October 14 (Wednesday) Larus Park - RVA (D/4) Change in hike leaders
Tim Gilbert (304-8841) and Ann Lankey (338-1771). While owned by the city since 1978, Lewis G. Larus Park was not formally developed until 2006. Larus park is 106 acres of wooded solitude surrounded by urban hustle and bustle with about 5 miles of trails. It’s bounded by Huguenot Road, Chippenham Parkway and a regional shopping center yet manages to remain virtually unknown to most Richmonders. It really is the Richmond city park system’s hidden gem. We will meet in the back of the parking lot away from the Martin's Food Store entrance in the Stony Point Shopping Center, on Huguenot Road near its intersection with Stony Point Road and hike about 4.5 miles in Larus Park with an optional lunch in one of the nearby Bon Air restaurants. Meet at 9:50 am.
