Mount Trashmore Park
- Park
- Regional draw
- Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach transformed a former landfill into Mount Trashmore, a park whose broad hills are now part of the city's recreational landscape. Walking areas, lakes, and space for play make it a useful break from more structured visitor attractions.
Plan around the activities you want to use rather than expecting a single sightseeing route. Check city notices for current facilities and events, and bring sun protection for exposed sections of the park.
