    Making friends with the little
    Jemily H.

    Got a few hours to kill on your Tuesday? Is your doggie's bod not looking bikini season ready? Ever wondered where all the dog people are at 1pm on a weekday? This is the perfect place for dogs and dog people alike! I think it's so funny how our dogs are like us...it's no wonder Daisy was feeling a little uneasy about socializing today when all I wanted to do was nap and watch Netflix. If you want to witness a real (dog) social experiment, bring the doggos to Monticello park and watch them interact. The park is pristine and very spacious. Parking is plentiful. For the little humans there is a jungle gym that looked awfully fun. I was VERY content to see the dog park was separated for little dogs and big dogs. I know Daisy (and I) get a little anxious playing with rough big so daisy had her safe fun. All the parks had benches and water bowls...although I highly recommend bringing your own since doggie diseases are real. All the dog owners are so friendly and encourage socializing! Imagine that! Mae sure to bring your furry friends out to play once in a while!

    I can't speak for the dog park since we don't have dogs, but the playground next to it is pretty cool. There are signs that mention that it's geared towards kids 13 and up and I could see why. This isn't your usual slides and swings here. They are instead play areas geared towards fitness activities for kids in the form of obstacle courses. That said, this particular playground is small but has enough areas to have kids finish the courses and restart again without getting bored quick. I will definitely come back with my little guy to switch things up a bit for his usual outdoor fun.

    The section for the little dogs is good but the other section for big dogs is a concern. My dog was in the small dog section but I saw a Great Dane attack a Lab and grab him by the collar and pull him down. I went to the park two days in a row and saw the same black and white spotted Great Dane do the same thing again. His owner was there and right on top of it but it was still disturbing to witness. Be careful if you have a big dog to bring to the dog park. The dusty gravel isn't so great, wish they had more grass and a water fountain for the dogs. All the small dogs were nice.

    Awesome little dog park, with plenty of balls, water areas and trash pick up bags. I'll be bringing some to give back and donate. It's kept up well. Everyone that was there was nice. Bonus is it is near a regular park and my oldest walked over there with the two younger ones to play while we let the pup play. Definitely recommend, even for my Springfield dog owners. I wish it was closer but it's a great one that is worth the drive.

    The dog park is all gravel, no grass, no shade, no tre so on a hot summer day it's too hot to stay long.

    While the obstacle course is intended for 12+, there were plenty of younger children holding their own.

    This is a smaller neighborhood type park with a pretty good trail and more of a legit woods feel in…read moreplaces than a lot of suburban trails while also being right in people's backyards in other places. It's only a few miles long and there wasn't any parking to speak of on Etsel Road so I just parked on the street in the neighborhood and didn't get towed or anything so I guess it's fine. You can also take the trail into Fairfax City and get something to eat or whatever. They also have a coyote warning sign but I didn't see any, not sure if I should be disappointed and grateful! This is a worth checking out if you're in the area and have an hour or so to spend going for a walk.

    It's a nice place if in the area. Admittedly still saddened, that Army Navy Golf Course developed…read morethe land it bought, taking away some of the woods that used to exist here. Yes it was their property, but the bike hills and rope swing were so much fun. This is still a good neighborhood park. It connects Old Lee Hills with Fairview, and the paths are well maintained. You'll enjoy hiking your dog here, or biking through it. There is a lot of wildlife in here. It's a nice spot to see deer, or other animals who do coexist with us. There's a stream with small fish too. Hoping the city will always maintain this so well, along with volunteers who lovingly handle invasive plants. There are some benches too. I recommend sitting here and relaxing sometimes. It's healthy and a good place for it.

    The walking trails around Nottoway Park are lovely for a stroll with your dog. It's not as crowded…read moreas other parks (which makes social distancing easier). If you drive past the yellow Hunter House and curve right to the last parking lot, you'll find the entrance to a giant soccer/lacrosse multi-purpose field. The wooded trails here are nice and will take you back toward the softball fields and Curry Field (artificial turf). Nottoway has restrooms near the picnic area (which has a playground that's nice for kids). On the other side, you'll see two more baseball fields and then a series of tennis courts in the distance. I have nice memories of this park when my two sons (15 years, 13 years) played on the baseball fields for Vienna Little League. I think a highlight of this park is that it is not overly crowded on Saturday afternoons.

    It's kind of a ho hum park. Sometimes they do have a festival, which can add life to it. Yet mostly…read morethis is for baseball fields. Here you can get folks in a pickup game, if a organization doesn't have a field permit. I like the open space though, and am glad it's not more multi million dollar houses. There are also tennis and basketball courts. The trails here aren't anything special, but glad they exist. All of the facility, to include the bathrooms are super clean. They have pavilions for picnics and the like. There's plenty of parking as well. It won't win any awards, but it's here for you to try some sports or kite flying out.
