What a time to take a daily walk in the Peninsula. It has been over a year since I've been here…read more Weeks ago, I decided to take a morning walk on a bright Saturday. Let's see how things turned out. I met up with a friend of mine where we started off at the entrance to the trail. We ran into traffic which was a steady amount that we've seen on a typical walk here. The weather was a bit hot so we lucked out by arriving in the morning. The tral itself was nice with no surprises on the way. I will say parts do need to be repaved. Constant foot traffic along with weather can do that to pavement. But overall, it was a really good walk which was needed for the both of us. As always, the trail did its job. I was sweaty, but it was needed to get my day going. I will be back once again. Till next time :)

Parts of the trails are paved, but the real gems are the dirt areas where it's quiet and peaceful. I saw quite a bit of wildlife during my brief run through some of the trails. There are numbered sign posts throughout the trails that explain what you are seeing. I didn't stop to look at them as I was more focused on my run. There are a few lakes on the side of the river which are beautiful. You can access the river with your boat if you'd like. I didn't get to explore the whole park but I'd like to next time I'm nearby.

I recently stumbled upon this quaint little neighborhood park in the Larchmount neighborhood of…read moreNorfolk. I have now enjoyed lunch with the kids a few times now and have really fallen in love with it's beauty. The description has this as a Dog Park, but it is not. However, it is a dog friendly park if the pooch is on a leash. The park is located directly behind ODU's Foreman Field and among small 1950-1960's residential homes. The current space has been utilized for a recreation area for a number of years, but the park as it exist today with it's playground equipment is around 10 years old. The entire area is shady which is a parents dream. Parking is off street only. I consider the area to be completely safe. The grounds are enclosed with an attractive black aluminum fence. A short run to the back is a tall wooden privacy fence. There are two gates with both having child safety locks. Bottom line is this is a secure play are for small children with great visual lines of sight to watch the kids enjoying themselves. I found the park spotless and grassy portion well manicured on my times visiting. There is a single trash can which is maintained by the city of Norfolk. Let's talk equipment, because it's cool. The central playground is a pirate ship. The second one has a slide and curly pole. There are also two sets of swings and one is for a toddler. I would consider the top age range for the playground to be 10-12. The ground cover around the equipment is mulch. A huge shaded grassy area for recreation is to the back. I consider this one of the best things about the park. There are some limitations to the park that anyone visiting should be aware of. However, keep in perspective this is a small neighborhood park. Only a few benches and a few tables are available to families. There is enough room for a small shelter and grills, but they do not have them. Also absent is a restroom facility and water fountain. So don't forget to bring something for the little ones to keep hydrated. I usually would not give a park a four without upgraded items like shelter and restrooms. This property is in another class with it being a neighborhood park in my opinion. I am sure this property is such a treasure for the neighborhood. I just could not help but fall in love with Bluestone Park when I first laid eyes on it and I think you will agree.

He taught us the basics and let us chill at our own pace. This was our first time. It's a very easy and still river. We got a little wet from the paddle dripping water into our boats as we paddled from side to side but other than that, we stayed dry. Saw some dolphins and talked to people sitting on the fishing pier as we cruised by. We had a great, relaxing time. We were always within view of the group, but my friend and i trailed behind and just took it easy and caught up on life. The views alone were worth it. I'd highly suggest this.
