With access to great views of the city, arguably some of the best actually in terms of fast landscape, this park really does offer a whole lot. Theres exploration trails, lawns, and enough space to feel amongst people but still safe during these uncertain times. Theres definitely a spirit in the air in this park! You can probably catch it towards dusk. Id highly recommend this as a after dinner walk from millies, pose, or the tobacco company.
Chimborazo park is great! And it has a statue of liberty that is almost the exact same size as the statue of liberty if you take into account that on the spectrum of size going from like the whole entire universe down the the subatomic, almost everthing in the universe is relatively farther from the size of the statue of liberty than the statue of liberty at Chimborazo park.
Great park to walk your dog, get in some yoga stretching or just enjoying the panoramic view down into the ridges below. In season, birding can be good as well.
Whilst I was on holiday here, I did not realise how close my accommodation was to this surprisingly important piece of history regards to the American civil war. The park is fairly large and overlooks the valley with some perfect spots to get some great photos. I would recommend anyone who is planning on doing the history of the area to visit the park. Especially the hospital. Which sadly was closed when I arrived at the park.
Nice park to walking around. There’s couple benches around the corner so you can seat and enjoy the view of the city.
We love this park! There is lots of green space, both sunny and shaded. Plus theres a gazebo, an overlook and some sections of road where cars arent allowed that are perfect for small ones learning to bike.
Excellent views of the city. Lots of space to run, walk, bike, or hang in the lush grass
A great place for a good walk, nice over-look of the city and surrounding neighborhoods.
Relaxing spot and you can see over some of Richmond. Great view especially at night
The BEST park by far. Exact location. TONS of space. GREAT for wedding photos. GREAT for outside photos. GOOD BACKGROUND OF THE CITY!!! Love CHIMBO!!!
Fantastic park, intertwines with a greater network of the Richmond park system, enjoy lookouts at Jefferson Park, WRVA Radio Station Lookout, 23rd St Hill, Libby Hill Park, and Gillies Creek and the Capitol Trail beyond.
Nice open space. Great for families and dog owners alike. Beautiful homes around it.
Great Park! Gorgeous at night. Its too bad you cant go all the way to the top of the Statue of Liberty anymore. Oh well.
Brought back great childhood memories. Great park for walking
Not allowed in and closed NotEven for the scenic View of Our Beautiful StateCorona Precaution
Had a nice time and A nice walk around the park with my dog and man
Views were amazing had a nice picnic with my family and walked the perimeter where u could see sky view of Richmond, recommend going when the sun is setting so you can see the landscapes.
Its a nice chill park to go for a walk or to hang out. It is well maintained and located in a nice area. I have never encountered any issues in terms of finding parking.
Nice staircase challenge and beautiful views!
One of my favorite places to overlook Richmond
Beautiful space and view
Great little info center. Learned a lot about Confederate medical care. The views from the park of the James river valley were very expansive. Free admission. Great National Parks Service educational film.
Large spaces and dog friendly.
I just love the view around the park and the area all together. There is another park very close by that I would visit, the view is also breathtaking. I would recommend this place if you want to go somewhere romantic, or show family and friends from out of town how beautiful Richmond is.
Beautiful park, offers wonderful views and a great place to play pokemon go!
Large park with lots of gazebos and semi-hidden paths that take you up, down, and around. For older kids, this is a pretty cool park to explore because there are trails going down to other green spaces. For younger kids, there are no playgrounds (there are two nearby, but not in the park) and not much to do. Great for strolling around or walking the pets. Plenty of nice views from on high. After a good rain, bring your mud boots!
Beautiful view and friendly place for a stroll. Saw an eagle the last time there.
Nice quiet place!! Family oriented
Nice historic park that has a nice view of the city.
Its a well laid out, scenic simple park. They have a couple battle monuments and a couple of plaques commentating the civil war hospital there. Nice park, decent parking... Great place to relax and take in the area.
My favorite place to go and relax and meet my friends.
Lovely views of the city of Richmond VA. Ive come here a number of times just to take in the views. This was my first time coming with a 2 yr old lets say I wont be making that same mistake again. I didnt realize theres no fence! Love the views but wont be back until my kid turns 30yrs old.
Love Churchill and parks.
The park is lovely. Great overlook of the city. Nice place to walk or people watch
We went at night for a gallery light event. It was cold and the art wasnt good at all. The park may be better during the day.
What a place to wake up your Civil War history! Incredible pictures and artifacts have been collected. We are very glad to have seen the place in which the Chimborazo hospital lay to help those who were wounded in the terrible war. Youll leave there with heart- felt admiration for the soldiers, doctors, nurses, and orderlies who served. Many homes in Richmond itself were opened up to the wounded.
