This park just opened up in South Stafford County (Fredericksburg Va) on Saturday June 6 2015…read more As my husband and I had to walk a LONG ways to the park, we had to avoid the soccer balls that were flying over and around us, as the trail leads you behind the goal area. The players didn't speak English so there was no warning, just be careful. Then we saw a lady, carrying her mid sized dog (no leash) and looked very tired. Shes said that the larger dog area has no 4th sided fence, and only a "natural barrier" (as mentioned in the newspaper) and her dog was gone for an hour. The husband had the leash and they found each other back at the dog area. Also, there was no double gate on the smaller dog area, which is a huge mistake. You need to stop dogs from running out, so the double gate is a must. I did see one on the larger dog area though, but no fence on the other side doesn't help. Just wanted to warn people, since I saw no info yet about this new park. I'm sure the volunteers that built it, really meant well. Just poor planning, and can be improved upon.

We brought our dogs here for the first time. They had a blast! There are toys, water and chairs…read more There is a area for small dogs under 30 pounds, one for big dogs then another open area for all sizes. I say open, but it is surrounded by trees and partially fenced. There is access to the river behind the mixed area. Prepare for muddy feet though. There is now a double gate at the small dog area

My husband & I stumbled upon this park when looking for things to do in Fredericksburg. We will be…read morerelocating in the coming months & wanted to get to know the area! The park is pretty big. There are a ton of trails, picnic tables, playgrounds for the kiddos, & a stream that runs all the way through the park. It's a great spot to take family photos and to enjoy one with nature! We love taking our dogs & letting them play in the stream. We have only gone to the park during the fall/winter time, so I can only assume how busy it is in the summer. The trails are dog friendly & we always stumble upon a new trail when visiting (who wants to do the same trail over & over again? Not me!). If you bring the doggies, make sure to also pack a towel & some water. There is no dedicated water station for them. I can't recall if there are poop stations along the trails, so bring those too! I also recommend calling the park ahead of time to see if they are open. There are times after a heavy rainfall that the stream is too high to cross with a vehicle. In this case, you'll have to park on the outside of the park. Another big thing is you have to drive pass an apartment complex (kinda weird I know) in order to enter the park. Don't be alarmed though! You will definitely see the park entrance if you keep going. I give this park a 5 star because it never disappoints. There is always something to do & my fur babies love it. I will definitely be back & can't wait to check it out in the summer! If you are in the Fredericksburg area, go to Alum Spring Park & enjoy the beautiful nature views!

There's plenty of space for the dogs to run and then play in the water. My only heads up - the bridge to the parking lot isn't gated.

Even from Fredericksburg it's a decent drive, and if you're coming from DC or Richmond the space is not especially notable (and I've reviewed plenty of alternatives). For my specific travel route, it made sense. The trails were, in no small part, gravel roads. It took me a little over half an hour to walk to the marsh, but there wasn't a boardwalk or anything really to do at the marsh. The most notable wildlife I found was a bevy of dragonflies. Whatever was in the water was not interested in hanging out with me, though I did spot a rather large turtle looking down at the estuarine Potomac. Some people were carrying up kayaks, and I definitely think there's some good activities to be done here.
