Lineberry Park is a quiet, small neighborhood park. It has a playground, a very small field, and…read moresmall wooded areas with established trees. The park is mostly clean overall. It isn't excessively busy but has a continuous flow of families in and out. -- The Playground -- The playground area with wood chip mulch is best for elementary school aged children. The equipment is in generally good condition; with close supervision it's good for younger children (note that there are moderate gaps in the openings along the playground system). The highest slide feels a bit unstable. There are baby/toddler swings and regular swings, which are pretty high off the ground for children. There's also numerous climbing options. The playground is in full shade; the shade is mostly from sweetgum (gumball) trees, so I wouldn't recommend it for pets. -- Benches & Pavilions -- There is one pavilion with one picnic table beneath it. There is a trash can not far from it and another can in the parking lot. There are a few benches along the perimeter of the playground. -- Walking Areas & Accessibility -- There are no paths or walking areas within the park, except for the paved path from the parking lot to the pavilion that ends just before the playground. Lineberry Park has a ramp to access the play structure to make it more accessible to people with differing abilities. -- Sporting Equipment -- There are no other equipment options other than the playground. -- Amenities -- There is only a portable toilet (no plumbing), so not ideal for a long visit. -- Parking -- There is a gravel parking lot owned by the city and designated for the park. There's one handicapped accessible parking spot and other unmarked spots. -- Things to Note -- It is behind St. Francis Episcopal Church. Other than the fence by the parking lot, the perimeter of the park is a moderate ditch. There is no fence or physical boundary between the park and the neighboring properties, but a few of the houses have their own fences. It's not right next to water, but there's water slightly further down on S. Rosemont Rd, so with that and the shade, mosquitoes are a moderate issue. -- Takeaways -- This is nice, somewhat older neighborhood park not far from S. Rosemont Rd. The main attraction is its playground. If you are in the area and armed with bug spray, it's worth a visit for children. I wouldn't suggest traveling out of your way for it though as there are lots of other parks in VB to enjoy, many with more offerings.

The…read morebeautiful neighborhood park is not only scenic, but is almost always dead even Summer weekends. So let's get down to logistics. The park is in Bayside, around a mile East from Pembroke Meadows school on a dead end Pembroke Blvd. Pembroke Meadows Recreation Center is directly across the street. The park offers a beautiful water view with a canopy of beautiful tall pines for shade. There are around a half dozen picnic tables and a few charcoal grills. A drawback is no shelter, or restroom facilities. In the center is a small kids play area for 12&U which I find hard to believe a child over 9 would enjoy. It's in great shape and offers a curly slide and two small slides. There are also climbing elements. Also offered are swings for both toddlers and older children. Now from a nervous parents perspective. Also from a guy that lives at pools and preaches water safety. You MUST be extremely diligent when bringing small children to this park. Especially if they cannot swim and prone to gravitate to water. There is one large area that you can just walk right out in knee depth water and does get deeper. Come check this quaint city park out. Just don't tell the neighbors know I let cat out of the bag.

It has swings, slides, and teeters for both toddlers and bigger kids. There's also lots of open green space if you want to throw/kick a ball. Luckily, we visited on a beautiful fall day. There's not a lot of shade, so summer visits may be rough. There was one covered shelter and several benches around the playground. Keep in mind, this is a neighborhood playground. There is no convenient parking available. However, we were able to park along the curve in front of the playground without any issues.

This location is on the Virginia Beach/Norfolk line. This is a neighborhood park maintained by the city of Virginia Beach. It's behind the Farm Fresh grocery strip mall at the corner of Diamond Springs Rd. and Wesleyan Dr. I am surprised that I never saw it before, but you can see it even though it's back a ways. Parking is off the street and plenty of it for a neighborhood park. Hours are sun up to sun down. The area is safe for children to play and recreate. The playground is nothing special at all. It's a very basic park with almost no amenities. The equipment is in good condition, I saw no graffiti on any surface. There are four pieces of equipment. The central playground, two sets of swings that include toddler swings and a climbing piece. There are two benches within the playground. The mulch appears fresh and no debris has been present. There is also a small shelter with a picnic table. However, there is no BBQ grill which you will usually find. I have been there on several occasions with debris present in the shelter area. A trash can is present by the shelter was had been recently emptied. There are no restrooms which is customary at these type of small local parks like this. This is NOT a Virginia Beach sanctioned dog park. There is no station for picking up dog litter at the park.The field behind the playground is humongous and not fenced. By far this green space is the best thing Cypress Point has going for it. The grass is not out of control, but on my last visit it was overdue for a mow. Bottom line, the park is extremely functional as a park and the green space makes it useful for both kids and dogs. I find the park convenient for me since I reside close and find myself at VWC several times a week. I am a 2.5, round to a 3.

