Cumberland Bowl Park in Jonesville, Virginia, is a wonderful hidden gem and a testament to the community's commitment to providing a beautiful and peaceful space for its residents. The park gets its name from its unique setting—it's nestled in a natural, bowl-shaped depression in the landscape, creating a serene and secluded feel. The park offers something for everyone. There are well-maintained walking paths that are perfect for a quiet stroll or a morning jog. Numerous pavilions and picnic areas are scattered throughout, making it an ideal location for family reunions, birthday parties, or a simple afternoon picnic. The park is home to a Veterans Memorial Wall, a touching and important tribute to the service members from the area, which is a must-see for anyone visiting. During the Christmas season, the park comes alive with a spectacular light display, transforming it into a winter wonderland. It's clear that the local community takes great pride in this space. Honorable Mention: The Edith Yeary Memorial Garden Just across from the park's main entrance is the Edith Yeary Memorial Garden, a beautiful and lovingly maintained space that deserves a special mention. This small, tranquil garden is a perfect place for quiet reflection. It features a lovely fountain, carefully tended flowers, and benches where you can sit and enjoy the peace and beauty of the surroundings. It's a small but powerful reminder of the deep community roots in Jonesville and the dedication to honoring its history and its people. The garden is a perfect complement to the larger park and adds to the overall peaceful and welcoming atmosphere...
Read morePleasant, friendly park! Amazing, unique topography! Family friendly. Perfect for individuals whom want to visit alone. This was my second visit. Now that I have discovered the park, I always try to visit when I'm vacationing in the area. "Bowl" is a perfect description and appropriate name, the park actually has a large bowl/valley in the center, with circular drive around the bowl. Very unique! Inside the bowl/valley is an amphitheater, baseball field and basketball court. Along the circular drive you can find various facilities and buildings, as well picnic shelters and playground. The circular drive is also a great place to walk! The drive is flat and paved, making perfect walking conditions. The Jonesville Police Department office is located inside the park, making the park, to my knowledge, very safe. On my two visits, the park was quiet and pleasant. My second visit, my partner and I enjoyed lunch at one of the picnic shelters. Although not crowded during my visits, I would expect larger crowds on weekends and holidays. Park is located in Jonesville, a few blocks off hwy. 58. The park is not visible from the highway, many may not realize it's location...
