Kids Dominion Park (Private community only) — Attraction in Dale City

This place is amazing, clean, and beautiful. I also like the fact that it has legitimate jungle gyms and other climbing and balancing equipment that would be fun and challenging even for older kids instead of just sticking with the same overly safe, boring equipment that most playgrounds have today. However, it is also a PRIVATE PLAYGROUND for people in the Montclair community ONLY. You have to be a homeowner in the community, pay the rec fee, register to use it, display the decal when you park there, and check in with the recreational guard (yes, I kid you not, this playground has a GUARD!) on duty, and you can only let your child(ren) play there when there's a guard on duty. We're on a loooooong road trip and our 4yo desperately needed a wiggle break, this place looked awesome on Google maps, and it's right off of I-95, so we stopped. We had no clue that it was PRIVATE. Maybe one of the other reviews says so, but I only had time to glance through the pics and note the aggregate 5 stars from other reviewers (reading in a moving vehicle makes me car sick). If anyone who is a community member reads this, please contact Google or ask someone on the board to do so and update the listing for this playground so that other parents don't make the...

Kids loved this place. I like that it had a fence around it except there were a lot of nails and screws hanging out of the fence. Very dangerous for kids. Someone needs to do a thorough inspection of the fence. I suspected this would be the case, so I gave it a good inspection myself. Some sections in the fence also need repair. Otherwise, the park is well maintained. No visible trash anywhere. I thought the 3 levels were a cool feature that led up to the tall slides. They are kinda dangerous as the kids rocket down them pretty fast and tend to be thrown to the ground at the bottom. Maybe some backfilling and new mulch under the tall slides could solve that problem. There is a little library that had some decent books in it. Take one leave one. I spent some time plucking out all of the staples in the wood under the small pavilion. My wife and I always try to leave places just a little cleaner and a little safer for the next family. A small group of us parents gathered to share our best known places to visit with the kids. Everyone seemed very cool there. Overall, we really liked this place and I'm sure we will now...

We love kids dominion! We go often. We love the lion water fountain, the free little library, the shaded picnic tables and fenced playground. There are also 2 different play areas for different age groups and a 2 person swing for those who cant swing along or just want to swing with their kids. Great way to run the energy out of your kids in a safe environment. Parking is tough on popular days but we walk with friends most of the time. Unfortunately I didnt take a picture of the whole structure. There is a 3 level tower that kids...
