I recently visited this park and it was honestly a pretty disappointing experience. The grass was…read moreovergrown and looked like it hadn't been maintained in a while. Several trash cans were overflowing, and there was litter scattered around the walking paths. The playground equipment also seemed worn down and not very clean. On top of that, the bathrooms were in poor condition and didn't seem to be cleaned regularly. It made the whole park feel neglected. Parks are supposed to be relaxing places to spend time outside, but this one just felt poorly taken care of. I hope the city puts more effort into maintaining it because it could be a really nice spot if it were cleaner and better managed.

That's not a huge loss, but for those who love angling, it's disappointing. Such is life as River Mill Park has some nice river views. My guess is when it warms up, maybe they'll have some outdoor concerts or family events here. Park in the public lots. This isn't a long walk. There's the cheesy "Love" sign you can get a picture with your significant other if you have one. I do like that there was a menorah and Christmas tree. Today this plus the holidays wreaths on the bridge were done with class. The new rocking bench is solid. Do I wish it was wooden? Yep but it's probably for safety reasons. The walkways had some ice on them. Definitely watch your step. I think this is a good place to chill from the busy land of northern Virginia. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by here.

We were sold on the good deal to do any water activities in a one or two hour timeframe. We decided to do tandem kayaking. the $13 for an hour came with a life vest, paddle, and the kayak. It was a relatively easy process to rent, and once we got out there, it was beautiful! My favorite time to go out on the water is during the summer, because the trees are full and fluffy. We'd definitely do this again, and with a larger group so we can all enjoy being outside!

First time kayaking- I can't swim but once I got over the fear it was so peaceful. It was eerily quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Old Bridge Road. Can't wait for my next venture. I may try the standing boards. We paid $12.00 for a one hour rental. They surprisingly opened at 6am in Sunday's in the summer. It wasn't crowded but just enough people were you feel safe but you can still enjoy solitudes. Can't wait to go back!

Cute park to take the kids to or a peaceful spot to walk the trail. It has two playgrounds (one for…read moresmaller children and one for bigger kids), swings, a baseball field, and a basketball court. There's also a gazebo area that's perfect for lunch and a few benches where parents can relax. The park is conveniently located right next to the Waterworks Splash Pad, where kids can swim during the summer before enjoying a picnic under the gazebos. One downside is that there's only a porta-potty on site, and it isn't very clean--so it's best to make a restroom stop before arriving.

The forest trails here are so pretty and most of the time there's no one else there. It's just me, the birds (listen for the woodpeckers!), the abundant squirrels, and an occasional deer. There are many different entrances to the trails, so you can look at the maps online and decide which one you'd like to take. (Look up Neabsco Greenway TrThe trees are marked with different colors/lines to help you know which trail you are on. However, I do recommend bringing a phone with GPS capabilities if you are going for a long walk, just in case you happen to lose your way, especially as the landscape changes with the seasons. Most of the path will be gravel or flat dirt, although some sections can get really muddy if there's been a good rain. They also recommend using tick spray, although I've never had any bites when sticking to the established trails. Be sure to be respectful to others by staying at least 6 feet away if you happen to cross paths. These trails provide a great place to get some fresh air and enjoy nature!

Seen a lot of people here…read morewalking themselves like I was, walking dogs, or just having the family out to get them out the house because of all this hysteria that's going on right now! I love the views and they even have a lot of stations with equipment that you can utilize to still get in a good full body workout if you use them and a little imagination! Funny thing is kind of glad to switch things up and see what's in the neighborhood because I've been here over 5-years and never venture out to any of the parks in the area. Now that I'm basically made to do this to still get my exercise on its pretty cool. Really disappointed that they taped off the exercise stations as well as they closed the boardwalk! I just come here to walk/jog just to get out the house. Good size parking lot hopefully they don't try and close that up too soon...smdh

Nice little park tucked into neighborhoods and near a Giant-but it feels like you're worlds away…read moreonce you're on the lake trail. There are two separate playgrounds before the trail-one for 2-5, the other 5-12. The younger kids is on mulch while the older kids has softer padding. There are baby swings, no big swings here.

The trail is stroller-friendly too.

Your best bet is on neighborhood streets. Even then this can be cumbersome. As for fishing a disappointment. On the south side I've caught small bluegill and sunfish. People claim there are bass, but I'm skeptical of this. It's possible but due to the small size of this lake, a limited amount along with any decent keepers. This isn't to say it's worthless. Occasionally during the fall I can get some good outdoor pictures. Bird species are limited.
