World-renowned Mount Trashmore Park encompasses 165 acres and is comprised of two man-made mountains, two lakes, two playgrounds, a skate park and vert ramp, and multi-use paths. The main mountain, Mount Trashmore, now 60 feet in height and 800 feet long, was created by compacting layers of solid waste and clean soil. Recognized for its environmental feat, this former landfill features a water-wise garden that boasts xeriscaping which requires minimal water. The park also features a smaller mountain, Encore Hill, and two lakes. Lake Windsor (located along South Blvd.) is brackish water fed by Thalia Creek. Lake Trashmore (located along Edwin Drive) is freshwater and hosts various species of fish. Fishing is permitted from land only and requires a Virginia freshwater fishing​ license​. Anglers must adhere to all State regulations regarding creel and size limits. No boats, swimming or wading is allowed in the lakes. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Kayaks are permitted at Lake Windsor.​ Amenities: - Three Large Picnic Shelters with Charcoal Grills - Two Medium Picnic Shelters with Charcoal Grills - Six Mini Picnic Shelters with Charcoal Grills - Two Volleyball Courts - Horseshoe Pits - Playgrounds - Skate Park - Shared-Use Path - Vending Machines - Public Restrooms - Concessions (seasonal) - Outdoor Fitness Stations​ - Boardwalk Kids Cove Playground: The Kids Cove Playground at Mount Trashmore Park opened in December 2010.
