Welcome to Staunton's beautiful Betsy Bell Park, an urban wilderness that was first donated to the city in 1941 by it's previous owner Charles Catlett who wished that the park remain in it's natural state and that "The City of Staunton shall as far as is reasonably practicable and in its considered opinion advisable, and for the common benefit of its citizens and inhabitants, keep and maintain the crest of the mountain as a perpetual memorial..." In 1995 the park was expanded by 20 acres. Today this park boasts picnic tables, hiking trails, and an observation platform that sits nearly 2000 feet above sea level and boasts marvelous views of the Shenandoah Valley. Come on out and explore.
