Heritage Park In Broadway

Rockingham County




When I snapped pictures of this mural on the bridge, I did not realize what it said. Looking at the pictures later, I saw it said Heritage Park. I decided I needed more pictures of the park if I was going to make this into an interesting blog post. So one afternoon I went back and walked around the park.


It is a pleasant park along Linville Creek.

  2. Nice mural and I like the "love" sign too. We also have a town called Rockingham south of Perth. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Linda.

  4. Do we know whose heritage is commemorated by the park?

    1. Probably local history, but that’s an interesting question. The town had a very rough reputation at one time because it was a place where crews brought timber and goods to ship downriver and rivermen congregated. The result would involve drinking, womanizing, and fighting. Somehow I don’t think that’s the heritage that they are commemorating!
