Neabsco Creek Boardwalk
Fantastic escape It appears to have been a fantastic initiative to be a part of. The marshy property may be used in a really fascinating way that couldn’t be built. Even if it’s mostly clean, it’s bad that some people still wish to use or toss their plastic garbage over the boardwalk and into the bushes. Park is wonderful!
Right off the main road, a paved parking area. There are a couple entrances to the boardwalk if you follow the blacktop walkway past the pavilion and playground and head towards the stream. Due to the dry weather, the water is relatively low, yet the view is still very beautiful.
Neabsco Regional Park
Go for a walk on the boardwalk. Consider looking in the direction of Neabsco Creek, which is home to several bird species. Along the wide track, there are workout stations that are thoughtfully placed. A playground for kids next to the parking door.
It’s tidy and peaceful, making a stroll enjoyable. The parking options are very decent. The walking route is a little bit short, which is the only drawback.
There are also herons, bald eagles, hawks, the stunning red-winged blackbird, which also has a yellow stripe adjacent to the red stripe, turtles, sporadic ducks, snake fish that may be seen in the water by the first muskrat lodge, and muskrats. At the other end of the half-mile boardwalk, there is a second, less prominent lodge known as Beaverdam.
Locked after dark with the exception of the full moon moonwalks every month! A ranger leads them, illuminating the fauna that is still visible.
Veterans Memorial Park
Diving boards, a water slide, and a swimming pool. This is our favorite spot to take our kids to spend the day, with baseball paths, a track for jogging, a basketball court both inside and outside, tennis courts, vistas of water and animals, and pre-kindergarten programs.
There are also fields for baseball, soccer, tennis, skateboarding, and fishing. The trials are a little light, but it is made up for by the fact that you are working within a 15-minute walk of the nearby wildlife preserve. Children adore hearing and seeing trains pass.
Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Very large area for biking, walking, or simply enjoying the animals and birds. The fact that this location was so wonderful astonished us. Free admission, plenty of parking, restrooms, a picnic shelter, maps, and broad pathways were all provided.
While going down the road, you could see a lot of rabbits and wild turkeys. There are some lovely bird viewing locations where a telescope is available without charge. In general, a nice spot to hang out, especially if you have kids because they will like it.
