Lancaster Dog Park - I often bring my dog to the large dog side of the 2 dog parks. The large dog…read moreside is about a acre square, fenced in by a 6ft chain link. Both large and small dog parks are double gated so the dogs cant get out and run off. The area for the small dogs is maybe a third if the size of the large dog side. There is fresh water for your dog to get drinks and there's a poopie bag dispenser so you can clean your mess. Most of the people here pay attention to their dogs behavior and I personally haven't seen a blown out dog fight. Its a good social spot for you and your dog. Not much seating area but there are a few fixed benches in the fenced parks. Parking is usually available and near the park entrances. If your dog needs a energy release, give this place a try.

Most locals come here for the Saturday RVA Big Market. I highly recommend checking the market out and making a day out of it. You can hike a trail while you're there too. There are a lot of picnic benches in the area and grills you can use for cookouts. My friend once rented one of their picnic shelters for her birthday and it was loads of fun. You can rent those spaces online. Although I don't play disc golf, they have disc golf baskets all through the park. Everytime I see them I always consider trying a new hobby. There are parking lots scattered around the park. On weekends it can be a little hard to find parking, but you'll find a spot. You can get a map of the park online. This park is well known and liked by most locals. It's a 5 star spot for me.

This disc golf course is managed and maintained by the Northern Virginia Disc Golf Association…read more They are a nonprofit organization that has a long term agreement of over 20 years with Arlington County Parks that the club will maintain the course, run and promote tournaments, encourage younger players and advise the County on larger maintenance projects like storm damaged trees and safety issues that could affect play. NOVA Disc Golf is responsible for posting rules, marking the course and ensuring players follow park rules. Parking is either at the large lot at 4th and N Manchester or one of the smaller paved lots on Carlin Springs Road. Course hours are from sunup to 30 minutes after sunset. The course is not lighted. There are restrooms and water fountains at the larger parking lot by the playground. Park rangers patrol the area frequently to ensure it remains a fun and safe recreational public park.

I am sharing this for documentation of an injury that happened at the Bluemont course today…read more(5/9/26) around 11am. context: family and I disc-golfed today. as i finished hole 1 with my 3yo kid by my side, we were about to start hole 2. we didnt hear any warning or a "fore" call. incident: someone threw a mid-range disc into my kid's face. the throw came from the direction of hole 2 towards hole 3. my kid bled from their nose and mouth; blood all over their face and clothes. afterwards: the thrower did *NOT* come over to check on us after hitting us with a throw, nor apologized. I went over to tell them what happened and they had excuses and even tried to blame us for being in the way. I gave them a piece of my mind but had no way to hold the thrower accountable. the beveled edge disc was so close to hitting my kid's eyes. these two adult men cowards tried to wait for us to leave so they can go on playing. review: this is horrible behavior as people in public space and definitely worse as members in the frisbee community. it is just so wrong and unfair that these two grown men to hurt someone.. a small child... and acted like nothing happened and showed no remorse. call to action: 1. Be on the look out for a heavy-set asian man, short black hair with sunglasses and a medium built latino man with ear-length curly black hair. both about 5"7" to 5'9" tall and in their mid- to late-30s. they cant hit the basket but will shamelessly hit a child . losers. 2. dont hit people with a disc golf. if you do, be a normal person and help the person you injured and apologize. simple, right?

We had a great time camping there. Sorry no pics. We did the Amish 62 mile bike ride and decided to…read morecamp and I was exhausted. It's a smaller State park and slightly confusing with the direction's but the staff was helpful just get a map. We camped in a "walk back" section of E. Very spacious sites with the bathroom/shower reasonably close. Parking was "ok"..... but they fill up and then you have to use overflow. The bathrooms/showers were clean BUT I guess I'm used to sites that spray repellent because nature is boss. We drove through the comfort sites of D and they were too tight for my liking. They have yurts and cabins but for me a tad too close. They do have an Island camp site Loved it!!!!! That's a must do. It's 2 sites across a short walking bridge with water view and access. I would definitely go back.

One thing I don't understand is why the Park Maintenance people don't cut the Wisteria growth on the trees? Some trees have vines over two inches in diameter.

This review is for the disc golf course, not the mini golf course…read more I have played disc golf at a few different courses around the country (not because I am good but because I travel a lot haha!) and I was so happy to find this beautiful course so close to home! As a beginner I really enjoyed the course because the baskets are all positioned in a fairly straight line, making it easier to aim. I will say that my boyfriend found this a bit frustrating, as he is a skilled player. The views are unbeatable and the course is very well maintained. There is a lot of traffic around the course, since it is directly next to the walking path around Burke Lake, so be careful of pedestrians, especially kids. It also seems to be pretty popular, with a wide range of skill levels so be prepared to wait while the people in front of you finish :) Overall I loved this course and I can't wait to play there more often!

This is a spot where no reservations are needed, and the cost is extremely reasonable. Anything outdoors is appreciated. Yet it's time for the county to make some repairs. The course isn't as well maintained as it was. There are roots that can make you be more vigilant. Personally I'd rather relax, but pay attention to where you walk. The containers are aging. My hope is this year they'll fix it up. Obviously that's up to the park authority. If you want to try out this activity, this is a good place to start.

I did not get to the Visitors Center, as it closed at 4 PM. We visited the South River Overlook Trail, which was four-tenths of a mile in length, and had benches at the water to fully enjoy and appreciate the spectacular views. There are six other trails, ranging to as much as a mile and one-half in length. An $8 entry fee for automobiles, additional for larger vehicles, and they also offer lifetime senior passes.

The course is on a small park land with some tennis courts and a vollyball court, and a playground. Bring water and friends. Disc golf is like traditional ball golf; you start on a tee pad and navigate the fairway to complete the hole. The difference is that in disc golf you use a frisbee.

Oh and the bathrooms next to the park are always clean and have toilet paper which is a big plus :)
