We were excited to open Mountain Track Park, the newest facility in the Orange County park system, on Tuesday, September 23. Following opening remarks from District One Supervisor and Board Chairman R. Mark Johnson and District 5 Supervisor J. Bryan Nicol, the snap of oversized scissors through orange ribbon made it official. The park has already enjoyed consistent use, with planned expansions ahead. Parks & Recreation Opens Mountain Track Park By: Orange County Communications Department Mountain Track Park is located at 17167 Mountain Track Road, Orange, VA 22960, and offers ¾ of a mile of hiking trails; a challenging, wooded, 18-hole disc golf course; a rentable picnic shelter (soon to be installed); a playgound; and greenspace. The property’s uneven terrain and scenic appeal helped naturally guide its use towards outdoor, mostly-passive recreation. Despite this, staff have already taken steps to incorporate some programming elements into the park, such as the geocache hidden along one of the park’s trails. We look forward to expanding activity and offerings at this new park in the coming years!
