Activity Overview

Chimborazo Park is an urban park in the heart of Richmond, Virginia. It is a part of Richmond National Battlefield Park, which includes over 30 historic sites from the Civil War located throughout the city. The most famous landmark within the park is Chimborazo Hospital, which was used to treat Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Today, the hospital is used as the National Park's visitor center and features several fascinating historical exhibits. Other park attractions include a playground, impressive statues, and a dog park.
