Plymouth Park

I live less than a mile from this park and never knew it existed until very recently. This city park is very small occupying only 3.13 acres. The only entrance is off of Pond Lane in the Plymouth Park section of SoNo in Chesapeake. The park is surrounded on three sides by trees, bushes and undergrowth. The rear of the park borders on Indian River but there is no boat ramp and the area is not accessible by car. There is no dedicated parking area for Plymouth Park, if you come by vehicle you will need to park on the street.There is a nice sidewalk around the perimeter of the park. The sidewalk is a great place to get a little walking exercise as it is well maintained and drainage is good so that water does not flood the sidewalk or pool in other areas of the park after a hard rain. There is a small children's playground area with very basic equipment featuring mostly swings and slides. There is one very small pavilion which houses two picnic tables. There are no grills and no bathroom facilities, there is one park bench. Like all city parks in Chesapeake, Plymouth Park is open daily from Sunrise to Sunset. I really appreciate how well this small city park is kept. There is never any litter and the park is always clean. All the equipment and facilities are attractive and appear to be in good working order. This tiny park is definitely an asset for those who live in the community.
