Western Branch Park

Let's face it - the Western Branch area doesn't have all the amenities and fancy things that the other end of Chesapeake has. We're out here and we gotta work with what we have. This place does well with what they have. The dog park is simple.. it's a fenced in area for dogs to play.. what more do you need?The park area is kinda neat. It recently updated it's playground area with a new playground set and it's very respectful. They were able to keep their old stuff and the rope tower is kinda fun (adult approved). Then if you want, there's a small trail that people can walk. Travelers be warned - it outlines the perimeter of the marsh area... mosquito's are a plenty. If you go towards the back of the park (keep driving) there are other amenities that many people just don't utilize enough. If you're trying to find something to do during COVID life, give this place a try, it's totally worth a shot! =)Food Taste: n/aOverall Service: n/aValue of food to cost: n/aFacility: 4Repeat customer: yesDog Friendly: yes

Today is my first visit to Western Branch Park; although, I've driven passed it oodles of times before. The big sign at the corner of the Community Center is hidden near the parking lot--keep driving on the right road. Here are some of Western Branch Park's key features:-Wonderful dog park with a watering station-Two playgrounds (one port-a-potty next to the larger playground)-Picnic tables, and grills-Lighted Tennis courts-Lighted Softball fields (real bathroom next to the fields)-Half-court Basketball courts-Hiking Trails; the website says that it's two-miles, but it isn't continuous. There is also a quiet paved road that slower (15 MPH) vehicles use, and can be used as an alternative hiking trail. While Western Branch Park is a pretty nice park -in general- I know of much nicer parks close by, that I would much rather use.

It's not a fabulous kids focused park. Two separate playgrounds (with a nice tree shade covering)that could use a little love. A big dog park, trails, picnic shelters, tennis courts and ball fields with bleachers and stadium lights.Park is clean, plenty of parking at the separate areas. It is a nice local park to get out and get some fresh air at. Building at the end of the park has restrooms and drinking fountain where the ball fields are otherwise port-a-johns are sporadically placed throughout. I don't know how many drinking fountains there are but definitely not any by playgrounds.

This is a beautiful park with trails, playgrounds, a dog park, and ball fields. No picnicking facilities unfortunately.

Fun dog park! Nice big park with plenty of trails to walk. Nice and clean. Tennis courts, ball parks and playgrounds. Something for everyone!
