    Love this park! Easy parking right near the trailhead. The majority of the trails are under a heavy…read moreblanket of tree cover, so nice & shady! The floating dock boardwalk takes you over the marsh area where you can see all the beautiful plant growth, butterflies, frogs & fish! Such a nice park for a Saturday afternoon hike!

    Absolutely gorgeous park with a mixed paved, bridged and natural trail! The park has various…read moreentrances, but I would recommend parking by the playground and entering the trail that way. The beginning of the trail does consist of a winding descent so keep that in mind as the incline back can be hard for some. Once you get down you'll find yet another playground with a fun insect/nature theme. Making this a fun spot for kids and families. The amazing part of this park is the bridge that allows you to walk through the marshlands, the bridge does shake a little bit but overall felt pretty sturdy. It offers stunning views and is a lovely deviation from other nature trails. There are a variety of marked natural trails that vary in intensity/length making this place a great spot for all levels. Along the trails are also little lookouts so you can really enjoy the views. The trails are a bit secluded so you may want a trail buddy if you plan to walk past the marsh bridge if visibility is important to you. The trails are mainly wooded which offers a nice amount of shade which is great for the warmer months. There is also tons of parking available and multiple shelters for picnics or events. Overall, this is an amazing park and definitely worth a little drive to check out!

    **There are four regional parks in Suffolk: Bennett's Creek, Lake Meade, Lone Star Lake and Sleepy…read moreHole. But, there are also 14 neighborhood parks as well. I am going to visit as many as I can before I move next month. That is my last parting gift to Suffolk.** Neighborhood Park #7 out of 14 Park #7 took me and my youngest to the southern end of Suffolk--all the way to Holland. If you didn't know, Suffolk is the largest city in Virginia by area as well as the 14th largest in the country. Suffolk is HUGE! To give you an idea, I live close to downtown Suffolk -in the middle of the city- and Holland Park and Athletic Fields (HPAF) is 13 miles from me. With a population of only 90,000, it's kind of crazy to think about. Amenities: *3 Picnic Tables *Benches *Playground with swings *Grassy field with a couple of old Magnolia Trees that gives lovely shade *Baseball/Softball Fields with Bleachers, Concession and Tables *Restrooms Located in the Historic Holland District, HPAF is in a nice little part of the city, and it was my first time being there. There's nothing special about this 9-acre park unless you live in this area, but my son and I both enjoyed checking out the really old Magnolia Tree. That part of the park has its own little section with a couple of picnic tables--separate from the playground and ball fields--very quiet, peaceful and lots of shade from the trees. It also has a decent sized grassy field. Because of its location, the restrooms, and the old trees--I'm giving it my first 4 stars out of the neighborhood parks that I've reviewed so far.
