Beechlake Park Newport News

This is a little hidden spot in a local neighborhood. It does not look like much at first there is very little parking since it is mainly intended for the neighborhood residents however it is one of the coolest parks I've seen It had a trail that circles a small lake and has a playground at one end including a tucked away basketball hoop and small court The trail has several possible paths all leading the same way some are next to the water and narrow others are steps and at an incline it is a great workout and the views are beautiful I saw signs of fishing so I can assume fish may be active in the lake I did see several species of birds while here today. The actual playground is clean and a decent size it has swings and a jungle gym complete with slides I walked the circle a few times and really enjoyed the atmosphere Beechlake Park is truly a hidden gem

It is a neat park, but because the water has no circulation the alge is too thick to fish.
