It was really fun it was also big I had so much fun there with my family at the basketball court definitely going back

This playground was renovated and is awesome!!! I would say kids 2-8 would appreciate it the most! My two year old son had a blast running around. There are several play structures, spread out, and lots of shade. There's also tennis courts, a whole row of swings, and an obstacle course (more for older kids). There's a couple areas for younger kids and areas for older kids just based on the play structures. We lucked out with a gorgeous day and for the most part kids can distance themselves. However since it's huge the kids really are not in one area close together for long. The best part is the whole place is a rubber floor instead of mulch or dirt! We will definitely go again!!! read more

What an awesome park!!!! Multiple playscapes for children of all ages that are pretty new (several years old). Only knocked off a stare because there is hardly any shade - it heats up quickly in warmer months!! There's also swings, a fitness course area, covered gazebo, sand volleyball court and some grass areas! read more

Briar Patch is one of the elite playgrounds in Northern Virginia. It was updated in 2018 and has five high quality play sets for ages 2-12. There's a ten foot high tube slide which is one of the highest we've seen. A number other slides are nice too. Beyond the slides there's an awesome net climber and two really nice 2-5 treehouse style play sets. This is easily a $250k playground. We've been here three times and it hasn't been busy but it's been sunny and this place is devoid of trees. There's some artificial shade for parents but it's like Clemyjontri In that, if it's a sunny day, your kiddos will get hot quickly. read more

Great scene, clean bathrooms (with changing stations!) quick access to the ice cream truck, and everything from slides, to swings. This place is perfect lil bebes to 10yr olds! We've looked for parks in the Herndon, Sterling area, and this one takes it by far as the best free family fun spot. I definitely recommend it for new parents in the area in search of an outdoor spot to take the kids. read more

I recently attended a toddler's birthday party at this park and was extremely impressed! It's basically 4 playgrounds next to each other with tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, basketball courts, and a covered picnic area. There might have been more if I walked away from the center of the facility but it was about 100 degrees so I didn't... I don't think I have ever seen so many slides and swings in one place - the playground equipment seems safe and sturdy and has way more "play features" than any other I've seen. One of the playgrounds looks like a train so that is especially appealing to young children. The facility was very clean, offered adequate shade, includes plenty of parking, and is open enough that it is easy to keep an eye on your children even if they wander away from you a little. I noticed port-a-potties nearby but didn't see if there are real bathrooms on the facility. I saw two addresses for this, 1400 and 21660 N. Sterling, but it's at the intersection of Sterling Blvd and E Frederick Dr. read more

Playgrounds these days are so much cooler than I remember them being when I was a kid. Briar Patch Park is no exception. My two year old and I had a most excellent time playing here this morning. Sorry if we woke up any neighbors with our squeals of glee. We will definitely be back! read more

This park is actually five playground sets wrapped around a tennis court, with picnic tables and a basketball court off to one side. Its usually busy, often times with poorly controlled children running over the littler ones. Maybe that helps teach the little ones to stand up for themselves, or parents restraint in not yelling at other people's children. The equipment is very well maintained though, and I've never felt overly concerned about safety here. read more
