This is part of development, but I still wonder if worth this cost. For what it's worth there's a lot of parking spots. You'll find the bathrooms clean for a government operation. The fields are beautifully maintained. One is great in particular, and the dimensions were well thought out. All levels of players will find something. Do you have little ones? There's a playground for them. It's baseball themed as well.

It's still a mystery how to enter the trail, but this is such a beautiful neighbourhood park that…read moreis easy to navigate. After parking in the lot off Melville Ln, we basically walked through a small forest to get on to the trail at the back of one of the baseball fields. Soon came a creek with stepping stones over it, then the real fun began. Clearly parking is no issue here, and this park has more than one entry point. All in all though, the trails are flat and either paved or easy on the feet, and there's more than one bridge and some benches along the trail. I appreciate this green space being maintained and available to the community.

Probably saw a handful other dogs but everyone had their dogs leashed and paths were wide enough to avoid any confrontations.

Such a fun new park find for a mom with kids who need to burn energy…read more There is a baseball field listed here, but I couldn't pull up Capital One Park East, so I'm guessing most people will end up using this listing instead. 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!

The area that features a lot of climbing, has some larger footholds and is probably best for the 5+ set unless your kiddo is younger but taller. My relatively small newly 4-year-old was not independently able to navigate this area. My 7 year old had no problem. The little spinner is fun too. No swings here but lots of other areas to stay busy.

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.

Wow the town of Vienna deserves credit. Thank you for an exceptional redevelopment. For years…read moreWaters Field, was a rough looking place for youth baseball and football games. 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.
