Stopping overnight in Culpeper on a trip to Charlottesville, we stumbled upon this park. It was a…read morebeautiful day and lots of families were present, their children enjoying the playground equipment and water fountain cooling stations.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Don't sleep on this hidden gem during cherry blossom season! The rest of the botanical garden is well worth a visit, with a greenhouse, polished garden favorites, and wild woodland scenery. There are also children's gardens and a small playground, as well as many benches with different views to enjoy. One of my favorite spots is the fairy garden right outside the entrance, with all kinds of small-scale flowers. Admittedly, I've only been to Meadowlark during two seasons and have yet to witness fall and winter. I'm eager to go for the holiday lights, which I've heard great things about.
