Join correspondent Tom Wilmer for a visit with Brad Epperley, Christiansburg Virginia’s Director of Parks & Recreation at the city’s trendsetting Huckleberry Park.

The 50-acre park features all-inclusive amenities including a state-of-the-art dog park, special event locations, and multi-purpose playing fields for baseball, soccer, lacrosse and other field sports.
Most fascinating are the interactive outdoor activities fine-tuned specifically for kids with limited mobility. There’s even a swing set specifically designed to accommodate wheelchair bound kids.

Come along and join the conversation with Epperley and discover just how Huckleberry Park has earned its mark as a nationwide parks and recreation trendsetter.

Afterwards we’ll meet up with Master Gardener, Beth Umberger in Christiansburg at the Montgomery Museum of Art & History’s legendary gardens.
