Go Ape in Williamsburg to open kids course

Posted on February 2, 2013 by mrwilliamsburg

Go Ape, the treetop adventure course in Freedom Park is planning to add a separate course designed for younger children, ages 5 and up, in addition to its regular course, designed for adults and children 10 and up..

Construction on the Jr. Course will start this winter or early spring, with a projected opening date this summer.

What is Go Ape Tree Top Junior?

A fun filled experience of canopy exploring, trail blazing and obstacles for all to enjoy. You’ll negotiate crossings and finish on a high (literally) with one awesome zip wire!

Who will enjoy Tree Top Junior?

The Tree Top junior course is aimed at adventurers aged 5-10 years. The safety systems are designed so that participants stay attached the whole time they are in the trees and there is no need for them to move any safety lines. Participants only become unattached when back on the ground. We don’t require adults to accompany over 6′s on the course but you are more than welcome to book yourself on. The course is quite physical and high in the trees, you know your child best so please do accompany them if you think they’ll need the moral or physical support.

Can I go on as an Adult?

If you want to join your mini Tarzans then just book yourself on. Bear in mind the course is designed for children so the safety cable won’t be quite where you would like it.

Williamsburg Parks Join Mobile App Network

Posted on August 30, 2012 by mrwilliamsburg

The City of Williamsburg’s Parks and Recreation Department has linked up with a recently launched mobile app — ParksNReviews — that is available for iPhone and Android based phones and has a network of more than 13,000 parks across the nation.

ParksNReviews determines your location and finds parks for you within a designated radius or by a particular amenity, such as boating or picnic facilities. The app then gives you information about the park, links to a map for directions, telephone number and the website. You can also rate the park and add a review.

It seems that a majority of James City County parks are listed as well…

Kidsburg/ Mid County Park Updates March 2012

Posted on March 20, 2012 by mrwilliamsburg

Several renovation and construction projects are underway at Kidsburg/ Mid County Park in James City County. These projects are consistent with the Board of Supervisors approved Mid County Park Master Plan to shift activities from organized team sports to more community recreation, such as use of the walking trails, basketball and tennis courts. The park, which opened in 1985, is also in much need of repair—aging equipment, safety and parking are all critical issues.

kidsburg1

Improvement projects include:

● Removal of lighting and fencing from the baseball fields has been completed. The demolition of press boxes and dugouts is scheduled next. Lighting, including fixtures from the park, are currently being installed at the Warhill Sports Complex and at the Jamestown High School baseball and softball fields to compensate for lighting lost at Mid County Park. ● Grading of the field area. The field will be designed with large open space and landscaping to provide patrons opportunities for more self paced activities such as picnics, ball play, kite-flying and other such
activities.
● A new Kidsburg. As the planning and design continues, the focus is on replacing the wooden playground structures. The new playground will be more modern, but many of the current Kidsburg themes will remain. One new element being considered as an addition to the new playground is a “spray pad.” A spray pad is not a water park, but one small area for water play that has no standing water. Typically there are ground nozzles that spray water upwards out of the splash pad’s rain deck.

In most cases, the water is either freshwater, or recycled and treated water which is typically treated to at least the same level of quality as swimming pool water standards. Some elements of a spray pad can be used year round as additional playground features. These photo are of examples of typical splash pads. All new park features, including the spray pad, will be considered as park improvement funding permits

● Replacement of the park building. A new park building will feature larger restroom facilities, meeting
space, vending areas and an office. Renovation will be completed in stages and should be finished by
spring 2013.
● Many park amenities will remain including the basketball, tennis and volleyball courts and the walking trail.

Did You Purchase A Fence Picket?

If you purchased a fence picket at Kidsburg, and would like it back, please call (757) 592-0495 and leave your name, the name on the picket, your phone number and a message.

The pickets will be available for pick up in fall 2013 when playground renovations are scheduled to begin. A plaque will also be installed at the park to honor its history and those individuals and businesses who supported the park through fence picket purchases and as volunteers.

Throughout the renovations, we’ll keep you informed of our progress. Subsequent updates will detail the proposed new park layout and design concepts for the new Kidsburg. For more information, call (757) 259-5360 or visit www.jamescitycountyva.gov/recreation

Busch Gardens Williamsburg Opening Sesame Street April 3, 2009

Posted on February 27, 2009 by mrwilliamsburg

Park to Open March 28, New Attraction Opens April 3

It’s the kind of news that children and parents everywhere will love to hear–Sesame Street Forest of Fun at Busch Gardens will open April 3.

Sesame Street Forest of Fun will open in two phases.