And no, I'm not referring to sketchy taboo adult activities - because this is a family park! Like basketball? You can totally play here... when the court isn't flooded... so maybe once a week if you're lucky! There's also a killer juvenile obstacle course for all the junior operators in your family unit - and a legit tire swing with a 100% artificial, non-organic tire to lose your lunch on whilst spinning like a nut-job! Think that's all? No way man! There's grass, lots and lots of grass for your dog to sniff and relieve itself on... just be sure to pack everything out in an air-tight container (cause it's the law)! "Yo, is that a Blackhawk hovering over my head?" You might ask yourself that at least once during your visit here - the answer is yes, but shhhhhhh... OPSEC. Come play kids! PS, only 4 stars for the constant flooding and low level of city maintenance. But it's the safest park in the city!

More over if you reside in Norfolk this should be a recreation area that you frequent. The park is in one word expansive and stretches wide and long. I think you will love hearing more about this Norfolk gem. Although not a new park by any stretch, as a matter of fact it's a petty old park. Located off of Tidewater Dr. a quarter of a mile in a residential area. However, it is well maintained with newer equipment and some extras in the rear that I will elaborate on. I will work myself from front to back of property for this review. Parking is huge! I have never seen it even a quarter full even with events. It is well maintained, but usually has some amount of debris around. The park office is also located up front too. You will find older clean restrooms that are used by not only park goers, but during the week it acts like a rest stop. There are two ball fields to the right. Two all purpose fields to the left used for football and soccer. Both are used for Norfolk Recreation League. Since I am not a resident of Norfolk I am unsure how the sign up process works, however there is info at the park office. All the way to the left is a full court basketball court, however the surface is in horrid condition.. Directly to the rear is the huge tennis center with nine courts, you read correctly NINE and it's lit. There is also league play for adults. The court is kept in great condition. In the center are the playgrounds which have anything but regular equipment. Slides, swings and unique items you will NOT find in any other park. One of my daughters favorite is one that you get on and slide back and forth. Another one twirls you around, so hold on tight. There are also three nice shelters with bbq grills. All of this is in close proximity of each other. Now let's move to the rear of the property close to the water. The Lakewood Dance and Music Studio offers classes, clinics etc. through the Norfolk Parks and Recreation system. If you are not a Norfolk resident there is an up charge. My daughter who is a dancer at a VB studio attends clinics. The Tidewater Rowing Center is at the very rear of the grounds. It's main build is very large and two stories. This is also home to ODU Rowing. Two good size out buildings house rigging and row equipment for the club and ODU. Two drawbacks to this park are debris, it seems like no matter how hard the staff clean up its around. On a visit tonight someone had pushed over a can apparently on purpose. Another issue is an element of homeless/transients. They have never bothered me, but I don't like it. Lakewood has a lot to offer and is a terrific facility in the Norfolk park system. Come see for yourself.

Eureka Park, named after Eureka Brickyard company, is a small neighborhood park located off…read moreVirginia Beach Boulevard, near Lynnhaven Parkway. It has a playground and small field. The park is quite clean overall with very minor amounts of litter. -- The Playground -- The small playground area with wood chip mulch is best for younger elementary school aged children. The equipment is in generally good condition; with close supervision it's good for younger children (note that there are gaps in the openings along the playground system), and those who are a bit older congregate or toss a football, etc in the small field. There are 2 baby/toddler swings and 2 regular swings. The playground is in partial shade. -- Benches & Pavilions -- There is one small pavilion/picnic shelter with one picnic table beneath it. There is one trash can not far from it. There are a couple benches along the perimeter of the playground. -- Walking Areas -- There are no paths or walking areas within the park, although you could wander around the small field. -- Sporting Equipment -- There is a basketball court to the left of the picnic shelter/pavilion. -- Amenities -- There are no toilet amenities, so not ideal for a long visit. -- Parking -- There is on-street parking available along the perimeter of the park. -- Things to Note -- There is a very low, one-tier fence between the park and roads. -- Takeaways -- This is a very simple, quiet, average at best (with regards to equipment) neighborhood park most accessible to the nearby neighborhood. I wouldn't suggest traveling out of your way for it as there are lots of other parks in VB to enjoy, many with more offerings. Nonetheless, we have pleasant visits there.
