Pads and helmet weren't required here. They don't enforce it. Saw a lot of the kiddies getting hurt. Small space and not enough room. Only for kids under 10 years old in our opinion. Most of the workers are volunteers and not skaters.

Mekos is a really cool skate and surf shop that also has a skate park built into the back. This was…read moresuch a cool discovery for me to make, that I can only imagine how cool it must be to discover if you actually skateboard. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by one of their friendly staff members. I asked a bunch of questions about the skate park and they were very helpful. The storefront side of that serves as the front of the store is well executed and organized. There's plexiglass in the back separating the park from the store. For those interested, their session times are as follows: 10am-12pm $3.50. 12pm-3pm $7.00. 3pm-6pm $7.00. And 6pm-9pm $7.00. No half sessions and girls "sk8" free. They also offer lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4pm-8:30pm and they cost $20/hour. Furthermore, they have VIP Memberships available Monthly: $55, Quarterly: $140, and Yearly: $500. A VIP Membership offers unlimited skating and in-store discounts. A very cool place and concept overall.

Initially, before I even visited this park my thoughts were, it's just a simple huge field with a…read moreflat path. Well I was wrong in a sense. Clearly it is a simple roundabout flat paved circuit, but it's so much more than that to many different people. One, it's great for me because I'm not supposed to navigate uneven terrain yet. There was plenty of real estate to do my walk and give the regenerated ankle some exercise. I didn't walk around the elementary school nearby, just the path immediately that encompasses the bathroom. That path alone twice was a little over 2 miles roughly. The park is perfect if you have well behaved dogs. Plenty of room for Fido to run around. There were several people with their dogs walking. I saw a man run his remote controlled car through the field and walkways, a kid and his parental vision ride across on a dirt bike, and a man and his little kid on his atv. You name it! The field is massive you really won't run into anyone because of the amount of space! There were several soccer goals out there too. I'm sure this a perfect place for Impromptu soccer games and football games, they probably even hold games there. There isn't many benches, I saw at least one aside from the ones in the two mini shelters. There isn't a lot of shade so if you want to get some sun this a good place. There are trees along parts of the path for partial shade. I feel this would be a good place to teach kids how to ride a bike, or to cruise on a skateboard. Close to the parking lot they have outdoor exercise equipment provided by AARP that is protected by sun shades which is wonderful! I got on the elliptical bike for a minute or so and did step ups on the various level platforms. It's a good resource for anyone really! I think it's great and I'm thankful that it's available for anyone to use. Super smart as well to place sun shades up high to protect people from the sun as well as to protect the longevity of the equipment. Bathrooms are close to the parking lot with water fountains.

We are bummed that they locked up the back fence to the neighborhood. It was perfect and easy access on our walks. There is a clean restroom and water fountain. There are places for people to bbq. There is a little playground area for different ages of elementary kids to play at Diamond Springs ES. They also have basketball courts. They provide doggy bags & trash receptacles around the track. Very nice area. The only downfall is the damn geese. Who can we sell these geese to?! They're awful and they poop EVERYWHERE. So nasty.

During the Cold War, the United States feared bombings from the Soviets, and created a Nike surface-to-air missile system. Because of that, Nike-Ajax Missile Base was started due to the large military installations in Hampton Roads. "The Carrollton Nike Missile Battery, N-75, was operational by 1954 and was one of eight bases that made up the Norfolk Defense Area. As with all continental bases, it consisted of two areas: a launch area and a control area. These two sites were connected by an underground cable system that enabled them to communicate" (http://www.historicisleofwight.com/nike-park.html). Here are the wonderful amenities at NP: * Restrooms with water fountains * Large playground * Skate/BMX park * Tennis courts * Picnic Tables with grills * Fishing Pier on Jones Creek * Nature trail * Mountain bike trail (the trail is about 2.5-miles but it's not a loop--you have to either turn around or follow the field out) * Softball/soccer fields * Basketball Courts * Senior Center * Recreation hall and multi-purpose room * Beautiful, old trees especially around the playground I had been to NP a couple of times, but I didn't realize the wonderful mountain bike trail, and the historic ties to the park. I will be taking my boys here soon to use the mountain bike trail, and check out the location of the underground missile magazines. NP is a wonderful park to visit, and so many things to do. For More Information: Here is video about the history of Nike-Ajax Missile Base on Nike Park.

I believe this place was recently renovated several years ago and it looks amazing! This place is perfectly located in the Fairfield area and has quite a few amenities including a skate park (I've seen people on rollerblades, scooters, and skateboards!), fairly large playground with multiple slides and swings, outdoor grill / party area, two pickleball courts, a tennis court and dog park as well. I've been several times this summer and it's always been clean and organized. I just wished that the "front" parking area had more spaces to park but there are plenty of spaces in the back, it's just a further walk to the park itself. The playground is updated and fun for all ages, especially toddlers and young kids. There's plenty of space to run around and play and never feels crowded here. Highly recommend this playground if you're looking for a new spot to check out !

No track field, but they do have a large path where you can walk, run, or ride bikes. Not that much scenery to see. They have baseball games from time to time, and with the weather getting warmer, the games are becoming more frequent. There are 2 picnic tables in the main area and a small playground with swings. For the first time today, I saw that they have a concession stand and will update later with prices! Overall, nice park and people will greet you if you're walking.
