What a really cool find a few weeks ago. A park in a place that I least expected it and right under my nose for years. This is a neighborhood park located in Broad Bay Estates off of Great Neck Rd. The proximity to one of my favorite parks in the area, Great Neck Park is incredible. It's probably only a half mile. As a matter of fact the neighborhood opens a gate on weekends that connect the park and Great Neck Rec Center.The equipment is pretty standard for Virginia Beach parks and is in great shape. It offers some slides and climbing area's. The age appropriate according to the sign is 5-12 yrs. I really cannot see child over 9 wanting to play on it really. There are also swings older children to toddler. No shade is offered around the play equipment, so bring the sun block during the day.The amount of real estate this park occupies for a neighborhood park is amazing. I would say at least three acres. Someone has put up a volleyball net and a soccer goal, I believe this is not park owned. It;s cool that they have two very small shelters, just enough for one picnic tables and a few grills. A drawback is no restroom facilities. Also at issue is parking, there is no formal lot, so I imagine street parking is permitted.If your wanting a play area to yourself you would probably find this one with much lower numbers than the adjacent Great Neck Park. The GN park however is superior and recommend over this one. The biggest benefit that I see over other parks is the amount of field space for all types of activities. I am a fan and my kids enjoyed themselves too.

This park is great for kids and playing sports in the summer fun. It has a plaground that I can personally attest (I played here as a kid) is plain, old fun. Also, it has a fairly large field to play anything sports related or just play fetch with your dog companion. Has two tables with covers to set up a good picnic spot for the family. Usually not that crowded at all inside of a good, safe neighborhood.
