Very busy Saturday mornings during some seasons due to soccer (so parking lot will be full). There's a pretty good toddler and bigger kid playground structure and basketball court. It's about a mile walk across the lake with some paved parts but other parts are gravel and dirt and stairs. You'll have to carry a stroller at some points if taking stroller.

The field is of substantial size to throw a football around, or maybe fly a kite, but the goose poop isn't so attractive. That alone is a reason why the Canadian Honkers have less bag limits, during hunting season so please hit 'em up. As for the view, I do appreciate Lake Royal. Only two lakes in Virginia are natural, but this one has herons and an occasional eagle. Fishing from this side is ok, but it's far more action on opposite. Parking is for the most part adequate. Can't beat the price of admission, as it's free, and the adjacent trail is a pleasant one.

I found this park from just Yelping parks that was nearby and I am glad we have found this park. It was a decent size. With a big play area, swings, good amount of picnic tables, bbq, and plenty of parking. And although we didn't have to use them; there were restrooms available as well! This park is next to a public school and we were able to walk to the other side of the tennis courts to enjoy the other playground that was part of the school's. My nephews had a fun time here. So much that I had to literally pull them into the car to go home! Lol We will be coming back for sure!

Craig's use of thousands of hours of analysis and scientific study to refine pitching mechanics to deliver maximum performance with minimum risk to injury is truly amazing. My son experienced continued injuries caused by improper form despite hours and hours of instruction by former big league pitchers. Craig fixed my sons delivery and he is injury free because my son now knows how to care for his arm before, during, and after throwing and now has proper pitching mechanics that will keep him healthier longer. If you are injured, you don't need to lose training time while you heal. See Craig and you will be back on the mound sooner and healthier. Thanks Craig.

So happy now that the pedestrian bridge is open so I can start at the marina and complete the loop without having to turn around at the mid-point. The children's playground is closed for repairs until further notice. A message on the park's website indicates there is no timetable for when repairs will be completed: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/lake-accotink Bummer since I came here this past weekend with my niece and nephew and they weren't able to enjoy the facilities. Oh well, at least we were still able to enjoy the nature trail.

They also have $1.00 Monday night admission with $1.00 hot dogs. Not a bad deal at all. Parking is $5.00 not sure why they charge for parking when it's free to park there on non game nights and it's county property. Grandstand tickets where $8.00 or $7.00 if you are military. I plan on going back.

Same area just separated by a lot. Major mom win: there are bathrooms It's right across from Wegmans, has shaded tables (yes please), a water fountain, and easy parking in the garage across the street (first 2 hours are free ) Bonus surprise: on top of the parking garage there's another small play area--with water! My kids were living their best life up there. Everything is super colorful, clean, and just overall a really good time. I also noticed someone walking around every few minutes wiping down tables and checking trash, which I appreciate so much as a parent. Oooh and theres a mini workout area . Only tiny side-eye moment : I did see the same towel used on tables and then on the trash can... and not tossed after. So I'm hoping it's not making a full tour of tables, trash, and bathrooms Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely be back!

That's been changed considerably. I'd say a complete 180. Was thrilled with my son tonight, to see where he got his first sacks as a football player. Personally I think he's nuts, but am proud of this student athlete. He said it himself, "this is at the same place, but major boost." That seems appropriate. The only challenge I can see is parking, but it's not like finding a spot in a large city. There's a community center and streets close by. The field is well marked now. All appears new and they did this field justice. Getting young men and women into sports is important. This facility will be instrumental in development. Families and their children will benefit!

Waters field is primarily used by the Greater Vienna Babe Ruth (GVBR) League. It's a great spot to catch a baseball game. Restrooms are a short walk away in the Vienna Community Center. Parking is available on the street, but it may be easier to use the spots in the Vienna Elementary School lot on weekends if multiple games are occurring simultaneously. The only downside is that foul balls can wander into the street corner behind home plate, so be sure to keep an eye out for stray baseballs during games.
