Living in Newport News, trail walking has been a great hobby for myself. Checking out local nature…read moretrails has been one that I'm trying to upgrade. And it looks like I found a brand new one to add to my locations. Riverview Farm Park is located by Menchville High School. It has a playground area and soccer field for kids to play. They also have group shelters reserved for large picnics. For you trail lovers, they have a 2-mile loop where you can walk, jog or run. Some can even ride bikes. There aren't many trees around so walking during the summertime may not be your cup of tea. But it was really nice to take a morning stroll here with friends, even during cold weather. Everything was paved, which helps when your avoiding water puddles and such. Also, there is a separate trail located by the park visitor center where you have a view of the Warwick River. We didn't get the chance to go that route but will check it out when the weather becomes warmer. Again, this trail gets a thumbs up from yours truly and my friends. Till next time :)

Eh, I guess it's good for the little ones to run a little to burn off some energy. Not too much to…read moreit though. Not to mention the fact the mall itself was so hot.

Ok, this park is PERFECT. No, seriously. It has reached park perfection. There is the biggest (and…read moremost fun looking) playground that I've ever seen. There looks to be some sort of 'ship' for their imagination as well as several slides and merry go rounds and everything to keep the little ones busy. Going around this park, is a walking trail. It's not too long, its not too short. It's just right. You can leisurely stroll around the entire park, taking a break to watch the kiddies or...and this is the best part, watch the pooches. Among it's perfection, this park has three, VERY large dog parks. Two for the biggies (they need the room) and one GINORMOUS park for the Lil Napoleons (ever meet a small dog that didn't have a Napoleon complex?) This dog park is so big that after throwing the ball for 30 minutes, my very energetic poodle came up to me panting heavily & I swear I could hear "Uncle" as he dropped the ball & walked away. The grounds inside the dog parks are kept beautifully. There is a volunteer who faithfully cleans out the water bowls, picks up anything that parents left behind, supplies balls to all of the parks & for a bonus will even snuggle any pet needing a confidence boost. I am very hesitant in writing this review because if word spreads too far & fast, then everyone will want to come here & there will be a line. There are very friendly owners that come to this park, all different breeds. One day it will be all poodles, doodles, chichipoos, doxies...you just never know who you will meet!

It's…read morevery easy to lose your kid while other children are running due to different obstacles they have in the playground. There are also areas where kids can hide under a slide and steps. 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!

We absolutely love this park…read more It is so nice that there is rubber down instead of mulch that gets stuck in the children's shoes. There are several slides so everyone can go down. There is a sunshade over top to help cut down on it being hot from the sun. There is plenty of grass around for children to run in as well if they wanna bring a ball. There are 2 tables with a shade so that you can sit and eat. Plenty of parking and clean restrooms.

Nearby are soccer nets and expansive field spaces to chill, play, dance, picnic, whatever. There are covered pavilions with grills on the other side of the park. Parking on the playground side was limited, but there is plenty of parking throughout the park. Apparently there is a waterfront area, I didn't venture that far. Also I saw people exercising along the paved walkways. Some kids were a little rowdy, but that's to be expected I guess? Get there early to beat the rush.
