History of Valle Crucis Community Park
With the 182 Lower Crab Orchard Road being so closely located to the Valle Crucis Community Park, there’s lots of communal recreation activities that you can become a part of! Valle Crucis is North Carolina’s first rural historic district and is known for it’s historic destinations. In 1983, members of the Valle Crucis Community joined forces to preserve a 12-acre tract of land along the Watauga River that was slated for development as a recreational vehicle campground. Their efforts were successful, and the VCCP was born. The park’s founders held a clear vision for the land: That it should remain undeveloped, as a recreational and gathering space for the community, in perpetuity. Today, Valle Crucis Community Park has grown into a 28-acre destination for High Country residents as well as visitors to the area. The park is open to the public year-round and provides space for a variety of outdoor activities.