Very quiet, peaceful, clean. Visited the museum and enjoyed it very much. Although small, there a lot of information and interesting civil war hospital and medical artifacts. Worth a visit!
The vegan festival was great here. Its a nice park, I would have visited sooner if I had known about it. It looks like a nice place to do cardio or just absorb the overlook view.
I love this park and the history of it. Love the view but I wish the city would care for it more. It could use some TLC.
If you like sunset and the smell of weed, This park is for you!
Great workout spot and a great spot to chill
Really helpful staff. Good visit.
The building is not the original hospital. It houses the museum exhibits. Make sure you watch the 20ish minute long movie! After you are done inside, take a walk and enjoy the view.
Beautiful park in the city, a great place to walk and people watch.
The view is absolutely stunning. I come here to clear my head and decompress at nights when the lights come on.
Perfect hidden park in rva. Pretty relaxed not too crowded or busy and a great dog park for the furry friends. Come enjoy church Hill outside of Libby hill honestly its over done at this point.
I love this place but I cant see anyone putting enough attention to keep it in better shape., For example more signs about the history or something different that how sad looks now
Large scenic park over looking Richmond. Visited at night for a 1708 Gallery outdoor light event.
Quiet Park with great scenery
Very peaceful and relaxing
I love the Overlook of the Fulton Bottom and that part of the City!
It could get an easy 4th and 5th stars if they would concentrate on the road. Perhaps the nearby residents like it that way but the park should serve all patrons. The city of Richmond should rethink the sunset curfews. They make the parks friendly only to the nearby residents. You see them using the park at all hours.
Awesome view of the City of Richmond... picnic area biking & running path.. Seating for quiet times & reading. Beautiful at night!
1st time here. Went for vegan fest. This park is beautiful and has the most amazing view overseeing the city and river!
It is a good place to go with your family and have fun
Its getting gentrified. Love that they still have the dog park
Nice place .
Second favorite park in the Church Hill area. Best one if its raining cuz theres a gazebo thing you can sit under if its raining.
Im local and walk my dog here all the time, warning if you are walking your dog watch out for discarded food on the ground. Otherwise a nice park with scenic views.
Another great place to visit... Very informative staff, as well.
Beautiful outdoor exercise!
Great museum with multiple medical instruments and insight into how the South utilized homesteads and outbuildings during the Civil War.
My family and I have been coming here for years and the view is AMAZING they overall aura of the park is very serene we adore it here. Would recommend to anyone!!
It was a great place for the Richmond Dog Festival and nice area
We had worked there
You cant drive thru the park anymore
Great park for festivals, dog fun and short walks.
If you like Civil War history, this is the place. The Medical Museum is fascinating and full of interesting medical implements. Photographs help you see the park as an open air tent hospital. The view from this park is sweet. A great place for a walk, bike ride, jog or drive.
A moving visit, completely worth the visit. I love the National Park Service. This is just another jewel in their crown. Quick stop that doesnt disappoint. Make sure you stay for the film.
I grew up in the area has always been a nice place to go
So much fun. Very cool
Great nighttime view of the Richmond skyline.
My daughter loved it she learned alot about the past. And tge history of Richmond
Awesome view of Richmond. In the best of Church Hill
Great place to enjoy and festival and it jas a great view. The trees shade nicely from summer heat
My kids enjoy riding their bikes there
Relaxing day in the shade
Quiet and relaxing. Beautiful scenic views.
Very Peaceful
Love coming here for the kids safety fair by VCU.
Very well maintained grounds. Abundant Historical markers/tablets. Very, very, very informed and knowledgeable Rangers. Museum is nice and quaint. Perfect place to take the Sunday drive to.
Incredible place to visit, visitor center is informative. The grounds are hallowed and full of history and tragedy. Well worth a trip
Its okay. The views are not spectacular, but its less trafficked than Libby Hill so might be worth it to avoid bumping into anyone. Plenty of open green space to let the kids, dogs or ferret run around.
Peaceful, Secured public park for family outings
Attended the Dog Fair alot of fun
Having seen the strongly positive reviews this park gets, I wonder what sort of dog parks those owners have had to tolerate! This is indeed a dog park, but it offers very little. Its small and theres nary a blade of grass surviving. Its on a very sloped lot and since its all dirt, I can only imagine the mud bath it must be after a rain storm. The only amenity it offers is one shaded picnic bench and a hose. Its quite difficult to find and there are only a few parking spots. I noticed many dogs being walked on the trail system and by-passing the dog park - I can see why. We just needed to run our mutt enough to put him in the car for the next leg of our trip, so the park worked for our purposes, but thats all I can say for it. Sorry, Richmond, hope you can get your officials to give you a bigger, better park some day.
