Unfortunately, this lessen has been proven time and time again as my dog is shared with my father who insists on taking him there because he has dementia and forgets that every year he takes the dog, this happens.

Not a bad spot- especially for very curious pups to explore wildlife/nature uninhibited. Owners…read morecan rest assured their dogs are in a large confined area with tree stumps to jump on and hills to explore. No separate area for small dogs. My puppy has never been to a park before so this was a litttttle much but all the other older dogs seemed to have a hoot chasing each other around! No water source as mentioned. Plenty of sticks to fetch and owners are pretty friendly. Gotta try a few new spots before thinking this one is anymore more than OK

It's a decent dog park, but the others in the area, are better than this one. Great folks and of course, dogs of all sizes in the chained up area. If you want to wear a dog out this works. There's a few benches to relax. Parking is plentiful. This spot can get crowded though. I do wish the county could upgrade it a bit. Will they? Not sure but hope so. For now it's basic, but hoping more will be added.

This dog park is very simple. Wide open space enclosed with a chain link fence. There's only about…read more3 park benches within the enclosed area for pet owners and no water station for the dogs. The ground consists of dirt and small gravel reminiscent of kitty litter so probably not a good park to visit after it rains because your pup will be a muddy mess. The wide open space is great for the dogs to run around though and expel some energy. So far this place is the biggest dog park in diameter than any other I've visited in the area. Plus there's a nice grassy field on the other side of the lot for those dogs that do well off leash and not within a confined area. One major dislike is that the poop filled trash cans are right within the doggy park dual gate entrance which isn't at all a welcome scent. I recommend holding your breath while you fidget with the fence to get in and out of the park.

It's been many years, but one day I had to leave with her and my head down in embarrassment, as she was too dog aggressive. You won't find that here. This park is well maintained, and regulars along with members of Fairfax Police, do keep this facility safe for people and four legged creatures. The two gate system is smart. Also thank you to all who keep dog crap cleaned up. Not all dog parks are kept as nice. There's a good group of people and dogs here. Definitely a laid back spot. This could be a good place for you and four legged family members.

I stopped by at this dog park right after going to the car wash and I am so happy I did…read more In the past, I have visited several different dog parks in Maryland and gave up taking my two dogs in recent times. The gross unsanitary conditions caused by dog feces left everywhere along with puddles of water due to odd topography and chronically wet mulches really did numbers on my pups. After several incidents of my dogs getting giardiasis and other parasitic diseases thanks to the above mentioned environment, I gave up altogether on going as of last year. And this is my attempting to write as objectively as possible-- I hate watching my dogs get as ill as I've witnessed in the past. Unlike most dog parks I've been accustomed to, this dog park has no nasty mulch, weird topography, or sad looking grass or burning gravels for dogs. The size of the park is just right and I can see exactly where my dogs are and what they're up to. As common sense as this sounds, a lot of other dog parks I've visited have enough visual obstructions and it's hard to keep track of two dogs concurrently. Instead, I was surprised by the thoughtful amenities to help keeping the dogs and humans happy--light colored sandy running surface with at least 2 water drinking stations, a dog pool, a water hose station, and lots of benches placed under shaded trees, trash bins and poop bags readily available throughout the park with signs reminding owners to pick up after your dogs. It also had ample quantities of tennis balls available for my dog to run after and I for once didn't have to worry about muddy paws --the place had zero puddles or dog poops! Whatever the case is, I'm so sure to be bringing my dogs here whenever I am in the area! I can't express how pleased I am.

If you drive past the yellow Hunter House and curve right to the last parking lot, you'll find the entrance to a giant soccer/lacrosse multi-purpose field. The wooded trails here are nice and will take you back toward the softball fields and Curry Field (artificial turf). Nottoway has restrooms near the picnic area (which has a playground that's nice for kids). On the other side, you'll see two more baseball fields and then a series of tennis courts in the distance. I have nice memories of this park when my two sons (15 years, 13 years) played on the baseball fields for Vienna Little League. I think a highlight of this park is that it is not overly crowded on Saturday afternoons.

Here you can get folks in a pickup game, if a organization doesn't have a field permit. I like the open space though, and am glad it's not more multi million dollar houses. There are also tennis and basketball courts. The trails here aren't anything special, but glad they exist. All of the facility, to include the bathrooms are super clean. They have pavilions for picnics and the like. There's plenty of parking as well. It won't win any awards, but it's here for you to try some sports or kite flying out.

It does seem unfinished, but city parks are working on a lot. More likely than not, it'll be even more impressive and soon.
