Pen Park is Charlottesville's largest city park at 280 acres, located off East Rio Road on Pen Park Road. The land has retained its name for over 200 years, and the City of Charlottesville acquired the final parcels by 1979 to create what locals call the 'gem' of the city park system. The park's name is so significant that Park Street in Charlottesville takes its name from this historic green space. With frontage along the Rivanna River and diverse recreational facilities, Pen Park serves as a central gathering place for outdoor recreation, family activities, and community events across the region.
“Great city course with beautiful natural surroundings. The pro shop staff are helpful and the course is well-maintained year-round. Perfect for a quick 18 after work.”
“I'm a beginner golfer and Meadowcreek has been perfect for learning. The staff are patient and helpful, and I love that it's part of such a nice park with trails and other amenities.”
“Solid municipal course with good variety in holes. The location in Pen Park is excellent - you can golf and then enjoy the trails. Good value for Charlottesville golfers.”
