Woodstock Park — Attraction in Virginia Beach

12/23 update They added a communications board from CHKD with images a child can point to for help communicating. It was really cool to see it there when we visited. Not sure when it was added. Yep, Still love this park.

Very clean and friendly! Our...

I haven't been to this particular park yet, but wanted to respond to Ms. Diamond's remarks, two sides to each story as it may. In Va Beach, for a fee, as long as the owner shows proof of vaccines and proof of current rabies. I for one jump for joy. I don't want my dog getting sick, and neither does it seem most of the other caring owners. 8 years old. That is their rule. Have you seen a baby stroller in a dog park? I have. Have you seen how those dogs just love to frolic, run, jump, nip, leap, stumble, bump, and crash into whatever happens to be in their way? They are just being dogs. Small children, for their safety, need to be on the other side watching the show!! I am not being mean or critical. It just needs to be fair to both sides. And the fee in Va Beach.....btw, is for...
