Mount Trashmore Park is exactly what the name suggests: a former landfill reshaped into a large public park. The result is one of Virginia Beach's more distinctive civic landscapes, with grassy hills, lakes, walking paths, playgrounds, and views across the otherwise flat suburban city.
It is not a beach attraction, which is part of its usefulness. For families, runners, skaters, or anyone curious about urban reclamation, the park offers a different picture of Virginia Beach than the oceanfront strip and boardwalk. It is especially good around sunset or when you need open space away from the resort zone.
