This park is pretty great. More of an adult feel since there is not a major play structure as with the other park. Instead they have these unique climbing structure that is of epic proportions! I honestly cannot see how it is safe for smaller children, but speaking from an adult perspective (and personal experience) the structure is a lot of fun to climb on! There is also beautiful tree islands surrounding the main portion of the park. Those islands have benches tucked away in them making them nice little spots to sit and listen to the birds. We heard a few Morning Doves and a few other birds while there ourselves. Would also be a great place to grill dinner and relax. I definitely recommend checking this one out!
I’d love to climb that rope structure that is displayed. It looks fun. I’m just a big kid.
I ended up stumbling across this park this summer and set up my hammock and read almost the entire day. It was lovely! Just another wonderful spot around Blacksburg I have grown to love.
