Vic Thomas Park
Vic Thomas Park lies on the Roanoke River Greenway and features an array of art billowing out from the park’s wild grasses and flowers. It’s also one of the only parks with exercise equipment located up and down the loop of the Roanoke River greenway as it leads into Wasena Park. In 2022, a beginner-friendly bicycle skills loop was added to the park. Vic Thomas Park is also located right behind Black Dog Salvage, the famous Roanoke locale with its own television series.
Roanoke River Greenway
The Roanoke River Greenway is the main artery of the Roanoke Valley Greenway System, offering nearly ten miles of paved trail within the City of Roanoke. The greenway follows its namesake river from west to east through the valley, passing through Vic Thomas Park, Wasena Park, Smith Park, River’s Edge Park, and Piedmont Park.
