Town Point Park

This year was my first time attending the Fourth of July firework display here. My children had an absolutely amazing time and I enjoyed watching them have the time of their lives. There were vendors for food (the lines were not terrible while I was in line), but bringing food and coolers of your own were also allowed. The music, firworks, and energy of the crowd made for a good experience .If ever attending, please expect departure to be ridiculous. The parking deck was nearly at capacity when we arrived so we had to park at the very top, the elevator lines were long (we had a stroller) and the elevators were slow due to so many people using them. Despite this everyone was cooperative and rudeness did not exist that night ( thank God). Definitely don't mind going again.

I decided to attend Harbor Fest at Town Point Park this weekend, and boy, oh boy, was i pleasantly surprised. This park is located in the heart of Down Town Norfolk Waterside district and right off the river, so it's very magical, in my opinion. It has a lovely place to have events. It has a massive layout, so it is used a lot for festivals in the summer. There is plenty of space for vendors and even enough space for about three stages. The commute here is easy peasy, and there are plenty of options to park. We parked in a parking garage 2 blocks down from this park. There are so many restaurants to choose from right next door to this park and down the street. You have Nautilus and many other venues, a short walk, and an even shorter drive from this park. If you want to have a picnic, play some games or just chill by the water this place is it. So get your picnic baskets and blankets or grab and book and come here because this is a gem of a park. Outstanding job to the City of Norfolk!

I always have a nice time at Town Point Park and today was no exception. The NATO International Festival was a lot of fun. Great exhibits from the different Countries and fun music, as well. The food was tasty, too! Can't beat free admission either!

Got to love how this park in Norfolk can unite so many people for many different events and yet remain an open, public, beautiful space to relax in, have a picnic, or a pleasant stroll through - when not under event occupation. I love coming here to watch the sunset over the water on a normal evening, but I've enjoyed copious events such as Night Nation Run, Wine Festivals and other community led festivals without paid entry. It's a great space and remains clean and well looked after.Every city needs a park like this, so I feel blessed to have this particular one in ours. Enjoy!

I like this city waterfront park in downtown Norfolk at waterside. It's pretty and easily accessible with tons and tons of parking nearby. There are city garages and there are also some metered spots if you can snag them right in front. Walking paths follow along the waterfront and give a gorgeous view of the water and there are some boardwalk wooden sections as well as grassy sections to even things up. I like that it goes from Waterside area on a waterfront section past the boats to the Nauticus and then even continues through past the water to the Norfolk Pagoda garden. It's very pretty and a lot of the city races run through here.

Town point park is located nicely in between the waterside District and nauticus. I love the events held at this park. It's a rather large area that sits right next to the water. From here you can watch as the spirit of Norfolk takes sail. I find it best to park in one of the garages located across from the park. This is a beautiful area to take a walk around and let the kids get some energy out. I absolutely adore the water fountain area the kids always migrate to. Benches are located all around making it easy to take a break and take in the scenery. When events are held here, you can be sure to see a great variety of food trucks pull up. The wine festival is always a big hit here, and one of my favorite events held at town point park.

If you have small kids, this is a great park to take them to run around. It's a large green space by the water and several museums. There isn't a playground, but the nearby shops should keep kids entertained. There are statues throughout the park and the Elizabeth River Trail runs through it. I recommend taking it north to Cure Coffeehouse for a latte and bite to eat.

Our first time in Norfolk, and the first impression of this park was mixed. I personally like to see lots of trees in a park, closer to what it must have been like before this park was 'built.' I have a feeling though that the locals might enjoy this park in different ways than me, and I can see how the 'open field' would be a great site for. Festival, market, etc.++BenchesWell-maintained grassWaterfront, downtown location - -Lack of trees/shadeLack of amenities

I love this park and have so many good memories here!Price: Free.Parking: Not free. Find garage parking lots.Event: Many good ones. Fantasy nights, Ribtober Fest, wine and beer fests, Pirate one, etc...

Not a traditional park with trails but a great waterside view with sidewalks to sit and watch the sunset.
