Woodstock Park

If you’ve got kids in the 5-12 range and a dog that needs a run, this place checks a lot of boxes at once. The skate park is genuinely one of the bigger ones you’ll find around Virginia Beach, so expect it to draw a crowd on weekends. Walking paths make it easy to loop around while the kids do their thing, and the restrooms are actually kept up — which, honestly, isn’t something you can say about every park in the area. Fair warning though: shade over the playground is pretty sparse, so bring sunscreen if you’re heading out midday in the summer.
