Fort Hunt Park has become one of our family parks. The facilities are well maintained, and staff are friendly and helpful.

The location was spacious and the Ranger was hospitable.
The only problem I experienced was Pavilion A was not clean and I had to do some housekeeping.
Overall everyone had a good time and we plan to schedule future annual events at Fort Hunt Park.

For a wet, rainy day, the annual Groveton High School All class picnic was pretty well attended. It is an event that everyone looks forward to every year. We look forward to holding our all class picnic at Ft. Hunt Park for many years to come

We rented shelter A for an event in mid September. We appreciated that it had convenient bathrooms (fairly clean and stocked) and a playground nearby. Unfortunately, the flies and bees were a big pest from the beginning, and became even worse when we got the food out. There were wasp nests hanging in the shelter, which left me wondering why they weren't knocked down before the reservation. The condition of the shelter could use some TLC, with many posts damaged and in need of repair. Overall though, it was a good experience and we would return.

Staff and facilities great we love it there. Please fix the power issues at Pavilion A. We arrived and the power was tripped. 1/2 through our show the power went out. Luckily we got it back on without damaging our sensitive equipment and months of rehearsals leading up to the event. We love Fort Hunt, poor power is very risky to our shows that we rehearsal 4 months for, sensative equipment as well as safety for the children on stage. Looking forward to partnering again next year.
