a storm.

Attended an event in this beautiful space. So nice to be on the farm and look out into the…read moreproperty. The event room held about 100 guests plus tables for a large buffet and a stage. The weather was great and parking was plentiful. When I arrived I noticed the staff did not have the room prepared for the party people to set up- tables were locked in a closet with the chairs- which caused the event to start late and ALL hands on deck to help get it up- the staff agreed to an extra hour because they failed to have the room prepped- so as an attendee I was happy and said great they are making it better- However once our extra hour was the start a new and extremely rude employee denied the previous grant- she was awful to us yelling about trash. And inserting herself in the party. She stood over one of the servers and was so rude to him. This I felt was unacceptable and such a poor reflection on the event space. The only way I would ever come back is I was assured in writing accommodations and that same older woman was not working.

Closed to cars! Will you believe it?…read more Nonetheless an awesome historical site. Colonial farmers and adventurers from New York, came down to resettle and work the lands around hills at this site. There is an info stand, some benches, about 20 car spots and trails that lead you to the Sully home above the knoll, overlooking the fields. The main building also doubles as a - I am going to call it, a motel or Youth Hostel (or something or other) - sleep over in the Summer. The caretakers were busy posting flyers and moving supplies, but I for the life of me could not figure out why the main road to the Sully home was CLOSED! The Sully site home is regal, although a bit olden and dilapidated (paint peeling etc.), and the grounds seemed in real need of a professional landscaper. All about were elderly visitors, who all were forced to walk the long windy trails in the sizzling, burning Virginia heat. Sully Site: get your hours straight and open up the roads so folks twice my age can enjoy them too! What's up with that?? Wide, fancy, rolling-hilled historic site which was used on and off by Confederate soldiers as a makeshift field hospital for those who had been maimed by the Union Army. Sully Site sits West of D.C., and because it was in Virginia, was a great vantage point for a flow of information on the Capitol: both from the North and the South. Peaceful. Well marked trails and info stands! Rebel review: 5

I came here without expectations and open to what I would see. The area is very walkable.There's a visitor center . It has information and artifacts from the property . It's also where tour tickets can be purchased .I was able to tour the grounds, including the recreated enslaved quarters. I was able to go inside of the enslaved quarters. Some of the buildings are undergoing renovations and can only be viewed from the outside. This includes the main house.The guide stood in the middle of the grassy area and talked about the main house. He also showed pictures of the inside. Yes, this area was part of the Underground Railroad , but not as a beacon of freedom. It is also on the national registry of historic places. Owned by north Virginia's first congressman and his family this was a working plantation. At one point it was also used by confederate soldiers. Give yourself at least 45 minutes for the grounds.

The path leads to a fork in the road which is a circle within the countryside that also leads to views of Bull Run mountain. Address says Leesburg although the majority of the park is more in the Aldie area. When the sun is out, this park glistens and gleams with the well-maintained cut grass and trimmed bushes. The pathways are clear allowing for clear views of the beautiful blue skies and sounds of nature.

I went in January so I didn't run into that problem. It is grassy, meadowlike trails, so I can see where in the warm months there could be ticks. So many trails to get lost on and enjoy the natural beauty. I read there are 20 miles of trails and that in the spring the fields are filled with wildflowers. The trails are fairly easy hiking. Mostly flat with some small inclines from time to time but like I said, mostly meadow hiking. The only thing I wish was different was clearer signage around the trailheads. It took me awhile to figure out where certain trails began and where to access them. Once you're on them they are clearly marked. I've lived here all my life and this is certainly a hidden gem.

Lots of creatures live outdoors. LoL. Be prepared. You should apply sunscreen and then apply your bug spray. Wear socks that you can roll up if the grass gets high or roll down as needed. I have 50 hair ties in my bookbag. It gets hot, hair goes up. Don't hate it here because nature got the best of you. Try again in the fall. That's my plan anyway. The bugs were hungry today for sure. I spayed the first 10 min here and then I had to spray again an hour later! They bite thru your clothes so spray your clothing as well. I have never had issues w/ticks. Luckily they don't like me. IDK why but I spray my shoes too just in case. The trails are very well maintained. Mostly they are in the sun but there's a fair share if shady trails also. I did have some issues on the white oak trail. I had to stop and look for it at one point. It just faded out. Also on the White Oak trail I caught all the spider webs w/my body so thank me later! I felt like a cocoon coming off that trail. Yeck. I see they are growing trees and also put in some goats to keep the vegetation back. It's quite invasive for sure. So, yes I think fall would be nice. No bugs, less invasive plants and no leaves on the trees means I can see the view of Bull Run Mtn that much better. I enjoyed exploring this place. I'm pretty sure I'll be back.
