❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the opening hours and how do I get to the park?

The park is open every day from 7:30 a.m. until sunset, which varies by season. It is located at 310 Edwin Drive, Virginia Beach, and is easily accessible by car with parking available.

Do I have to pay admission to enter Mount Trashmore?

No, admission is **completely free** for all visitors, making it one of the city's best budget-friendly activities. Use of the facilities, such as the skate park and picnic areas, is also free of charge.

How much time do I need to see the whole park?

For a relaxed visit that includes walking the perimeter trail and climbing to the top, I recommend setting aside **1 to 2 hours**. If you plan to have a picnic or are traveling with children who will use the playgrounds, consider spending half a day.

Is it true that the park is built on top of garbage?

Yes, and that is its great story: it is a global example of turning a sanitary landfill into an award-winning recreational park. Beneath its green hills are compacted layers of solid waste and clean soil, a true feat of environmental engineering.

What is the best time to visit Mount Trashmore?

Sunset is the magical time to enjoy the views from the main hill. As for the best season, spring and fall offer ideal weather and the perfect wind for the most popular activity here: flying kites.

Is the park accessible for people using wheelchairs?

Absolutely, the park has paved paths around the lakes and hills, making wheelchair access easy. It also offers accessible restrooms and reserved parking spaces near the main entrances.

What other interesting places are nearby to visit?

You are just a few minutes' drive from the lively **Town Center** of Virginia Beach, full of shops and restaurants. If you are looking for the ocean, the famous boardwalk and the beach are about 15 to 20 minutes to the east.

What practical advice would you give me for my visit?

Bring a kite and a picnic blanket, as the large grassy fields are perfect for stretching out and relaxing. Check the city's calendar before you go, as they often host events and fairs on the grounds.
