    A good place to bring the kids to do a lot of fun activities! A big playground, fishing, a splash pad, and the rec center offers both educational and fun classes to attend.

    Rio Vista is within walking distance of our home so we love to visit. Recently the playground was redesigned! Throughout the week, the fields are busy with school aged sports, including soccer, football and softball. There is a skate park that is almost always busy, and a new cafe which we haven’t had a chance to try yet. We used to be members of the rec center which has great racquetball courts and a nice gym. We love walking around the lake. Lots of ducks and geese and occasionally a crane. Overall this is a wonderful community park.

    Very nice park where you can relax by the ponds or go for a walk. I love taking my dog there to see the ducks and other dogs out with their owners. Very clean and well maintained public park. Bring a blanket or a fold up chair because there’s a lot of duck poop in certain areas but it’s nature at its finest. 😉🦆🦆🦆 Besides, it all comes out in the wash🐥

    Nice park. Good times here. They have a nice gym for residents and the lake and ducks are great background for doing a walk around the pond.

    Not to impressed with our first time here. Wanted to do some fishing and ended up finding a very weak, young and injured duck, he was taken to a wildlife rehab. Fishing here was not great. Only caught one tiny fish that was returned. The ponds edge design made it very hard for younger ducks to get out. There was one other one that could not get out but we were unable to catch it. Not sure we will venture back to this fishing spot.

    Soccer lessons for 3 yr old grand daughter daughter were fabulous.

    It is well-equipped and spacious. The staff is friendly and helpful. Never feels crowded but they have plenty of things for groups to do. It would be perfect if there was a body of water for humans to swim in vs. the one just for fish surrounding the place ha

    Very clean, family friendly, and tons of ducks to feed here. Little to no fishing here but the pond supports what it can do. Also there are tons of Pokemon here to catch, green grass and lots of trees. Best part is that the New River Trail runs directly next to the park, perfect for a mid-stop break.

    Great little place to go. They have weights, tracks, basketball/volleyball/tennis courts, cardio, rock wall climb, game booths, kids care, and an arcade. Honestly, this is an amazing place to go. Then you have the park attached, the water park area, and playground. The Rec Center does have membership fees so you'll have to check into the front desk to sign up but it's worth it

    Nice camping area in State Trust land. Lots of people but not packed. Roads are a bit bumpy.

  • 5/5 Jack du M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great community recreation center! Very clean and well maintained. Classes are well attended. Love the volleyball that they have 3 times a week. Good exercise equipment. The walking/jogging track above the gym floor is wonderful for anyone who wants to do that indoors rather than outside.

    I went with my family for small picnic this morning and is terrible the experience because the lake is so dirty,it was two died fish and garbage everywhere around the lake!

  • 5/5 Jane N. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful scenery down the trailhead & you would think you were in the middle of a marsh with all the crickets & bugs sounding off~

  • 5/5 Jay D. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome use of green belts with several walking trails. Ponds with lots of people fishing. A memorial park for all branches of the military. Several baseball and softball fields. Soccer fields. Skate park. Sand volleyball courts. A splash pad for the kids. A huge playground. Ramadas with lots of grills. And so much more! A great place to take a lawn chair and find a shady tree and relax.

    Nice enough place. We like this area. Close to Honey Hive Farms. They are open on Saturdays 10 am to 1 pm so we go pick up local raw honey and then hit the park.

    Oddly enough, I was here as a wedding photographer for a couple who tied the knot! I was really surprised to see what a great space this is, not only as a neighborhood park, but for events such as weddings. It was spacious, accommodating, and really pretty. Ample, private area for the bride's getting ready room, great lighting for hair and makeup, large outdoor ceremony space and even pretty surroundings for after ceremony bride and groom photos! They also had fabulous accommodations for the reception space. A real hidden gem!
