At 1,190 acres in size, Biscuit Run Park (BRP) is the largest County Park in Albemarle County. BRP contains extensive natural areas, natural heritage resources, and scenic landscapes that are generally uncommon so close to Charlottesville and Albemarle County's Development Area. It's location between Interstate 64, Avon Street, and Old Lynchburg Road creates convenient, accessible opportunities for outdoor recreation and contact with nature. 

The park is the first of its kind in Albemarle’s development area. A minimum of 80% of the park will remain forested, sensitive natural heritage resources will be protected, and management concerns like invasive species will be addressed.
