What an awesome facility, especially if you have little ones! In addition to the lap pool, there is…read morea separate "zero depth" pool 1 to 3 feet with a little play structure/splash pad in it.

Really clean, well - maintained facilities. Bring a lock to use in the locker room.

An OK Pool There…read morereally aren't many options for pools in Crozet, so as far as Crozet is concerned, there isn't much better than this. However, when compared to other pools, this one is about as mediocre as one can get. Lacking a deep end or interesting structure, the best part about this pool is its one mushroom spray structure. This structure is always crowded with families because after all, it's the only mushroom in the pool. The lap lanes take up much of the rest of the pool. Price for admission to this lackluster aquatic center is $10 a person, which isn't terrible until you consider what little you're getting for the price you pay. It's nothing offensively bad, it's just kind of.... meh. I don't typically use that word in any of my reviews, but it's time to call a spade a spade.

The Fire Trail was a nice hike over the mountain without being too strenuous and had views of the valley at different points along the way. I could see it being muddy though if it rained recently so be careful. They weren't charging admission when we were there on a weekday afternoon and there was plenty of parking. It looks like they have fishing as well and maybe swimming when the weather is warmer. This place isn't far at all from Crozet so we went for a hike then had dinner in town.

I can't believe that this amazing park has never been added to Yelp before. Ridgeview Park (RP) is…read more85-acres full of wonderful amenities. When I climbed out of my van the other day, all I could see was green everywhere. Kids could run around the grassy fields forever and not get bored. The hills were extremely tempting to my youngest son who had to run up them and then roll down. Beautiful trees, lovely flowers, a gorgeous view of the mountains--but the best part was the river. You are able to walk up to the water's edge and play with the rocks. Here are some features: * Amphitheater * Baseball/Softball Diamond * Basketball Court * Soccer Field * Tennis Courts * Trails (there are supposed to be trails in the woods, but I didn't get a chance to check them out) * Playground * Picnic tables and grills * Restrooms * Serenity Garden * Swimming Pool * Fishing in the South River throughout the park (trout, bass, perch, bluegill, and catfish) * Handicap-Accessible Fishing Pier I was here for vacation and I always try to look for parks. I found RP online and it was way better than I ever imagined it would be. In fact, I kind of started to fall in love with it and Waynesboro. My boys and I greatly enjoyed our short time at RP and I highly recommend you visit. I wish RP was closer to my house.

This is, I think, one of the better parks in the Waynesboro and Charlottesville area. Plenty of…read moreplayground equipment for the kids to play on. Lots of fields and area to run. You can stop down at the river and feed the ducks and geese. The kids love it here. My only issue from our most recent visit was the garbage all over the park.

The carts have GPS to help with distance etc. It is a beautifully laid out course at the foot of the mountains. We were cart path only because of the recent rain. The course is hilly and has some really challenging holes. Our group really enjoyed the course. It was hot, so the cooler with waters was helpful. They have a lovely restaurant/bar and a nice pro shop.

Absolutely loved my round at Birdwood! The course was in fantastic condition, the staff were…read morefriendly, and the members we played with were great (though that's not something Birdwood really controls). The greens rolled pure, there weren't many weird hole layouts or blind shots, and I also liked that there were four sets of men's tees to choose from (white, blue, black, and college). I'd 100% come back and play here again!

This park used to be our neighborhood park. We lived just down the road, so when my husband and I…read morefirst moved to the neighborhood, we would walk down and intersect with the Rivanna River trail which goes through Azalea park. Or we would loop around the garden plots that are down there at the far end of the park and see what folks were growing. Or we would go use the big spread of grass to throw the frisbee around. The playground is pretty cool, too. (Admittedly, around sunset when the kiddies had all gone in for dinner and bath time, we'd utilize the freedom and play on some of the playground equipment--lots of exciting things you can spin on/in!) Kid (and "big kid") approved. Then we had a baby, so I would stroll the babe down to the park and loop around the park's paths and back home, or I would sit on a swing and hold my babe and swing with him for a bit. Ah, the circle of life. Now we've moved and I already kinda miss Azalea Park. (Note: There's also a dog park; just a fairly large gated in area of grass where you can let your dog off the leash.)

Azalea is our preferred dog park in Charlottesville. It has two large fenced-in areas that share a…read morefenced entry pen. We bring our sheepdog Appa here at least once a week when the weather is cool/cold enough for him, less often in the summer (Charlottesville's summer heat is pretty brutal on our fluff monster). In all of our visits we've only run into a few dogs that aren't very well socialized and are aggressive towards other dogs (we've encountered this multiple times at Darden Towe). For the most part all of the owners are very responsible, friendly, and approachable and their dogs follow their example. There are always tennis balls laying around that are up for grabs, several picnic tables for humans (and sometimes for dogs to climb on), poop bags/trash cans, and water bowls (and a pump to fill them). Overall it has just about everything you could need. The one major downside about Azalea's dog park is that it has very little shade. There's a single large tree on the west side that casts some decent shade in the evening during the summer, but for the most part the sun scorches down and there's no hiding from it. It would be fantastic if the town could plant a few more trees here. There's plenty of parking, and trails and a stream nearby. Appa's a better socialized dog thanks to Azalea. We're very glad we found this park.