When the park opens Saturday, March 28, families can dine with Elmo and mingle with the cast of characters over breakfast or lunch at a Sesame Street-themed indoor dining facility. They also can watch all of their favorite Sesame Street characters in a 4-D movie at the Globe Theatre called "Sesame Street presents Lights, Camera, Imagination!" Then on Friday, April 3, Busch Gardens will open Sesame Street Forest of Fun for the season starting with a special two-week preview. Guests can visit Elmo and his friends and explore Busch Gardens’ newest attraction, situated in the England section of Busch Gardens.

Sesame Street Forest of Fun features four new rides offering kid-sized versions of popular attractions, including a junior roller coaster designed for parents and children to ride together. The Forest of Fun will also feature wet and dry play areas, a photo studio where families can capture images of their children with "Sesame Street" characters and stage performances by the children’s television show’s creatures.

Generations of children have grown up on the acclaimed and hugely popular "Sesame Street" educational television series, which melds education with entertainment.

As workers and machinery bustled about the 1.5-acre construction site, the the emerging Forest of Fun was shown to parents, reporters, amusement park enthusiasts and local officials yesterday. Officials would say only that building the Sesame Street area in the England section of Busch Gardens will cost "millions of dollars."

"We believe Sesame Street Forest of Fun will be a hit for our park and boost tourism in this region when families are looking for vacations that are worth their hard-earned money," said John Reilly, Busch Gardens’ general manager and executive vice president, in a statement.

Great Wolf Lodge Hosts Fundraiser For My Place

Posted on February 20, 2009 by mrwilliamsburg

Great Wolf Lodge is opening its indoor water park to the general public for one day ,March 1 , 2009 from 2pm-8pm to raise money for My Place, a 5,100-square-foot, community-funded playground being planned at the James City/Williamsburg Community Center.

For $30 per individual, children and their parents can enjoy the amenities offered at Great Wolf Lodge that are usually reserved for guests staying at the resort and convention center. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the My Place project.

Children under 2 years old are admitted free. Space is limited, and all children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

“Great Wolf Lodge supports community projects like My Place that offer opportunities to underserved segments of the population,” said Tom Neely, the resort’s manager. “Serving families is a cornerstone of Great Wolf Lodge’s business. Helping children and their families realize their potential through our support of My Place is a way to give back to the community.”

Fundraising for this $133,000 project began in November 2008. My Place is entirely dependent upon private funding resources, with the majority of the financing sought from individuals and through fundraising events.

Members of the Leadership Historic Triangle program developed the My Place project after recognizing the need for an inclusive playground serving Historic Triangle residents. Currently, Newport News is the only nearby community that has similar facilities. Richmond is the next closest for many Historic Triangle residents. Building a playground at the James City/Williamsburg Community Center bridges that gap and will provide an opportunity for children of all abilities to play and learn.

Date : March 1,2009

A Playground for Everyone !

Posted on January 29, 2009 by mrwilliamsburg

From an article in the WYDaily

Buy a brick, get a park.

Fundraising continues for a new James City County playground that’s designed for everyone, literally.

The My Place campaign, in a collaborative effort by Leadership Historic Triangle and The Greater Williamsburg Chamber and Tourism Alliance, will tentatively begin construction in May of 2009.

Click here to find out how you can help with MyPlace

My Place will be a 5,100 square foot playground built under shade of trees outside the James City/Williamsburg Community Center. My Place will be not only accessible to all, but usable by all as part of a universal design concept.

“With universal design all elements are designed to be used by everyone,” says Bondy Gibson, York County Schools Director of Student Affairs. Gibson is working with parents of students with disabilities, taking ideas for the park from those who know first-hand.

“For example, a sandbox elevated to allow clearance for a wheelchair makes it universal,” she says.
The ongoing fundraising events are just as diverse as the activity stations planned for the site.

According to Adam Nash, the group’s fundraising chair, the goal is slowly but surely getting closer. Of the $133,000 needed, the group’s about 40 percent there, he says.

A $50 donation earns a brick, which can be personalized before it is used in the foundation.
“The biggest expense is pouring the rubberized surface the park will sit on,” says Nash.

On March 1 Great Wolf Lodge will open their indoor water park without need for reservations. All proceeds from admission will go to the construction effort.

Originally pegged as the only public play area between Richmond and Newport News that’s compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, it’s actually the only one with a universal design.

“All playgrounds are ADA compliant if they have a sidewalk. That’s bare minimum,” says Gibson. “This allows interaction for everyone, not a separate but equal playground.”

Sandboxes with back rests for children with difficulty sitting upright will be available, as well as visual cues at stations for children with literacy handicaps.

“Braille and sensory integration areas will also be there,” Gibson says. “So the kids who have trouble hearing or seeing can touch something that vibrates to stimulate learning.”

