Randol Mill Park

This was a beautiful spot. It was acres and acres of a variety of things from a water park, areas to cook/fellowship and athletic playing fields and trails. I went to walk along the trail that is close to the lake. Along the trails I saw a lot of beautiful flowers. I saw this spot off Hwy 30 and wanted to chill close to some water. No it's not running water like the ocean or river but the still water was refreshing. I will definitely visit this spot again and maybe go to the water park the next time. Despite it being really hot in July/August the water park was 'packed.'

Randol Mill Park – A Perfect Spot for Family Fun and Relaxation Randol Mill Park is truly a gem in our community! It offers a perfect blend of recreation, relaxation, and family-friendly activities that keep us coming back week after week. One of the best features of this park is its beautiful walking trails, which provide a refreshing and peaceful environment for a stroll. Whether you're walking alone, with family, or pushing a stroller, the scenic paths make every step enjoyable. For families with kids, the playgrounds are fantastic—spacious, clean, and filled with fun equipment that keeps little ones entertained for hours. The football and lawn tennis courts are great for sports lovers, offering well-maintained spaces for friendly matches and practice sessions. My family particularly enjoys playing lawn tennis here! During summer, the swimming pool is a major highlight. We always purchase our seasonal pass to get unlimited access, and it's one of the best ways to beat the heat while having fun. The pavilion area is another great feature, perfect for barbecues, gatherings, and celebrations with friends and family. For those who love a bit of outdoor adventure, the park even has a fishing area, adding to the variety of activities available. And with plenty of open space, it's also an ideal spot to walk with kids and enjoy nature. Overall, Randol Mill Park is an amazing place for outdoor fun, sports, and relaxation. My family loves spending time here, and we can’t wait for summer to enjoy the pool again! Highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a well-rounded recreational space.

I went to the pool and it closed at 5 , they have new hours. So I was by the little lake at a picnic table relaxing when I suddenly started walking, I ended up, as usual, off the beaten path. Some say I'm eccentric, some say weird and some just ask to spend a day with me , because I find and discover all the unusual. I love nature , and I stay away from crowds and I connect and find my happiness sometimes through wandering and though I have never shared before some of my crazy discoveries , I am today. Because I don't think everything worth seeing should be " paved out for you " , what i think I awesome and art and beautiful might not be for you,, someone out there will appreciate this find. Randoll mills park is awesome because of a duck and years of relentless spray painting, , and its natural beauty and pool, needs more water fountains. I think it a beautiful...enjoy 😉

No inner tubes of any type allowed! Went to the aquatic center today. 48” and taller is 9 dollars, 48” and under is 8. Summer swim pass is better if you plan on going frequently. 50 for 48” and under and 60 for 48” and over. Can be used at ALL Arlington aquatics center. There is a list on their website. For the water park…there were two areas. One for small children that’s has a park style water park with two slides along with a mini frog slide for VERY small children and another area for older kids. The one for older kids connects to the lazy river. The small children area is great for small children. My 1.5 year old went and was able to walk around freely, but parents must still stay vigilant because there are other children and the water is still enough for a child to fall and drown. The small children area also has colder water for some reason. There was a significant temperature difference between the two areas. So much that we stayed in the older children area. My 5 year old preferred the warmer water over the water slides and water fountains. They have shower stalls in the bathroom and both the bathroom and shower stalls were clean. Wet, but clean. Lifeguards didn’t take a break and swapped out routinely with other lifeguards to take a break from the heat. There were plenty of chairs, we used only one to set the whole family’s things down on. Nothing went missing, so that’s a plus. Only downfall is you CAN NOT bring any kind of inner tube in to float around the lazy river. We brought it into the park but we were only able to make one circle around the river before being told by the lifeguard that it was not allowed. No matter how small! So I carried my 1.5 year old the whole time. You can however have your toddler wear a floatie or life jacket. I have attached photos. Overall, the 5 year old had fun and so did the whole family, just wish inner tubes were allowed for younger children. It would have been perfect! Would definitely return, but would also seek out other water parks that allow inner tubes for small children.

The family had a great time Easter egg hunting after playing in the small playground near the tennis courts. On another day we had fun getting back to nature. The family and I found an old part of Randol Mill Park past the bridge near the end of the park. There was an old water fountain hidden in the trees, a few street lights (two with bat houses attached) and the remains of what looked like a public bathroom.
