miner's park

Virginia City is a tourist trap where almost everything costs something. In order to lower our costs & to save time for sightseeing, we planned to have a picnic lunch & were delighted with this location. The park is 1 of the few green spots in town. The local swimming pool was adjacent & the place was filled with children running around & families having fun. There were a number of picnic tables with benches and lots of trees to provide shade. We had no trouble finding street parking. It was a pleasant respite. We didn't see any public bathrooms at the park, but knew they were available at the Welcome Center only a couple blocks away.
