Overall, we had a nice experience at this dog park. I was surprised in a good way because the dog…read morepark has ample space and a separate section for smaller dogs. While there is a shaded area with picnic tables, I kind of wish that the dog park had a few more trees for more shade, but that is a very minor complaint. Since the park is maintained by PETA, there is a lot of PETA messaging (e.g., why crating dogs is "bad") in certain parts of the park. Although I disagree with some of the messaging, it did not negatively impact my visit.

On top of giving your dog a great play space, you can actually enjoy watching the cruise ships go by, which makes it a really unique spot. The park is divided into two sections: one side for small dogs and one for larger dogs. I love that they've thought of the details--there are two little kiddie pools with running water, so you can refresh them as needed. It's always clean, well-maintained, and has a few toys out for the pups to enjoy. Another plus is that it's not usually overcrowded, which makes it much more relaxing for both dogs and owners. The surrounding neighborhood is gorgeous (and honestly, I'd love to live there if it were in my budget!). All in all, Bea Arthur Dog Park is a wonderful place to bring your pup for some exercise, playtime, or just to enjoy the views. Definitely one of Norfolk's dog-friendly treasures!

Thank you Lafayette-Winona Civic League for supporting such a great place for the pups to play!

But I didn't come for the cuteness of the pups, we came for the food lol. I have the chicken tacos and the fry flight. My son had the poodle dog with grilled onions and peppers with cheese sauce. He said it was very good wish I'd gotten him two. The guys who helped us were really nice guy's. The service was a bit of a wait, when we first came they told us it would be a 30 minute wait because the kitchen was a little backed up. Would come back to try some other things, the fry's were pretty good. I didn't really care for the chicken tacos. They were kinda just thrown together. But overall I'd come again.

My friends and I met up for her dogs 21st birthday bash!!! I hadn't heard of this place before or…read moreeven knew something like this existed. It's kinda tucked in off London Bridge Rd. When I arrived I walked to the back, and it was a cute setup for all our little furry friends to have fun, but for adults and kids to. There were lawn chairs, picnic tables, games, a side for leashed and unleashed dogs, and even a little wet area for the pups. It was also a bar/restaurant where you could eat inside or outside. The dogs aren't allowed in the inside part of the restaurant. The restaurant has hot dogs, sausages, Mac n cheese, burgers, tacos, and etc. The meals are reasonably priced. The hot dogs are thick, so your not getting a wimpy hot dog, it's meaty!! Lol. It might have been too much meat for me almost. You definitely get your money's worth!! The Mac n cheese was pretty good and cheesy, and the portion was great for the price. The fries we ok also. The area is really a vibe. It's chill and everyone is doing their own thing. They even have pup cups!! The dogs all seemed to be having a good time. When you walk in the smell of dogs hits you, but I don't have a dog so maybe that's why it's so strong. If you have a dog you probably won't even notice. Once I got used to that, it was fine. I think this is a fun little place to come wether you have a dog or not. Beer and alcohol are also served. The cocktails seem fun. My friend liked her spicy mango drink. The staff was also friendly! So yeah, check them out!!!!

Lots of people running, kids playing and dogs walking. My favorite thing I found a bench dedicated to their sweet dog Savanna. And they offer doggy poop bags. Encouraging a nice clean park.

At Woodstock, I haven't seen anyone picking up garbage or any rangers. They have a skate park that is pretty big and has a beautiful design. A full design tennis court. I think it's also cool how they teach you how storm water works. I used to be a water treatment operator, so it intrigued me. Kids usually leave things on the table or at the park. The first time, I found a kids purse and wanted to turn it in, but no one was available. The second time I saw another girl's purse and a Sonic The Hedgehog backpack. I had asked around if it was their kids. I guess this park is so trusting that they will leave things anywhere. That's a bonus.

I believe this place was recently renovated several years ago and it looks amazing! This place is perfectly located in the Fairfield area and has quite a few amenities including a skate park (I've seen people on rollerblades, scooters, and skateboards!), fairly large playground with multiple slides and swings, outdoor grill / party area, two pickleball courts, a tennis court and dog park as well. I've been several times this summer and it's always been clean and organized. I just wished that the "front" parking area had more spaces to park but there are plenty of spaces in the back, it's just a further walk to the park itself. The playground is updated and fun for all ages, especially toddlers and young kids. There's plenty of space to run around and play and never feels crowded here. Highly recommend this playground if you're looking for a new spot to check out !

While the park is nice, I probably would not go too far out of my way (30+ minutes by car) to visit unless I want to take advantage of the kayaking/paddle boating opportunities.