Part of the design comes from an idea known as Tolerance for Error. “Most of the park will have open space between things to allow a child to play and fall, while minimizing impact of accidents,” Gibson says.

The park is designed for all regardless of abilities. That means, for instance, disabled parents will be able to play at My Place with their able-bodied children.

“It’s also designed to allow low physical effort,” says Gibson. This will provide stations and play areas for people of all builds and sizes to have fun and explore.

The model for My Place is planned around not knowing who will show up, so areas have to be accessible and open to everyone.

Williamsburg VA Real Estate Are there nice beaches near Williamsburg VA ?

Posted on December 5, 2008 by mrwilliamsburg

John Womeldorf is Mr. Williamsburg, sharing his thoughts, real estate expertise, and “all things Williamsburg” in an effort to spread the word that Williamsburg, Virginia is the greatest place on earth to live!

We were in Williamsburg recently looking at homes for sale In driving around the Hampton Roads area we saw signs for the Outer Banks.

Living very near the ocean now in MA. (a couple of blocks) and wanting to be close, we wondered if we moved to Williamsburg for retirement (which we are considering) where the nearest nice, un-built up ocean area is.

I know parts (I think) of the Outer Banks are still fairly quiet and not high-rise city – is that right? We’ve never been, but been to Bald Head Island, which we adored. That, however, isn’t suitable for a weekend trip, which we would hope to do often.

How far driving time to get to this part from Williamsburg?

It’s about 2.5 hours to Duck a little further is Corolla and even Carova which is a beach community that only can be accessed by driving on the beach. Amazingly there are million dollar plus beach homes built in this area. The nearest store can be 8 miles down the beach !! Now that’s remote. As you drive down the beach you will sometimes see wild horses roaming free ( we have)

Our personal favorite is Corolla. We go as often as we can. ( parents have a house there ) There are plans to build a bridge across the Currituck Sound which will shorten the drive to Corolla by about an hour !

Lots of different beaches in the Outer Banks depending on what you like. The further north or south you go the less commercial they are. Much further south there are Rodanthe, Waves, Hatteras ( almost 6 hours to Hatteras) and you can take the ferry to Ocracoke a neat little place to visit at the southern tip of the Outer Banks. No high rise buildings. simply beaches, some stores and a lot of protected wildlife areas..

Another much closer beach to consider visiting is Sandbridge in VA Beach, 70 miles from Williamsburg.Located 15 miles south of (and 180° opposite) the Resort Area, Sandbridge is a secluded beach hideaway of 5 miles of pristine sand dunes and dancing sea oats. It is a relaxing and peaceful community where you can truly slow down and unwind on your vacation. Beachside, the Atlantic never fails to entertain. And for those craving even more of the great outdoors, the marshes and open waters of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and False Cape State Park make for great kayaking, hiking, and fishing It’s basically all beach houses. At The very end of Sandbridge is Little Island Park

Sandbridge Little Island Park has always been a great place to take the family. It has a playground for the kids, a fishing pier for the anglers, and a wonderful covered picnic area. This year it gets even better with a packed calendar of FREE events designed to bring a little taste of the resort area entertainment to the laid back attitude of Sandbridge.

It is located in Sandbridge Beach at 3820 Sandpiper Road. Amenities include basketball courts, concessions, fishing pier, picnic shelters, playground equipment, restrooms, surfing/swimming, tennis courts and volleyball courts.

Beyond that is False Cape State Park a 4300 acre park with 6 miles of undeveloped beach along the Atlantic Ocean. You can only get there by walking or biking.

Youth Football in Williamsburg VA

Posted on November 10, 2008 by mrwilliamsburg

I thought I would share a few thoughts from one of our son’s youth football coaches. Youth Football in Wiiliamsburg VA has a huge following. Our two sons play for the Williamsburg Hornets their website is, www.williamsburghornets.com . Amazingly both of their teams are going to the playoffs this year having achieved records of 9-1. It is an amazing effort from coaches and parents alike to coach and run the teams as well as they do. We are blessed to have such a dedicated coaching staff and parent involvement.

I jokingly made a comment about these last few years to a parent, She responded try doing it for 12 years like we have !

you can check out the Williamsburg Hornets and all of the other youth football teams in the Peninsula area at the Peninsula Youth Football Website http://www.leaguelineup.com/standings.asp?cmenuid=7&url=pyfa

There are teams throughout the area including Gloucester, New Kent, West Point, York County, Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson and Williamsburg/ James City County

Wow, what a busy weekend! — GAME NOTES — what a mud-pit on Saturday. I’m thrilled for several reasons. The weather was horrid, but we played tough. The opponent was ruthless, but we hit harder. The score was against us, but we came back. The entire flow of the game wasn’t going our way, but we turned it around. The kids were frozen & wet on the sidelines, but they all cheered their team mates on. The crowd was amazing in their positive support … I could hardly hear the cadence on the field over the cheers … THANKS A TON!

