Mount Trashmore


So the sun did come out and I couldn't stay in any longer so I decided to head to Mt. Trashmore for a walk in the sunshine. I think this is one of the best places to take the family for some fresh air. Dogs are welcomed too. I'm sure most local people are familiar with this park that was created out of solid waste and clean soil in the 1970s. It's a great example of what can be done with reusable waste. The park is 165 acres, 60 feet high and 800 feet high. It includes 15 picnic areas, a basketball court, 4 volleyball courts, playground areas and multiple walking trails. There's the perimeter trail around the park, a mountain trail and a lake trail. Fishing is even permitted at the lake. The children's playground is huge and looks like a lot of fun. There's a skate park for the bigger kids where professional skateboard riders like Tony Hawk have appeared. The park is located at 310 Edwin Way in Virginia Beach.
