Nice city park although on the small side. Parking in two lots. There is a skate board area, some…read moresports courts, and a walking trail that goes over a creek in a few spots. The creek runs through the length of the park. It is noisy from cars near the road but as you head into the park southward you can get away from the noise. Sheltered picnic area in the middle of the park.

Yeahhh first to review this place!!…read more I have recently research the whole Virginia area for fireworks on forth of July...found out yowell park was having fireworks celebrations for the 4th so came here for some sparkling fun ....the park was nice and big... Lots of sculptures and a mini playground... The problem coming here on 4th of july was the massive croweds... I didn't know its was going to be this crowed... There's no places to even walk... You bound to bump into someone...don't get me started on the lines for the restrooms... horrible... about an hour wait... before the fireworks started I walked to the food stands to check out what they have to offer... Many items to choose from.. I got the vanilla soft serve for three bucks...large... It's was an ok soft serve... Had better... I know that fireworks are good and fun but the amount of people seriously makes my life feel like hell... I did however found the perfect spot to sit and relax my night away and still have an ok Fourth of July... The firework was about half an hour long... It wasn't extremely spectacular ... But at least there was actually fireworks on the forth of July ;)

They were idling in the vehicle for at least 30 minutes. Why can't they shut the engine off! They were not visibly working!!!! Ugh! The trail has been fixed up and one side has been recently paved. I hope to visit one day and have a quiet walk though. One mile around and back to the park. There is an extension up to Lake Pelham too - though it is closed for construction right now.

Best guess is someone or a group of people, screwed it for the rest of us. Could enjoy more without that view. Parks and Recreation is, supposed to be a little more relaxing. That being said good picnic tables. Also if you have little ones, they will like the playground area. It should get them plenty tired. Luray definitely cares about its citizens, and this park is stellar for a town of its size. Well done. If you're in the area, you can play sports or watch them.

Off to the right is a gravel road that runs along the river with a few pullouts. The first pullout is for a handicapped access picnic table. There is a larger picnic area off to left. Along the river for the first part you may smell cow poop as there is a farm on the other side of the river and the top side of the park. If you drive further back or hang out on the left side this shouldn't be a problem. If you are in the area or traveling through it is a good place to chill out for awhile.

There is a bathroom area as well and water fountains. We loved the trail and the creek the most. We spotted a snake, a lizard and some rabbits on our walk. It's a well taken care of spot I would recommend for some family fun or to get out of the house. We also saw a couple having a picnic and others walking dogs.

Great place with great views!…read more Pop "Woodstock Tower" into Google Maps, and it will take you to the right spot (Apple Maps only took me to the trailhead a distance away). This will put you near a little overlook off the dirt road or if you keep going, a small gravel parking lot. Be prepared to drive on dirt and gravel roads for over a mile to get here; you are going the right way! This end of the trail has a clearly marked sign saying it is the Woodstock Tower. From either of those parking lots it's only about ¼ mile walk to get to the tower. The path varies from rocky to flat dirt. Loads of hickory nuts line the path. You could also come from the other end of the trail, which is over a mile away in the other direction. The climb up is steep but manageable (I'd recommend being more careful descending!) with metal steps. Considering she's still standing 90 years after her construction, I'd say the tower is stable. Hats off to the Civilian Conservation Corps for building this lasting landmark! The views from the top are great and worth the short walk and short climb. I met a local man at the top who shoots a lot of videos from up there. He did warn that sometimes there are black bears in the area; I never saw one my whole time, but just keep alert. It was a little cold on the mid-October day we were there and the top of the mountain did mean lots of cross wind, so dress appropriately. Unless you're weird about heights (apologies to my wife; thanks for walking out to it with us, Baby), this is a worthwhile visit. Definitely recommend!

What a pleasant surprise! We drove up the mountain on Christmas Eve and simply enjoyed the views…read more Our goal of finding the tower wasn't easy being that my bf hadn't been up there since he was a kid. Nevertheless we found it :-) I was a bit apprehensive of climbing it at first but took baby steps lol. What a beautiful scenery once you reach the top. Great experience!

I'm so glad I have this place so close by! It's just 3 miles from my house!…read more Let me tell you about my first hiking trip here today. Wow. - I looked at the map before I started. It seemed to intertwine with other trails, very similar to the Bull Run Mountain in Broad Run. I was excited to get started. I chose the blue trail. - All was good and fine until about the first mile. (Kelly K. You are correct!) After that the greenery kinda invades your path and you feel like you are on more of a deer trail. That's o.k with me at times. I am a very alert and very aware hiker. I listen and follow my instincts. Doesn't mean I don't take dumb chances, just means I am aware I'm doing something dumb. lol. Like today! - I followed some baby deer for quite a while. They had no clue I was there. I hike like a Ninja! I do. lol... I am sooo quiet. That's how I see all the deer and bear but I know that can work against me sometimes too... Like today! (check my pics for the baby deer. They were 10 feet from me). - I got to a point in the trail where I had to mark my route... What Was well marked, was then... not marked at all for a couple of turns. I started to become a bit jumpy and with the wind blowing today, it masked the usual sounds of a quiet forest. I was unable to use my ninja skills to tell if there was wildlife close by...so I had my head on a swivel. At this point, I was at the abandoned little barn, Just up from the "thinning pine tree forest". Check pics. I took a path that came out in a sort of clearing that screamed wildlife! Deer everywhere. One jumped out in front of me with his white fluffy tail bouncing across the field and I STG I thought I was going to have a heart attack! OMG. No kidding. I had to stop and make sure I was breathing! That darn wind. I never heard him coming! Now, I'm in a spot that is very sketchy and that wind is not letting me pick up a sign of what's around me..... I was stopping every 15 steps to look and listen before I moved on. No. Kidding. It was just like that. I know. I guess I watch a lot of movies... .But as much as that hinders me it also makes me a better hiker! My ninja skills were at MAX! My heart was pumping dude. - After a while, I got back to where the path looked more traveled and I continued to see deer until I reached the car again. *I was not happy to hear a shotgun go off as I neared the end of the hike but I was, infact happy that I wore my bright orange top! Holy cow people! Stop shooting into the woods! Dang! - Well, that was my first time hiking here. Will I come back? You can bet your booties on it! That was pretty freaking awesome. :-)
