    I never knew this place existed! I brought my niece and nephew and kiddo here and they really…read moreenjoyed themselves! The next day we came back with friends and the kids played for hours! The splash pad is wonderful! There is even a sunscreen dispenser! My kiddo is allergic to most types so that's a no no for us, personally. However, it's so great that it's there for others if needed! The playground was really unique and even though there's not alot of equipment compared to others, everything is so different that the kids spent hours climbing, spinning and sliding! I've been looking for a dog park and so glad to find one not too far from home! And the bathrooms are sooo clean! I was shocked!

    Kilmarnock Towne Centre Park is located in small town America. The park has something for…read moreeveryone: a children's play area, a trail around the park's perimeter for walking, a dog park, beautiful landscape that is maintained by a bioretention system, an outdoor stage area known as Half Shell Stage where local talent performs, and amphitheater seating. Additionally, near the playground area is a water feature which children can run through on hot days. If you're into reading, the Kilmarnock Community Library is across the street. The library also has a children's area that little ones will love. The park is a must see if in the area.

    The wildlife refuge near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel did not seem to offer a ton of access to…read morebeachy areas, instead containing a visitor center and some trails through reasonably pleasant forest. Stopping in at the visitor center got me a lot of welcomes, including from a retired physician with a biology background (this sounds like a nice way to spend one's retirement). Among other things, I was informed that the island which the bridge runs through is only open for tours a few weeks a year, and I received information on how to pursue those tours, which I might follow through on. Otherwise, I refilled my water bottles and got in a nice little walk.

    Worthy of a stop in my book, but don't go out of your way if not passing by. There are two parts…read more The Eastern Shore Visitors Center which has its own listing and the grounds. I would recommend doing both and have enjoyed for years. The location is just a few miles from the Bay Bridge with good signage. If you plan on doing both park at the visitors center there is a grassy path to the refuge. It's approximately a mile walk. If refuge only drive past the VC and hang a right to a small lot. The entrance is under a WW II concrete bunker with a surprise upon passing through. A powerful gun originally mounted in the rear turret of the Missouri. A cool side note. The USS Missouri was the site of the 1945 Japanese surrender ceremony. The 16 inch 50 caliber gun saw extensive action in both WW II and in the Korean War. The weapon was placed inside the refuge in 2013 to represent the original that sat in the very same bunker. The 2,100 pound round could fire at a distance of 21 miles across the bay and then some. On top of the bunker is an over look and worth the climb. Stairs are located on the side and are in great shape. Unfortunately it's not the best Kodak moment with a lot of over growth that needs cleared. If you bring a selfie stick or foot ladder that's best to elevate. There is not a large trail network which is a limiting factor. However, the refugee itself is hundreds of acres all Federally protected. Along the trail to a second overlook is a small cemetery which is nothing of interest. The second overlook located just mInutes from the bunker is the ideal photo op location. It's green, it's marshy and it's expansive. So snap away. For lovers of birds you will see water fowl. I'm a bit surprised that the refuge has so few reviews with a lot of traffic that passes by nearby Highway 13. If time permits go for it. Both the ES Wildlife Refuge and Visitors Center and can be done in less than two hours easy.
