They have a giant lake for fishing, you can fish from the dock areas or bring or rent a non-gas powered boat. You can also rent a canoe or paddle boat but all the rental stuff is only open during spring/summer They have a 5 mile trail along the lake that's a nice walk but can be crowded when the weather is good and pay attention since the trail entrance isn't marked as clearly as it could be. They also have mini golf, a train, playgrounds and some other stuff. It's free for Fairfax County residents (glad we're getting something for our taxes) and $10 for everyone else but of course the rentals, mini golf, train, etc. cost extra. There's a decent amount of parking but go early on a nice day or you might have a hard time grabbing a spot. I'll come back here for sure to walk the trail and maybe do a little fishing or rent a boat

If you have toddlers, this is a great playground. Ample climbing options and several slides to…read morechoose from. The whole playground has cushioned rubbery ground to ease any falls that may occur. There are plenty of trees around which provides at least partial shade depending on the time of day/year. There are a few picnic tables available and a short paved shaded path to adventure down that is landscaped. This is located right next to the Manassas Museum and just a few blocks from the heart of downtown Manassas.

They have a small veterans memorial that commemorates citizens from the city of Manassas that served.

This is the only reason I have been here.

This is my fav local hiking spot in Fairfax. You can log some serious miles without having to drive…read morehours to Shenandoah. From the trail head west of the parking lot, our usual hike is about 6 miles out and back. Turning point is the private access road about 2.7 miles out. You can continue and head down to the water but not today for us. It was pretty toasty and we didn't bring a single Nalgene bottle. Trails are a pretty well maintained. In the Spring or Fall, it does get muddy and slick so wear shoes with good traction. There's also decent fat burning, butt busting inclines which are pretty absent on a lot of trails around Nova. So if you want to melt some calories, this is the place to be. You do share the trail with mountain bikers so step to the side and let them through.

Came here with a group for kayaking. Only they ran out of kayaks before noon. So some of us had to…read morerent standup paddle boards instead. There is a slightly more expensive pricing for folks not residing in Fairfax, Loudon, Alexandria, or Arlington counties. But they don't really verify...so as long as you put down an address within those counties on your waiver, then you are good to go. See my pics for the pricing as of Aug 2023. The Sat I came, they seemed very short staffed with only two people managing the rental payments and forms and then another 2 manning all the boats/boards. So we pretty much ended up having to launch and bring back our vessels ourselves. They have very limited 2 person kayaks and they require kids under 12 to be in a boat with another adult so be prepared. In addition to kayaks they have jon boats and stand up paddle boards. You can bring your own vessel but there are launch prices. The lake is quite large so 1 hour is still not enough to explore its entirety even if you were powering through. The boat rental process is this: 1) Each person needs to fill out a waiver (just one page), you need to keep the yellow paper on you and return it when you come back. 2) Payments can be done per person or by group and they accept Apple Pay 3) Go down to the dock, hand them your form 4) They will tell you which vessel you can pick and hand you life vests and paddle(s) 5) Go have fun 6) Return the vessel 7) Bring back the yellow form to the rental house Not sure why we need to keep a piece of paper on us while out on the water. I've rented boats in many other places and all they needed was the vessel back. I guess to prevent theft...but they log the number assigned to the vessel on the form prior to you renting so...But at least there isn't an entrance fee to this park and there isn't really much else to do besides activities around the water front. There is a trail that leads to Bull Run, but there isn't say a playground, picnic area, or sports fields. Parking is pretty limited but you can park along the side of the road.

The park is fronted by a few (10) parking spots and some history signs.. To walk the entire stretch of the trail takes about 45-55 minutes and is surrounded by high grasses and fields the slope down to an old railroad. The trail is an unexpected delight, as animals, fruit, old houses and more history signs and sights make for a great outing! The entrance to this site is mixed in with a regular housing development, also nearby is a outdoor mall with food and the sign can be easily missed. All around fun and light walking for almost all ages in a serene and calm outdoor trail. The only noise is from some trains that pass in the far away. Review: 5
