    While in Virginia we opted to take the kids to this city center. It's really appealing and looks…read morewell taken care of. There is a workout area, park, and pool area for young kids and a full pool area as well. Upon entry we were immediately turned off as staff are all rude from the front desk to the lifeguards. The woman at the front was so brash. Cost Warrenton locals: $6 kids and $7.50 adults for the pool area, playground is free. They have family lockers and rooms to change in which is really cool. Everything is clean. Pool area isn't ventilated well and needs fans. It's more humid inside than out on a hot day. They also have minimal seats with broken chairs if you're a bystander. There are three lifeguards on duty which makes you feel secure in the size of the play area, some of them however have their feet kicked up and are talking to each other on walkie talkies so not sure how much attention they are paying to the kids. The kids had lots of fun inside and outside. Loved going down the big slide and playing in the water area. It is a good break for the kids and I would recommend it, as long as you know all the rules and regulations ahead of time.

    Been going on and off for years. Brought my kids there when they were young and I've taken water…read moreaerobics there. It would be nice if more times were offered for classes but at least there's one Saturday morning class. Late afternoon and evening classes would be useful for those that work. Staff is friendly. Water aerobics classes are ok. Sometimes it feels like the instructor is rushing. As soon as you start a set they move onto a different exercise. It's quicker to do a movement on land than it is in the water. Because of that, I notice many people just do their own thing. And the instructors are hard to hear especially if you're completely to one side. Not everyone can be in the middle. You get out of it what you put in but the whole purpose of going to a class is for the instruction. I can go to a pool and do my own thing, I'm paying for the instruction. Having the toddler swim lessons in the big pool while having the adult water class is not the best idea. I understand the other pool was closed for whatever reason but cancel whatever you had over there or move the times. You've got parents and toddlers there for swim class, parents and toddlers there to just play (hanging out on the steps bc their toddler is afraid, waters too deep, etc an employee did ask one parent to move bc it's not ideal to hang out on the steps) and you've got about 15 older adults there for water aerobics....really? Adjust the times.

    It's always been a pleasant lake/park. There are some okay trails here, yet what it's all about is…read morethe water. Germantown Lake is quite nice. As for the fishing, a lot of snags. You can rent paddle boats, and quite a few kayak here. Yet the fishing isn't all that. It certainly is beautiful in some areas, but I wish more fish opportunities. Crockett Park is owned and managed by the county. This is impressive. What I usually do here is go during astronomy nights, with a group called NOVAC. Light pollution is less of a problem than say the DC area. A very nice group of men and women. Parking is never a problem, and it is a family friendly place.

    The park itself is beautiful I had a great time! However the employees could have better customer…read moreservice. My family and I rented a motor boat, paid, and the boat wasn't even available. We had to wait and listen to them argue about who was in the wrong and was told hopefully they give you a refund. They might not because it's a process so they may give you a pass to come back a few times. Thankfully a boat came, so the problem fixed itself. So we enjoyed the boat for a few hours and was told the park closes as 8. The guy on the dock called for boats to be back at 7:40/7:50. We packed up headed back to the dock and unloaded. When we got back the employee on the dock was recording us as we were trying to park because we were struggling to straighten out rather than help us then when he did help us he said "you guys took forever I'm trying to go home". That was around 7:55. We walked up and returned the vests at exactly 7:58 and the lady that sold us the boat and license was waiting there and said "you're late" and took the vests and walked off. Please keep in mind we were only told park closes at 8. No one said a thing about having to be back a certain time before 8. Enjoyed the boat itself but the customer service was absolute trash.

    Northern Fauquier Community Park opened some time earlier in the year. I've been interested in this…read morepark for a while as it looks really nice when driving by on Route 55. But it was closed last time I went through Marshall as construction was not yet completed. It's located just off of Route 55 just east of beautiful, downtown Marshall, VA. It's open now, I visited yesterday as my neighbors were holding a birthday party for their 3 year old daughter at the park. They reserved a covered pavilion which had plenty of tables, a grill, and was close to lots of playground equipment for the mass of writhing kids attending the party and now running amok through the park. The park offers a lot of park amenities - from the park web site: "Open year-round, the park boasts 8 athletic fields including baseball, softball, soccer and football. The park also features two concession stands, 8 picnic shelters, an amphitheater, three playgrounds, a two mile paved multi-use trail, 3 indoor restrooms, fishing lake, meeting room and plenty of beautifully landscaped open space. Recreational programs are available for your enjoyment." I plan to come back to walk and hike, fish the lake, and maybe even grill out some time!

    The park is big, many fields, catch and release that my husband and kids love, ducks and geese and…read morethree small playgrounds. Excellent facilities and a great perk is the ice skating during the winter. My kids love riding their bikes on the trails.
