The trains are periodically audible through the greenery but are hard to see. Nonetheless, the park has some nice vistas and handy facilities, and it is free.

During our hike, we spotted quite a few deer walking past us (in close proximity), so that was exciting. The trails weren't difficult, but be prepared to walk up some sketchy spots if it's wet out. Probably the coolest view was seeing the old train tracks and river from afar! I highly encourage anyone to visit this park if you're in the area.

The only caution is the drive to the park can be a little sketch with areas where some store their abandoned/less used items... let's say go in the day - there is a ramp access to get your canoes in the water - park for kiddies and peaceful scenery.

A walking path goes past a number of rose bushes and there are a few benches. There is also a great view of the James River valley from here. The caption reads, "Mr. Elder's Rose Garden. Lawrence Lloyd Elder (1896-1964) was a valued employee of the City of Lynchburg for over 34 years. His special domain was gardening and his responsibility the greenhouses in Miller Park where the city's flowers were raised for use in the parks. Later he was assigned the care of nearby municipal properties, including Monument Terrace, the Court House, the Post office and the roses in the Confederate Cemetery. In the adjoining remote area he also tended his personal garden of roses, which brought much pleasure to the many city employees in the area. In 1986, twenty-two years after Mir. Elder's death, the Blue Ridge Rose Society, in cooperation with the City of Lynchburg, undertook the revitalization of the garden as a Bicentennial Project. The Garden now serves as a depository of old Lynchburg Roses, all of which are known to have been grown and loved by the people of Lynchburg during its 200 year history."

This 14,000 square foot complex opened in 2008 on land donated by the city. It's not a great neighborhood in terms of smooth roads or potholes though it's near what I would call the "loft" district surrounded by more expensive condos and fancy restaurants. There is plenty of parking. The park has flat bars, quarter pipes, a concrete platform with ledge and a 8' deep concrete bowl. It is surrounded by 8 foot wrought iron fencing and a bunch of benches inside. The place is covered with graffiti but I think it adds to the charm. Bring your skateboard, BMX bike or scooter and do whatever it is that kids do here. Tip: Please wear a helmet for safety, mkay? [Review 15091 overall, 593 of 2021, number 1307 in Virginia.]
