On the western edge of the city, Franklin Park offers a 5.5-mile walking and horseback riding trail. The park also has a swimming pool, sports facilities, playground and pond where visitors can enjoy catch-and-release fishing.

Travel north 13 miles to enjoy the excellent hiking trails at Sweet Run State Park. Loudoun County’s first state park (and the newest in Virginia) was opened in October 2023. It is also a great place for horseback riding, bird watching, outdoor recreation for children, and other outdoor activities.

Fireman’s Field Stadium

Head to Fireman’s Field for baseball games when the Purcellville Cannons are in town. The 13-acre “Field of Dreams” is home to the Valley League baseball team. Other teams, from little league to college level, also play here.

Roller skating

Next to the field is one of the best children’s activities in Purcellville, especially on rainy days. The historic Busch Tabernacle is a hexagonal structure that was built to hold religious gatherings. Today, this building is a roller skating rink with a beautiful wooden floor. Visit during an open skate or rent the place to celebrate a birthday or other holiday.
