Hadley's Park — Attraction in Sterling

This park might look bright and cheerful, but it’s dangerously neglected. My child fell while running and ended up with a scraped right knee the rubber flooring is so worn down, it’s practically solid. It no longer cushions falls, and that’s a serious risk for any child playing here.

Some of the stairs feel loose or exposed. No repairs, no updates, no signs of inspection. I don’t know which agency or jurisdiction is responsible Loudoun County? Dulles Town Center? Whoever it is, this falls on you.

If you can’t maintain it, close it before a child gets seriously injured. Someone has to be accountable. Parks are supposed to be safe spaces, not traps waiting to hurt someone. If there’s any budget for parks, it’s clearly not reaching here.

This isn’t just neglect, it’s a warning sign. Take...

Great little playground for kids, and families. Lots of space, and you can easily keep an eye on your children. The playground floor doesn't use wood chips, it appears to be made of recycled materials, maybe old tennis shoes. Great for lessening the impact of rough falls, and scrapes. It's in a nice neighborhood, that's easy to see from the road. The landscaping company responsible for this neighborhood does a good job maintaining the grass play area in front, and cutting down on mosquito population. No water fountain, or public bathrooms...

Came to this playground the other day with my son! He had a blast running around. This was such an adorable brightly colored playground it was just a shame to see a lot of the paint chipping off the metal. This playground is definitely great for kids in wheelchairs or any other kids with disabilities. It does have close proximity to the road which I wasnt a fan of but my son does a decent job of listening and staying on the playground when told. It was my first time at this playground so I hope to be back for more playdates...
