History
Heritage Park was opened in 1976 as part of the Heritage High School project. For years the park remained undeveloped except for a few walking trails. A partnership was formed in 1996 with the Central Virginia Mountain Bike Club (now GLOC—Greater Lynchburg Off-Road Cyclists) and extensive mountain bike trails were constructed. Because of the construction of several new mountain biking facilities in the region, GLOC’s focus has shifted to the bike trails at Peaks View Park, and the City is now reviewing a partnership with a local Disc Golf Club to explore the feasibility of constructing a disc golf course.
