Red Wing Park

The Japanese garden is very tranquil! I've been to Red Wing Park many times for picnics, playing tennis, and quick walks around the park!

you might want to add that this park is closed indefinitely until general repairs are completed ....

Red Wing Park is the very first place I go to whenever I am back in the area. I get horribly car sick every time I am in the car for nearly 4 hours and so do my 2 hounds. But once I step into the park, we just feel instantaneously better and feel like we just made it home. We happily go stretch our legs out and take a lap or two together and take it all in. Yes, even with the jets flying and everything, I feel so much at peace compared to being in the DMV area. And it's also the very last place I always visit before heading home. It lets us depart longing to come back again soon. I don't really know of any other places that makes me feel that way and that's just one of the very special things about going to Red Wing Park. As always, the park was well maintained with zero litters and dog dropping this past weekend. We had a wonderful visit 3 days in a row and I can't wait to return again soon.

This is one of the most beautiful, cleanest parks I have found in Hampton Roads! Looking for yet another way to entertain my toddler, we stopped by this past Sunday around 9am. There are 2 playground areas - one closer to the entrance on the right and another past the tennis courts on the left. The 2nd playground was empty and very well-shaded at this time of the morning so we parked close by and stayed here for an hour or so. There is plenty of parking available, nearby picnic tables and benches to rest while you watch your kiddos and clean restrooms a short walk away. Additional restrooms are located near the playground toward the front of the park. There were several games of soccer happening nearby so many cars were already parked along the road. I would recommend slow, cautious driving here as kids were darting in between cars and can easily go unseen until too late!We noted a paved pathway around the perimeter for biking or dog-walking. There are also 2 sand volleyball courts. We would have taken advantage of the empty courts to play in the sand, but they were swarming with flies. On our exit, I noticed some nice picnic areas with grills, space to play games and covered pavilions.I have visited during peak cherry blossom blooming and I recommend coming early on those days as it gets packed with amateur photographers and visitors. Overall a beautiful park to visit with plenty of open space and things to do for families.

This is a really great park! It's a LOT bigger than I thought when I first pulled in. There are numerous play areas for kids, a dog park, ample covered shelter areas for picnics and such. I was in the area for an event, and decided since the weather was so beautiful to take a stroll through the Japanese gardens here. It's amazing! They also have a huge collection of cherry blossom trees - the bloom had already passed when I visited, but apparently when you catch them in bloom it's just like the festivals I went to at several temples in Japan! I'm going to mark this on my list of things to do next spring for sure.

A nice park with a small, but beautiful Japanese garden at the entrance. This park is right off general booth blvd. Bathrooms are slightly further into the park on the right once you have passed the Japanese garden. There are enormous fields to run around, have a picnic and walk your dogs. The cherry blossoms line the left side of the park. I haven't had a chance to explore the trails (which I think they do have). There is a basketball court, tennis court, a playground and some picnic shelters as well. I've only walked the perimeter. They even have a pollinator garden on the left near the entrance.

Redwing Park is UNIQUE because of 3 thing. (1) dog park (2) Japanese garden (3) the cool paths through the woods.#1 Dog park. To use the dog park you should have proper shots up to date and proper dog license. Read the regulations before taking your dog. My favorite is to take my lunch and sit in my car and watch the dogs playing.#2 The Japanese Garden. This is a must see and I enjoy walking through I see so many photo shoots. It is a lovely garden. I have actually done a lot of Plein Air paintings in the garden. A lot of visual beauty.#3 The cool paths throughout the woods. I have made many videos and pictures through the woods. The city staff really take pride in the planting his park and it shows. Nice big trees and great for bird watching.The rest of the park includes. - tennis courts, 2 separate play grounds for kids of different ages. Several picnic areas. A place to play horse shoes. Great bathroom area. HUGE field for soccer and kickball. Basket ball courts and a volley ball area.And last but not least a HUGE row of magnificent cherry trees. Every year around Mother's Day they have a cherry blossom festival. It is magnificent.I love this park it is my favorite in the Virginia Beach area.

( Let me start off by saying) well let's not use that phrase for this particular review!. The city of Virginia Beach uses this park every year for employee appreciation cookout,ever since I've been employed by them anyway,but back to the review they use Pollards Chicken which for those of you that are not locally here in Virginia Beach is a local chicken spot( chicken is ok ). The catering is pretty good though. The park is pretty big with large grass areas to hang out and relax. There is a basketball court there as well if you want to shoot some hoops,restrooms nearby the courts too,there are restrooms facilities further in the park too if you're out in the grass areas as well for your convenience,there are other things you can do there as well but I only go for yearly company outings!...

This is one of the most beautiful park in Virginia Beach. There are tall trees for the summer shade. It's like walking through a mini forest. The dog park is divided into 2 spacious sections with a nice view of the trees.

A beautiful park!!! There is so much open area! Of course there are those beautiful cherry blossom trees when they are bloom that's how I found out about this park. There is a cute garden to walk through to the left when you enter the parking lot. There is parking lots but, if it is super crowded, parking along the street is a must. There is a playground as well. We opted out because no one was using a mask. There are large fields to play games and picnic areas to have BBQs. It truly is a beautiful wide open park!
