Biscuit Run Park opening set for Dec. 14; county asks state for first park funding
Summary
Albemarle County plans to open phase 1 of Biscuit Run Park on Dec. 14 and is requesting an initial state funding partnership for further park development; the county has invested $14,000,000 to date in entrance and site work.
Albemarle County told its legislative delegation it will celebrate the opening of Phase 1 of Biscuit Run Park on Dec. 14 and is asking the General Assembly to consider a first-time state funding partnership to support further park development. Emily Kilroy, the county’s director of economic development, described the park as a locally leased but regionally significant amenity and said the county has invested $14,000,000 so far in entrance and initial site work.
Kilroy said the full buildout includes an ADA‑accessible perimeter trail and connections to a planned Monacan Indian Nation Tribute Park and nearby Southwood redevelopment. Supervisors and delegates discussed tapping existing state park or ADA funding streams and the county's pursuit of other state and federal grant opportunities to advance additional phases.
