Summary

Biscuit Run Park welcomed more than 128,000 visitors in its first full year, and Albemarle County said it is continuing work on trail expansion, athletic fields, a downhill bike park and a pedestrian bridge to improve west-side access.

Unidentified Speaker 9, a parks representative, said Biscuit Run Park — the county’s largest at 1,200 acres — completed its first full year open to the public and has welcomed more than 128,000 visitors since opening in December 2024.

The speaker described continuing work to bring additional amenities online, including expanded trail networks, athletic fields, a future downhill bike park and a pedestrian bridge that will allow public access from the park’s west side. The county also said it is planning two urban pocket parks (Charlotte Humphreys Park and Hillsdale Park) and is using community meetings to shape early design concepts.

Officials also cited environmental work at Biscuit Run, including about one mile of stream restoration the county said will improve water quality and stabilize stream banks.
