    Took my son to the kids park. Would give it 4 stars if there was more shade. Went on a morning in…read moreJune, it quickly became too hot for him to play due to lack of shade. Looked like lots of other activities to do in the area like tennis courts etc.

    I can easily bump up Lynnhaven Park an additional star after learning there was much more. I only…read moreuse the basketball courts which I have previously reviewed. However, after going around the back when visiting the Great Neck Library I made a discovery... the front of the park. The entrance to Lynnhaven Park is off Old Donation Parkway, then a turn on Bayne Dr. It is a little tricky. The park is across the street from the fire station and library. There is parking at this location. By far the biggest reason my review jumps up to three stars is the availability of joint public/school tennis courts. Eight courts that can be lite at night, they are super nice. Nearby Lynnhaven Middle School also uses them and I imagine has priority when the need. There is league play at this location and a schedule is posted. Other than that this is open for anyone to use. Also there is a ball field that appears to be solely public and has an awesome infield. Outfield could use work as it is ridden with crab grass and patchy. It is also a lite field for night time play. Lynnhaven MS has there own ball field beside this one to utilize. A newer playground and swings sets on a bed of mulch was a welcome find too. There are four small shelters around it with a picnic table. There is no field for recreation in this area. A building behind the tennis courts houses the restrooms. However, they are out of order and locked up which I have a problem with. The water fountain is also out of order. This needs to be rectified and put back online for the park. At this point a port a pot is being used. It is located right outside the tennis court entrance. I have never seen one VB park that utilizes a port a potty as its sole means for visitors to utilize. The crowning jewel of this park are the tennis courts, they are that nice. But without restrooms and a very aging basketball court detached from the rest of the park I cannot justify moving it up further. Check this park out, it's right under your nose off of First Court.

    I've passed this park a few times driving on Lynnhaven and finally decided to take the little one…read more This park has a bit of everything and I heard from another parent was recently updated. There is a swing set for infants and another for bigger kids. There are several climbing sets as well as a great climbing rope/tarp unit that has a rather large slide at the top. So great for the toddler/bigger kids to not get bored with. There's also a smaller playground set for little toddlers with a cool roller slide. In case that's not what you're looking for, there's a small skate area that I think would be fun for beginners. Lots of grassy area in case you bring a pup or the kids want to run around for a game of tag. Just down the path, there's a basketball court that looks almost new. This park has more than I expected and the little one loved it! Will be coming back for sure.

    We had stopped at Glory's Bakery for lunch but when we arrived, we discovered that their dining…read morearea was closed, so we pivoted and decided to take our food to a nearby park and that ended up being Brigadoon Pines Park that was nearby. It was so nice to go down memory lane and bring my kids back to their first park ever, from the time they were born to when we left! They don't remember it of course, but I do! When we were stationed here the first time around, we lived in Brigadoon and this was our go-to park. I remember pushing them on the baby swings, hearing them giggle as they went down the slides and also being absolutely terrified as a first time mom that they would fall off one of the open ledges with their wobbly little legs. The park has been well maintained 6 years later and they've made an addition, a skate boarding ramp. The park also features a playground structure with ramp, baby swings, regular swings, a basketball court, a grassy field, benches facing every play area and a picnic table with a shelter equipped with a trash can. This is where our little group enjoyed our delicious lunch from Glory's. The kids had a great time playing before and after our meal. There's also ample parking. This park will always have a special place in my heart! Stay safe, Friends!

