The playground next to the splash pad is big, new, and accommodating to littler kids. The ground is that cushioned material so falls are less devastating. This park is also always very clean. The other facilities like bathrooms, fields, trails, courts, etc all look great as well!

Pros of this dog park:…read more * The parking lot has never been full full to the point where I can't park * It's very close to my home (I know this is super subjective, but it's a huge pro for me) * There is a plentiful amount of benches for seating inside the park * There are two distinct areas to the park. One is a gravely are that is super long and narrow. The other is a grassy area that is open from April - November. The grassy area ( you can barely see from the parking lot) is where a majority of the dogs hang out I've noticed. There is even a small pavilion in this grassy area that benches for seating. And this grassy area is HUGE. If you want to really throw the ball with your dog and have your dog run around a big space, this grassy area is just for you. * There are multiple bag stations and several trash cans * Everyone I've met there is SO SO nice and I've definitely made some quick friends with some awesome peeps. Cons of this dog park: *They need to take the poop trash bags out of the trashcans more regularly. The past few times i've been... the smell was quite atrocious. And when the wind blows... well... it might be the only time where I'm hoping it's not a breezy day. *There's no separate area for smaller dogs. So if you have a wee tike of a dog, just know that there will be much bigger dogs running around that could possibly knock into your little one. Definitely a super solid dog park. I haven't been to MANY dog parks in the area. But I most definitely like this one leagues better than the Cabin John Dog Park. Next one I've gotta check out is King Farm. A lot of people from the park say that is a pretty solid one in the area.

I went on Sunday with a friend to visit the sunflower fields. First off, it took what felt like…read moreages to locate the sunflowers. Yes there are coordinates on the website, but they wouldn't register when I tried copying & pasting them into Google maps. There is one gravel parking lot visible from the road. We started there, but then walked ahead and saw... nothing. No clear path to any sunflowers. We then drove a bit more and still not much. I then entered an address for "sunflower parking lot" which took us down the road, off of River road, past another gravel parking lot to another gravel parking lot. We parked there and decided to wander in to see what we could see. No signage, and still no sunflowers. We kept walking anyway until we finally spotted a field of yellow off in the distance on our left. We walked through a field to the flowers! It was a bit anticlimactic because our path landed us at the backside of the flowers, so we had to basically walk around or walk backwards to get a good view. We did a couple of laps while there. There were surprisingly few people at 4:30pm on a Sunday. We got some photos and then left. On our way out, we passed by many people asking if they were going the right way to the flowers. We also spoke to a group who came from the other lot. They said they were wandering for 3 hours trying to find the flowers and eventually managed to find the lot, and then had to cross a river with sticks for balance to get to the field. My jaw dropped. For a site that boasts beautiful flowers for visitors to enjoy, how the hell have they not marked it better? I also tried calling the wildlife center's office only to be met with a message that they no longer have in person office hours. Aka we were completely on our own trying to find our way. It also came to our attention that only field 3 had any flowers to see at this time. Yes the website says that the fields bloom at different times but nowhere did it provide a real time update. The fields are a mile or so apart, sending visitors on a wild goose chase. Absolutely ridiculous. I want to say I'd return next year, but only if they provide clearer directions on the website so we don't waste time driving all over the place and walking to a flower field that doesn't even exist at the moment.

Got a chance to visit last weekend. It was nice to be able to check their website and see a rough…read moreweekly estimate of sunflower bloom status. When using Googlemaps initially we ended up at parking for Field #2 which wasn't ready yet. We tried to walk around to see if the fields connected but there didn't seem to be an easy way to get to the other fields. Luckily we examined the posted map more closely by the parking lot and decided to follow River Road and eventually found Sycamore Landing Road which led to Field #4. Again there was an initial parking lot we stopped at since it was our first time visiting but it seemed like that was mostly for hiking. Once continuing further in we got to another lot closer to Field #4. The main lot was already full by around 11 am on a Saturday but we were able to park by the side of the road. There were plenty of sunflowers of varying heights and sizes to take interesting pictures with. It was also cool to see quite a few artists camped out that were painting the beautiful landscape. A friendly couple offered to take a picture of my partner and me. We were even able to chat about birds like how indigo buntings have been spotted nearby. Personally I saw a cardinal but didn't see any indigo buntings. There are some nice close up shots of indigo buntings and other birds on Google maps geotagged at McKee-Besher that someone else posted that are pretty impressive. Overall it was a bit stressful finding the correct blooming field but future visits will be less intimidating. Would be neat to come again and see what the other fields look like at peak bloom.
