Picture Perfect Adventures in Loudoun CountyPicture Perfect Adventures in Loudoun County- Parks, playgrounds, farms, historic properties, hiking trails and more!

Today I'm going to share with you one of our favorite parks in Western Loudoun, but first here is your reminder to make sure that you be mindful of ticks and avoid poison ivy. Need a reminder of what poison ivy looks like? Not really familiar with ticks? My first blog has some links to some great information that could help you avoid some really frustrating situations. If you haven't already, you can read that here.

Now onto the adventures!

If you live in Loudoun County, you know that the weather this past week has been less than ideal for outdoor adventures, but we still made it work! I decided to break up the blog a little bit, so today I'm just going to share one place to highlight how cute it is!

Hamilton Park

The day was overcast with a heavy threat of rain, but we wanted to get outside to play for a bit. Living in Purcellville, Hamilton Park is less than 10 minutes away and is a perfect place for quick adventure for us. This tucked away park in Hamilton is a perfect spot for kids of varying ages, since there are multiple play areas for different interests. Ashley's favorite spot is always the zip line. She's not quite big enough to give herself the launch that she needs, but she sure loves to try!

There are also two large playgrounds, a suspended web, a climbing dome, a running/balancing/climbing area, a swing set (with an accessible swing), a play train and a sand pit area pre-filled with trucks for those construction dreams! This playground really has something for everyone for playtime!

There is also a pavilion with a grill that you can rent for birthday parties, a large field for open-ended play, lots of shade and plenty of benches for caregivers to be able to take a rest and still be able to watch their littles play. 

Like I said, this was a super quick trip to the park due to the impending rain, but I think that Ashley had a blast considering that this is one of the only "posed" pictures that I got of her as she was running off to play with her new friends. Overall, this is a great park to bring your kids, especially if you have multiple kids with varying ages and/or interests.