    This is the Student Center for Virginia Wesleyan, a private liberal arts university located in NW…read moreVirginia Beach within steps of the Norfolk line. It wouldn't surprise me if part of the campus is actually located in Norfolk. The Wesleyan Drive gatehouse is easily accessed by turning south off Northampton Boulevard just east of the I-64 interchange. One first passes the Norfolk Academy campus before reaching Virginia Wesleyan. The Student Center is named for a major donor in Coastal Virginia. The center certainly lives up to her name. I was there for a late afternoon/early event which was held in a large 2nd floor meeting room. Finding the Student Center on the larger than expected campus was quite easy thanks to detailed directions from the gatehouse employee. University & event personnel directed me to a spacious parking area that was a much longer walk than I would have hoped for. But it was perfect for able bodied students. Another pleasant university employee greeted me at the door & gave directions to the event. This, too, was a little further than my arthritic body would have preferred but was perfect for the students it served. At 6pm and upon my exit the portions of the Student Center I walked through were teeming with student activity. There were multiple physical activities, socializing & a small area to order food. I passed a bin filled with volleyballs for student use with students sitting on an adjacent ledge. The center is clean, new, ascetically pleasing and a definite positive for both the students & university. The only negatives I noted were that the entrance sat off the main street through campus in an area that was treed on one side. Even in this gated, fenced in campus it would have made me nervous without university personnel keeping watch. I'm certain that this doesn't bother the young students at all. I also would have preferred closer parking. Ditto on the fact that this isn't a problem for the able bodied students it serves. The student center appears to be the heart beat of campus. The Batten family donation was put to good use.

    The Jane P. Batten Student Center is located on the campus of Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk,…read moreVA. It opened in 1992 at a cost of 18.6 million dollars with it's main purpose to provide a house for the men and women basketball teams. However, the building is much more than a gymnasium that serves as the location for VWC basketball, and volleyball. It's 137,000 square feet is the nucleus for most student recreation activity on campus. Let me go over a few of the things that are housed in this beautiful building. Men and Women Basketball and Volleyball with an elevated track above. A second gym with hoops, but serves almost any activity including archery, fencing among others. A dance studio, a student study area, a student cafeteria, and many athletic offices and several classrooms at the second level. There is also the schools only book store that sells everything Marlins and of course textbooks. The Jane P. Batten also offers a food court named Sandella's which cranks out some really delicious food and smoothies. A large dining room in the food court accommodates a lot of students. To the back is a nicer lounge area with chairs and couches. This area has some fun recreation things for the students to do such as ping pong, Foosball table and one of those long tables with circular pucks that slide down on saw dust. On the far side of the student center is a rock climbing wall, a large fitness area, three racquetball courts and a 25 yard 8 land swimming pool with hot tub. To the back of the food court is an outdoor sand volleyball pit. Ample parking is around the building, but be warned if there is a campus event all best are OFF!!! You must always check in with campus security before admittance. They are nice and will help direct you if your unsure where you are going. The Marlins have much to be proud of and this building is a testament to campus leaders who made it happen with the kind assistance of the Batten family.

    This is a city park that's a very long overdue yelp. The reason, I had no idea what the name was…read more Late this Summer they finally installed the sign by the road. Mind you it's not a new park. Unusual for VB Parks Department to not be on top of. The location has high visibility off Great Neck Rd. It's North of Virginia Beach Blvd. parking is by a small gravel lot. Overflow nearby business across the street on off hours I suspect. The landscape is non existent, but not needed. The grass was freshly mowed and tall pines add shade and beauty. Unfortunately there was a lot of debris around the basketball court. I would consider the area to be safe. London Bridge Park is straight forward. It has a ball field and full court basketball court that's it No shelter, no restrooms and no playground. I saw at least one trash can at the entrance and it was within it boundaries. I have never witnessed a baseball game in progress when passing by. It has a great infield and fenced in back stop. The outfield is level and not fenced in. There are no lights for night play. It is open to the public and assume there is a schedule of games during the season. The full court basketball is not regulation length. It has a concrete floor that looks newer. The hoops and nets in great shape. No lights for after dark play. It appears the debris was recent, like probably last night with it being Friday. All of the trash was located within 25 feet of a can. Since I had the time I picked it all up. If your interested in baseball or basketball before sunset this is your place. 3.5 rounding down with no amenities and debris.
