Review & FAQ:

Mount Trashmore Park totals approximately 165 acres of Virginia Beach and is made up of multi-use paths, a vert ramp and skate park, two playgrounds, two lakes, and two man-made mountains. This world-renowned park is noted for its environmental feat of transforming a former landfill into a beautiful water-wise garden boasting xeriscaping. Mount Trashmore is the larger mountain at 60 feet high and the smaller mountain in the park is called Encore Hill. Fishing at the lakes is allowed from land, but requires a fishing license. Wading, swimming, and boats, however, are not permitted on either Lake Trashmore or Lake Windsor.