— WYFCL Night at William & Mary Stadium — a huge hit again this year. Tons of folks around prior to the game, but most people I saw were in the “JUMBO-TRON” endzone having fun, watching the game, and supporting our GOLD & GREEN Midgets teams who did an outstanding job running plays and hustling.

— PLAYOFFS — SATURDAY NOVEMBER 15th vs Yorktown Patriots (9 – 1); the game will be played at Page Middle School in Gloucester … that’s Page Middle School in Gloucester. Kick-Off time is 11am, but be at Page Middle School in Gloucester by 10am for roll-call and warm ups.

Great Wolf Lodge, Williamsburg, VA October Specials

Posted on October 17, 2008 by mrwilliamsburg

We normally don’t spend the night at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg Virginia. Theri prices are a bit steep for our pocketbook. Here is a special they are running for the rest of October 2008 that actually is quite reasonable. Rates start at $189 a night for a family of four. If you consider that it includes for admissions to the indoor waterpark, it’s really quite reasonable. If you are like us the kids are getting kind of bored right now. It’s a nice diversion to work off their excess energy.

William and Mary Tribe Football Victorious at NH

Posted on October 11, 2008 by mrwilliamsburg

William and Mary Tribe Football clinched a 38-34 victory at No. 4 New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon in Durham, N.H. The win marked W&M’s sixth consecutive victory in the series and stands as the highest-ranked team the College has defeated since knocking off then-top-ranked New Hampshire, 42-10, in 2005.

As a team, W&M (3-2, 1-1) registered 495 yards of total offense, including 358 in the second half. Additionally, the Tribe converted on 9-of-13 third downs (8-of-10 in the second half) and was successful on its only fourth down try.

Trailing 34-31 with 4:34 remaining, the Tribe began its game-winning drive on its own 28 yard line. Phillips was intercepted on a third-and-long early in the drive, but W&M maintained possession when UNH was flagged for roughing the passer. Phillips then converted a pair of third-and-longs with completions to Grimes (10 yards) and Mack (13 yards) around midfield to keep the drive alive. Another 13-yard completion from Phillips to Mack put W&M inside the red zone, and the senior all-conference quarterback connected with McAulay from 17 yards out on the next play to put the Tribe ahead, 38-34, with 22 seconds left.

The Wildcats (4-1, 1-1) of New Hampshire registered 296 yards of total offense in the first half, tallying 128 yards on the ground and 168 yards through the air.

An Occasion For The Arts 2008 Williamsburg VA

Posted on October 6, 2008 by mrwilliamsburg

The 40th Annual 2008 Occasion for the Arts has successfully closed. Created to spotlight the visual and performing arts in the greater Williamsburg VA area and to provide a venue for artists and art lovers to meet. Additionally, The Williamsburg Occasion for The Arts promotes the expansion of arts in the community, provide grants to area schools, and scholarships to area art students pursuing higher education in the arts.

A beautiful day , a huge crowd and an eclectic band of talented artists combined to make this year’s Occasion one of the best yet according to the staff.

Throngs of people clog Duke of Gloucester Street. Art enthusiasts go from tent to tent, making small talk and appreciating the unique works on display.

The exhibitors who’ve traveled here for An Occasion for the Arts are getting lots of company under their portable tents. And it’s not just people trying to escape today’s hot sun.

Artists who come to Williamsburg for An Occasion say they’re showing, and selling art to a knowledgeable, enthusiastic crowd.

Artists travel from all over the East Coast, and as far away as California, for the show. Many of the visiting artists compliment the organizers for running such an organized, artist-focused show.

So many musical acts that it was hard to choose who you would listen to on the multiple stages. Our favorite Poisoned Dwarf !

Three members of Poisoned Dwarf are alumni of the Colonial Williamsburg’s Fifes and Drums. One of them, Lance Pedigo, is currently the corps’ drum major. Another member of the band is a classically trained musician while yet another has roots in the Akron, Ohio, punk rock scene. All of them currently work for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Started in 2001 With Eric Hunter playing banjo, guitar; Wayne Hill, fiddle, guitar; Lance Pedigo, bohdran, djembe, triangle, slappy things, shakey things and percussion; Stewart Pittman, whistle, smallpipes, low whistle, bones, shaker; Thomas DeRose, flute, whistle, button accordion.

With a style that is mainly traditional music of Ireland, with music of Scotland, Cape Breton and Brittany mixed in. The result is energetically arranged music that is fun to listen to and entertaining to play. Check out their website for future performance www.poisoneddwarf.com
