Gypsy Hill Park — Attraction in Staunton

We came to Staunton in May of 2015 and were thrilled with this park. It isn't lacking in anything. As soon as one enters the main gates with charming metalwork they're greeted by a stream that meanders across the park and helps to feed a lovely gated pond. The pond houses several ducks, geese, swans, as well as Koi fish. One can purchase handfuls of feed for children to enjoy feeding the fauna.

Also, a glorious old bandstand holds various events such as Jazz in the Park for passers-by and folks who choose to sit and enjoy.

In the summer months, there is a terrific outdoor swimming pool. One pays a nominal fee for entry daily, or seasonal passes also may be purchased.

A quaint open-air train can be ridden during posted hours through the park. In the summer a marvelous outdoor pool is available. There is an exercise area with outdoor designed workout equipment. An oval-shaped paved path is present for both parking and exercising by riding bikes, jogging, and walking. Towards the far outer edge of the park is another large open pond.

At Christmas time various churches, businesses, agencies, clubs, and families contribute by sharing their light displays throughout the park. It is beautiful and festive.

Other events are held throughout the year, such as art shows, and community meetings. There are activities for all ages. Among the other facilities are tennis courts, skateboard and/or bicycle half pipes, an outdoor basketball court, and an 18-hole golf course. One is sure to be pleased whether ambling along the tree-lined walkways, exercising, using another wonderful part of the park's many offerings, or resting in the shade on a...

Best park in the area. Huge. Different areas for different events. From swimming pool to a few playgrounds, the toddler/young age playground also dedicates to handicap which i think is wonderful alot of parks don't have the eqipment. Theres outdoor work out equipment, baseball field and the duck/pond area. Room for cyclist strollers. Pet friendly. Theres Places for picnics. Always very clean. Trashcans everywhere! Safe enviorment. Relaxing as well as plenty of parking Great for the local pokemon community too. Pokemon go stops galore! I do believe there are other areas we didnt visit. Like a skatepark and basketball courts it really is the best park. Feeding the ducks is always my favorite. Its never really too crowded even when baseball games/pool events are active. Theres still plenty of parking!! Convient location. Gas stations near by for emergency anythings. Its walkong distance from the park. Just really love spending family time at this...

There's a swimming pool that's really nice, even if overcrowded at times. Several different playgrounds scattered across the park. There's a pond where you can take your kids to feed the ducks. On the other side of the park there is a place where you can take your dog and let them roam freely off their leash (as long as your dog gets along with others). There's also a skatepark here. There are live music performances here and they also show movies. The city of Staunton also has a fireworks show here for the 4th of July as well as a Christmas parade. During winter they put out a lot of Christmas decorations and you can drive through here at night with your kids and have a nice, inexpensive way to celebrate the holiday. There are also lots of Poke-Stops for all you Pokémon Go players. Have fun. Please pick up droppings after your dog and please don't...
