Miller Park’s namesake is a community gathering spot
Miller Park, 2 miles from downtown Lynchburg, is a lively community made up of historic homes and a large namesake park that stretches 30 acres and includes playgrounds, sports fields, trails and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. “Miller Park has been around forever,” says Robert Dawson, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Dawson Ford Garbee and Co., who has been selling homes in Lynchburg for over four decades. “A lot of people gather at the park. They walk, they run, they host picnics. It’s a lot of fun.” The park, considered to be the first public park in Lynchburg, was named for Samuel Miller, who was born poor in the late 1700s, but grew up to become one of the South’s wealthiest businessmen ahead of the Civil War. “Miller Park is very popular,” says Brooke Bowie, who grew up in the area. “Everyone goes to this pool in the summer.” Bowie says Memorial Avenue is the area's main strip and the public library, E.C. Glass High School and a lot of restaurants are also nearby.
Parties at the Aviary
The Aviary at Miller Park, a Queen Anne-style building that was built in 1902, is popular for events including weddings, bridal showers and birthday parties. “I’ve been to several parties there,” says Dawson. Down the street from The Aviary is the Miller Center, which offers dance and fitness studios, a theatre, and Nature Zone, an environmental education center. The nearest golf course is Oakwood Country Club, which is 5 miles away.
Games and events at City Stadium
People spend their weekends at the City Stadium Complex and Lawn, whether it’s to watch a Lynchburg Hillcats Minor League Baseball game (sometimes with an encore of fireworks) or cheer on the E.C. Glass High School football team on a fall Friday night. The complex also hosts events like pride month and Lynchburg’s annual wine and music festival.
