We've heard good things about this park and it seems a popular place for hiding painted rocks. We met some friends here today and walked the trails with some toddlers and preschoolers. There were some nice spots for the kids to play in the stream and several people walking dogs to say hello to. Overall it was a quiet and low key place on a late Friday morning. There seems to be no dedicated parking, so we ended up parking on a neighborhood street and walking in. Unfortunately there was no map by the beginning of our trail so we kind of wondered around. We ended up on the tiny playground (consisting of a slide and two swings) to play and have a picnic lunch. I would have liked to have seen a map and had a better idea of where we were going but it was a small enough set of trails in the side we were on. I've marked the playground location on the screen shot I'm including (or trying to) with this review.

I go through this trail all the time when I am biking to Fairfax. Although some parts of the trail are not paved, it is very clean and peaceful. I especially like the spot by Blenheim Blvd. with the benches and it is the perfect spot to take a break in with the view of the bridge. It sure is very nice and peaceful park for walking and biking!

Great trail, beautiful park. The trails are fine gravel, but you can take a stroller if it's a hardier one (umbrella strollers won't cut it). There's a small playground at one end. If you go a little off the trail, there are fun surprises like a wooden fort and wooden teepee made by people in the neighborhood.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Monsters in the Park activity! The trails were well maintained and lots of access points from nearby neighborhoods. Rumor has it that a holiday themed "hunt" is planned for later in 2020. We will be back!

I accidentally discovered that there is such a quiet trail surrounded by woods in Fairfax, which is very surprising. There are several playgrounds along the trail, which are great for taking children to play.

Several interconnected trails through a wooded park. The main path is very wide and crushed gravel but there are other trails that cut through the woods. Several entrances that meet up with neighborhoods.
