Glade Hill, Virginia
Located in Franklin County
Gladehill, Virginia Franklin County residents have the good fortune of having several parks located in the county. Franklin County Recreation Park located southeast of Rocky Mount on Sontag Road offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities. Waid Recreation Area, located west of Rocky Mount, just off Six Mile Post Road, is a showcase park, and continued development at the park will only create better facilities there. Gilly?s Park located within the Town of Rocky Mount corporate limits offers fishing and passive recreation to our residents.
Two additional parks are in the planning and developmental stages at this point. First, there is a 10-acre tract of land on Rt. 616 that will be developed into a community park. Passive recreation and a picnic shelter are two possibilities for this park. Secondly, Franklin County is just beginning the process of development of a 37-acre tract of land that will allow residents of Franklin County an opportunity to use Smith Mountain Lake. The tract is a peninsula located near Winding Waters. Swimming, boating, fishing and other water recreation are possible at this future park.
There are also lots of area for relaxation and passive recreation. Also located at this park are the business offices of Franklin County Parks and Recreation.
