A small lake with picnic tables and restrooms and a concession stand that is open in summer and for a couple special events at other times of the year. (A Santa Hayride/Halloween and a few others.) There is a merry go round and kids playground and boat rentals with a nice sandy beach (but no swimming allowed) as well as... More

Lake Accotink is a VERY dog-friendly park. We attended the Howl-O-Ween Dog Bone Hunt & Costume Show and were fortunate to have GREAT weather and a lot of dog dressed 'appropriately for the season'.

Springfield's best kept secret! Incredible and quaint family-oriented park with row and paddle boats, merry-go-round, picnic and bbq with pavillions, hiking trails, and more!

Great place for the kids, lots of running trails to lose yourself in for a peaceful run. Remove all the stress of the day along or with the kids.

Would recommend visiting Burke Lake park, which isn't much further then Lake Accotink. But definitely not a bad place to have a birthday party for your kid or a place to take them to run around.

They have pavillion areas that are great for large gatherings to cook out. Plenty of parking

Great place to take the kids. Beautiful park with lots to do.

If you're finding a simple place for children (ages 5-10) to play; Lake Accotink Park would be a great location. Parents & children can take nice walks, have a nice picnic, boat & kayak there, etc. My kids especially liked the carousel. The lake is a great view. I recommend for you & your family going there.
