I had this park on my list of places to visit and so glad I found it. Not cheap since I had to pay a couple of tolls to get there but worth the journey. Several trails to choose from but all in a loop around the water. Excellent signage for plants and the history of the establishment of the area. Promising to know that so many individuals and businesses care about our waterways and the animals. The wood plant is noisy but knowing that the businesses are working in harmony with nature makes it less distracting. I almost missed the “earth mound” and the higher elevation for the improved view. Impressed that someone was there on Christmas digging up invasive plants. Thanks for your efforts! Definitely want to return to use the kayak ramp in the spring.

Portsmouth, VA doesn't get a lot of reviews or high praise. But if you find yourself in the area visiting friends or family, take a short trip over to Portsmouth City Park. The park is small but quaint and family friendly. It is well maintained and clean, with the added bonus of a golf course, fenced in tennis court, boat launch, playground, and Sheltered picnic areas, on the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River. The entrance is hidden by an age-old cemetery, but be surprised by the peaceful reflection of the park when you get there.

I used to live 10 minutes from this lovely place and went there very often. I never had enough and was never boring since it has so many trails and hidden corners, that every time you go, you discover something new. My favorite spot was the marsh deck (when you enter the park, take a left and continue straight, you will find the sign that leads you to this spot). It is spectacular. And it is always different. It is definitely worth a visit, specially in fall... the colors are astonishing. You can make your visit as short or as long as you want. You can either stay on the main path around the lake (approx 15 - 20 minutes), or explore every trail you will find along the way. The service is amazing and it is FREE. I would nevertheless recommend you leave a donation. I will be wisely used to preserve the park.
