Rosemount-Lewis Regional Park in Manassas, VA!

Last week we checked out Rosemount-Lewis Regional Park in Manassas, VA. This Prince William County park is located off of 1100 Crestview Drive. The county website has the address as 8150 Ashton Avenue but this is not correct.

The park entrance is located in a cul de sac on Crestwood Drive. You have to park in the cul de sac and walk down the gravel drive to get to the walking trails, tennis court, basketball court, play equipment and picnic pavilion. As you can see from the red arrow I have added to the above photo I have pointed out that only pedestrians and emergency vehicles are allowed on the gravel road. Apparently I just glanced over that sign and with the gate open I just drove on in. Not until after we were done checking out the park that I noticed the small sign. If I learned anything from this mistake is that it's a pretty good walk down the gravel road to get to everything.

The park has two pieces equipment in pretty good shape. The tennis and basketball court were in good shape as well. The equipment didn't have any shade over it but the picnic pavilion is right next it. Sadly there are no restrooms for this park. But there are plenty of paved walking trails for you to stroll on in and around the park.

This was a cute park with plenty of grass and trees for the kids to run around. If you live in the Crestwood Village or Paradise Townhomes in Manassas you can easily walk to the park down one of the paved paths or gravel road to check it out.

Fairmont Park in Manassas, VA!

The weather was great today so the kids and I ventured out to Prince William County and did a park crawl. First up on our list was Fairmont Park in Manassas, VA. This Prince William County park is located off of Fairmont Avenue in a neighborhood of single family homes.

The park has one piece of the equipment, a set of toddler swings and a tire swing for the older kids. The equipment doesn't have much shade over it but there is a grove of trees for the kids to get out of the heat. One of the big slides was out of commission but the rest of the equipment was in good shape. There are restrooms at the park but since it's still February the indoor restrooms were winterized.

This is a cute neighborhood park and if you live in the area you should it check it out!

Joseph D. Reading Park in Manassas, VA!

A few weeks ago we checked out Joseph D. Reading Park in Manassas, VA. This cute little Prince William County park is close to Route 28 near Kline's Freeze on Maplewood Drive. If you weren't looking it for it you would never know it was there.

The park is tucked back away from Maplewood Drive. It has several walking paths, basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic pavilions. More importantly there are two little playgrounds with permanent restrooms near by. The equipment was in good shape with lots of shade around the equipment. The one turn off was that the slides were aluminum and were kind of hot when we went to check them out.

This park was very cute and very well maintained. In you live in Manassas you should check it out!

Ellis L. Barron Neighborhood Park in Manassas, VA!

Several weeks ago we checked out Ellis L. Barron Park in Manassas, VA. This Prince William County park is close to several apartment complexes and condos.

The park didn't have any shade over the play equipment and the equipment is made of metal so in the summer months it's probably going to get pretty hot. There were two swings but no toddler swings. A small picnic pavilion is located nearby the playground and offers shade and a nice place to eat a snack. The park also has a basketball and tennis court. When we were there they had a porta potty that was set up in the shade.

Ellis L. Barron is a cute neighborhood park so if you live nearby you should check it out!

George Hellwig Memorial Park in Manassas, VA!

Last week we tested out a new park in Prince William County, George Hellwig Memorial Park. Located in Manassas it is located near the Independent Hill community off of Bristow Road. The area offers a few newer communities with homes on large lots and many older homes on acreage. In the same section of the park is the Park Authority Headquarters and the small Independent Hill Library.

The park has a lot to offer with soccer fields, baseball fields, walking trails, shaded playground, restrooms, tennis and basketball courts. Several shaded pavilions are available for rental or just to sit down have a nice picnic. The playground equipment is new and offers plenty for the children to play on. A small musical section always the kids to the play the drums and other musical instruments. The tot lot does offer shade in the form of large umbrellas and a few trees.

We have gone to this park a lot since my in laws live near by and the kids always have a great time!
