There is a bathroom area as well and water fountains. We loved the trail and the creek the most. We spotted a snake, a lizard and some rabbits on our walk. It's a well taken care of spot I would recommend for some family fun or to get out of the house. We also saw a couple having a picnic and others walking dogs.

Eva Walker Memorial Park is at the corner of Alexandria Pike and North Street. Just across from…read moreCold Stone Creamery and just two blocks down from Historical Downtown Warrenton. There is small kid playground and a big kid playground right next to each other. There's a paved path around the park. I'd say about 1/2 mile long. A couple picnic tables, a shelter, a restroom facility with flushing toilets, and a basketball court with a stack of stadium seats. The horseshoe pits are in the shade and may need a quick clean up before use. Hard to maintain horseshoe pits unless it gets a lot of action. It's also just up from the public library so get a book and settle in under the trees. I tried to research Eva Walker and found nothing online, but thats strange because we also have a Walker Drive close by. I guess sooner or later I'll stumble across the story and add to this post. Green grass, shady trees and a nice park all around. Come enjoy!

There's even an area that's wheelchair accessible and over 7 miles of trails. Lots of signs explaining the history of the area and bridges and paths were well taken care of.

You can rent paddle boats, and quite a few kayak here. Yet the fishing isn't all that. It certainly is beautiful in some areas, but I wish more fish opportunities. Crockett Park is owned and managed by the county. This is impressive. What I usually do here is go during astronomy nights, with a group called NOVAC. Light pollution is less of a problem than say the DC area. A very nice group of men and women. Parking is never a problem, and it is a family friendly place.

Seating along the pool areas is ample and allows for parents/caregivers to easily supervise. I was especially impressed with how many lifeguards were on duty and how attentive they appeared to be. The desk staff were helpful and very friendly. We live on Miami Beach, so swimming inside is pretty foreign to us. That said, we really enjoyed the center and feel fortunate to have it as a fun option while visiting family!

There is a workout area, park, and pool area for young kids and a full pool area as well. Upon entry we were immediately turned off as staff are all rude from the front desk to the lifeguards. The woman at the front was so brash. Cost Warrenton locals: $6 kids and $7.50 adults for the pool area, playground is free. They have family lockers and rooms to change in which is really cool. Everything is clean. Pool area isn't ventilated well and needs fans. It's more humid inside than out on a hot day. They also have minimal seats with broken chairs if you're a bystander. There are three lifeguards on duty which makes you feel secure in the size of the play area, some of them however have their feet kicked up and are talking to each other on walkie talkies so not sure how much attention they are paying to the kids. The kids had lots of fun inside and outside. Loved going down the big slide and playing in the water area. It is a good break for the kids and I would recommend it, as long as you know all the rules and regulations ahead of time.

Yet this is a common theme in northern Virginia. Park employees are excellent though. I do like my times over here. Some of my best fishing trips used to be here. Whether it's overfishing or VGIF isn't stocking as much, I'm not sure what's going on. There are some walleye. Last few years I've caught some crappie, catfish, and bluegill. The bass caught have been small. Used to find the area by the water containment to be top notch. Now I use the walk our dock that's got a roof on it. This is a great structure to relax by the water, yet the fishing quality has dropped substantially.

Fauquier Co is beautiful already and then to come here and walk a trail by the Rappahannock River; It was gorgeous. I loved the rock jutting out into the river. The tall trees, so silent. I felt like I was far from home but it only took me 12 min to get here. I followed the red blaze trail. 2.5 miles maybe? Creeks, ferns, and singing birds all around. Very nice. DYK, the Rappahannock River is 195 miles long? Starts in the Blue Ridge Mountains and empties into the Chesapeake Bay. That being said, please keep Virginia beautiful. Pack it in, pack it out.
