McIntire Park

McIntire Park is one of the most popular parks in the City. Located off of U.S. Route 250 Bypass, it features rolling land with magnificent views of the mountains to the east, a heavily wooded area with steep and varied topography and winding streams. There is a major community focus on the lighted softball fields, baseball field, and the three shelters which are used extensively from spring to fall.

The east side of the park is home the Charlottesville Skate Park and Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the south end, and the Botanical Garden of the Piedmont on the north end. A variety of paved and nature trails traverse the property, and the trail network continues to expand. Parking is available in West McIntire Park and can be accessed over the pedestrian bridge across the railroad, and parking is also available by the CARS rescue squad on McIntire Road, south of 250.
