I am going to visit as many as I can before I move next month. That is my last parting gift to Suffolk.** Neighborhood Park #6 out of 14 Planters Park (PP) (yes, that Planters!) is a popular park in Suffolk according to information I found online. I never knew it existed as I rarely go by this part of the city. Unfortunately, there is no parking lot, but you can park on York Street. Amenities: *Playground *5-acres *Picnic Tables *Benches *Large open field *1/4 mile walking track around the park There's not a ton of amenities here at PP, but I think the draw is the track. There are some nice shady trees by the picnic tables as well. I was pleased to see that many people and children were out and about today at this park.

During the Cold War, the United States feared bombings from the Soviets, and created a Nike surface-to-air missile system. Because of that, Nike-Ajax Missile Base was started due to the large military installations in Hampton Roads. "The Carrollton Nike Missile Battery, N-75, was operational by 1954 and was one of eight bases that made up the Norfolk Defense Area. As with all continental bases, it consisted of two areas: a launch area and a control area. These two sites were connected by an underground cable system that enabled them to communicate" (http://www.historicisleofwight.com/nike-park.html). Here are the wonderful amenities at NP: * Restrooms with water fountains * Large playground * Skate/BMX park * Tennis courts * Picnic Tables with grills * Fishing Pier on Jones Creek * Nature trail * Mountain bike trail (the trail is about 2.5-miles but it's not a loop--you have to either turn around or follow the field out) * Softball/soccer fields * Basketball Courts * Senior Center * Recreation hall and multi-purpose room * Beautiful, old trees especially around the playground I had been to NP a couple of times, but I didn't realize the wonderful mountain bike trail, and the historic ties to the park. I will be taking my boys here soon to use the mountain bike trail, and check out the location of the underground missile magazines. NP is a wonderful park to visit, and so many things to do. For More Information: Here is video about the history of Nike-Ajax Missile Base on Nike Park.
