Pleasant Grove Park: A Natural Experience

Come join us and experience nature first hand at Fluvanna County’s Pleasant Grove Park. With the Rivanna River and adjacent forests and fields, we have every type of Piedmont Virginia habitat represented in the Park.

Over 20 miles of trails run through these habitats which contain a diverse population of wildflowers, animals and birds. Our river habitat is host to river otters, eagles and ducks while in our untended grassy fields you will see many songbirds, hawks, and rabbits. Walk our tree identification trail and learn the names of our many native Virginia trees.

Be the first to spot a covey of quail as they return to our newly re-naturalized areas. Come see our work in progress as we build a new bluebird nesting trail and put in our new Pollinator Garden. Visit the Park each season of the year to have a rich natural experience unparalleled in Central Virginia.
