mid-lothian mines park印象

A bit of history captured in this well preserved park. This was the first coal mine in the U. S. Amazing story of coal being mined and sent to port of Richmond. This park is in a very interesting area of development. Clean and safe for families with great eating in the local area.

This park is worth the visit. It is one of the newer Midlothian, Chesterfield local parks. Nice walk around the lake plus they have a trail to the old coal mines of Midlothian. It's a local, walk your dog kind of park so if you are in the area, it's worth the visit. Lots or ducks and geese as usually for any waterway in the area.

This nice little park has two sides. One side has walking paths around the lake with a small stage and the mining "headstock". Every now and then there will be free festivals and other activities going on which are very family friendly.The wooded side of the park has a variety of walking/running/biking trails that lead around what used to be the actual mining buildings from long ago. There are all kinds of historical markers that explain the history of the mines and the town that grew up around it as you walk the trails.

Historical and green, pleasant and serene! Ideal for a walk or a jog. Especially good to bring kids along as there are geese and ducks in the lake for them to feed, interact with.

This is a nice small local park. There is a parking area on either side of the road that divides the park. On the East side there is a forested area with a trail leading end to end with ruins from the old coal mine.The west side of the park has a walkway around the pond.

We liked everything: free parking, long walking, historical boards, old mines, lakes, and nature! Great for exploring for families with kids and very near to our home!

The County has done a great job with this simple park. Interesting history of the mining in Midlothian (first coal mining in the US!) and great place to walk.

Certain dedicated individuals have done a good job in highlighting and preserving the mining history of Midlothian, as through the park. The tragedy is that the whole story is not told: that the majority of miners killed in all the explosions and floodings were African American slaves, that the mine owners insured their slaves and when they were killed the owners actually made money; and that where American Family Fitness now sits there was a huge coal sorting shed where (mostly African American) children sat on the ground sorting coal for twelve hours a day. Where does Midlothian not acknowledge this part of their history?

Hubby, me and daughter (26) went to the C0s challage today. It was a wild goose chance. Love the trails and hills. Will go back to scout the remaining trails and learn more abou the park next weekend. Had potties too.

The park is not very large and is decided into two components on different sides of the street. I only visited the pond side of the park on my visit. The park was very clean and well maintained, with a replica of a mine hoist near the entrance, a small bandstand and a walking trail around the pond. The walking path had several small bridges along the path and benches for resting.
