Freedom Park
5535 Centerville Road
Williamsburg, VA
23188
(757) 259-5360
Freedom Park has a rich historical background dating back to the 1650's. This park is the site of an 18th-century graveyard, the Revolutionary War Battle of Spencer’s Ordinary (1781), a 17th Century domicile that is revealing much archaeological research of the early colonial period (1680-1730) ). The park also includes the Williamsburg Botanical "Ellipse Garden", featuring more than 800 species of Virginia Vegetation.
The Division continues to work diligently to preserve one of the nation's earliest Free Black Settlements in America, which include three historically accurate recreated cabins that are located in a meadow and are furnished with items authentic to the period (1803-1850).
This 600-acre forested retreat also features 1.8 miles of hiking trails and more than 15 miles of mountain bike trails winding through historical sites, forests and along creeks, open meadows, and parking. Picnic tables are also available.

User Compliment:
“Regarding Freedom Park, I really love the Mountain bike trails (A & B) there. Excellent trails with great technical challenges and enough thrill to get my heart beating. I have ridden a lot of trails all over the world (most recently in Chiang Rai, Thailand and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) and the ones at Freedom Park are EXCELLENT. THANKS!” Keith Stewart
