Lovers of the outdoors in Chesapeake know that the place to enjoy the natural beauty of the area is the Western Branch Park and Sports Park. This hub of outdoor activity and fun attracts various teams, groups and families out to enjoy its many amenities. This 80-acre site is the home of an impressive variety of sports attractions that include multipurpose softball fields with lights, lighted tennis courts and basketball courts. If you feel like you would rather commune with nature than play a sport, enjoy the spectacle of thousands of wildflowers that adorn a winding nature trail that is perfect for walking and running.

A great show is something you can always count on, no matter what is happening on stage at the Willett Hall in Portsmouth. This is the entertainment venue that spotlights the efforts of Portsmouth Community Concerts, a professional organization that prides itself in bringing some of the best performances to the stage. The Willett seats approximately 1,980 people and guests are treated to an incredible array of concerts and events that include classical, big band, country, pop, blues and jazz performers.

It's always an engaging experience to get close to nature, but it's even more exciting when you see it from the unique perspective of a kayak. Chesapeake's Kayak Nature Tours guides you on an unforgettable trip through Kayak First Landing, the area's most popular State Park surf launch that leads into the Atlantic ocean. Kayak Nature Tours offers several different tour packages all designed to make it a highly memorable, one-of-a-kind experience.
