Yes but this areas population and building density is up there. Sometimes it's good to take a break from the suburban madness. This park has a good amount of trees. Parking won't be a problem. Also I like how there's baseball and soccer fields. Whether you play organized sports or not, this is a wonderful spot for a pick up game. There is a small playground for little kids. Plenty of benches to sit in. This little gem is appreciated, but it's basically a neighborhood park.

There is a small area that you can park at if you are driving there, but I think most of its visitors are from the surrounding neighborhood. The park is buried in the woods. It has a lot of shade. They do not have picnic shelters but there are picnic tables with grills placed around the park. The park spans about 5 acres and is has a network of paved trails that feeds into the W&OD Trail and the surrounding neighborhoods. I was fortunate to see a bunch of deer during my visit. I was about 100 to 200 feet from them. It was a nice treat. You may also see a few squirrels here as well The park's playground has some decent equipment. The area is lined with wood chips and has an area with rubber matting. As every playground should, you will find some benches for parents to sit and take a load off while their littles play. There is a medium sized jungle gym with monkey bars, and slides. A small jungle gym with stairs and net climber, and slides. There are also rocking animals, a small play house, a spin pole, a bank of toddler swings, and a bank of traditional swings. I like this park for some reason, but I think that it is more of a neighborhood park than a destination park. I was the only one there during my visit and it was a nice weekend day. This is definitely an option if you are looking for a nice little park to duck off to and bring the littles to play for a bit. If you are lucky, you may see some wild life too.

You…read morewouldn't know it's there as it is tucked away between a school, office buildings and a neighborhood. The best way to access the park is from Jermantown Road. There is plenty of parking space in the lot. The park has a single tennis court, open field, picnic pavilion, volleyball court, swing set, playground, a community garden and a shaded walking/running trail. The park is kept fairly clean and I've never seen it get too busy. I mainly use this park to run/walk on my lunch break during the work week. The trail is a simple wooded figure eight trail that is about a third of a mile in length. It has a fine gravel with a very flat grade so it's an ideal trail for a walk or run. Throughout the trail are various benches to sit on. The playground is nice and large, plus there is a swing set nearby. Both have standard mulch around them. The tennis and volleyball courts are in good condition, although there is only one of each. There is a community garden that people can pay for plots to grow their own veggies, herbs and plants. The garden does have a limit so make sure you reserve it in advance. More info can be found here: http://www.fairfaxva.gov/government/parks-recreation/parks/community-garden There are portable bathrooms nearby and I've never had to use them so I have no idea if they're in good condition or not. This park suits my needs and I think if more people knew it was there they'd use it. *This park is gun carry friendly.

Well kept park tucked behind the Harris Teeter grocery store with playground apparatuses for both…read moretoddlers and kids 5 and up. Covered picnic area for an easy low key birthday party or playdate and walkability to the aforementioned grocery store and various coffee shops for last minute purchases or pickups. The piece de resistance is a 360 swing with three tethered seats that one can sit or stand on and whose speed can be regulated by a designated person pushing any singular unit with clockwise or counterclockwise. Think of it as a manually powered version of one of those swing rides at any amusement park at low elevation for 3 participants. As for the name, it is based on the remnant of an old log structure that sits near the picnic area so there is some historical significance to the space. ADA access and walking path available but no restrooms although Harris Teeter is a hop and skip away.

The entire kids playground area is fenced in, they have public bathrooms right next to it (currently closed for the winter), there is a sheltered eating area, basketball court, and soccer field next to it. And did I mention how awesome the playground itself is?? There is also a small dedicated parking strip as well as street parking through the neighborhood. The play structures are made to look like wooden treehouses, and even have little hidden creatures carved into the trees (which were super fun for my daughter to try and identify.) there's a "big kid" structure and a little kid one -- although the slide on the little kid one is still really fast! Fair warning, haha. I like that once the kids get up towards the top of the big kid slide it's completely enclosed by netting, although the level underneath has a lot of places where smaller babes could fall off, so just keep an eye on your littler climbers. There is one of those netted rope tire swings as well as a couple of baby swings, a double-seated see-saw, and an natural play space area with branches and sawed logs and stuff where kids can build and get creative. I'm a huge fan of Madison Manor and will absolutely be back soon!

This year, our picnic was planned for the hottest day of the summer so far.

There is also a small older building that hosts farmers markets in the winter and a few pavilions that are nice for get togethers. Overall a great local spot.

Jokes aside, I was really impressed with this neighborhood park.

They have a little musical instrument zoo and a little red car that all the kids were lined up to jump in and out of. It was pure toddler bliss.
