Castlewood Park
Castlewood Park is a beautiful playground area on Lunsford Point with swingsets, slides, see-saws, picnic tables, benches and wonderful water views of Monroe Bay and the Potomac River. Situated near the entrance to the Colonial Beach Yacht Club, there's also parking available for trucks towing boats and easy access to the town's boat ramp.
In July of 2020, Town Council voted to dismantle it. and relocate the equipment to another one of the parks in town. Luckily that did not happen and the facility is still operational at its original location.
The park had to be shut down briefly in 2009 because of overcrowding. It's a popular place! in fact, parties of over 20 people need to make arrangements with the Town of Colonial Beach beforehand. Permit parking was implemented, and now cars pay at least $5 and trucks towing boat trailers pay about $30. There's a trolley stop here, so that's another option for reaching this fun place. There is also a restroom and bicycle racks so you can park your bike. And, of course, you can always come in on a golf cart.
