Biscuit Run State Park is a planned 1,200-acre Virginia State Park in Albemarle County's Neighborhood 5 designated growth area.
The land for the park was once intended for the large Biscuit Run development as well as a 400-acre County Park, but was purchased by the Commonwealth in January 2010.
Master Planning
The Biscuit Run State Park Master Plan Advisory Committee is meeting to develop the park’s master plan, including an inventory of natural and cultural resources. A public meeting will be held on June 6, 2011 at the Albemarle County Office Building to discuss the group's recommendations to date. [1] The goal is to have a master plan in place by the end of 2011. [1]
