Chimborazo Park, Historic park in Richmond, United States.

The expansive 30-acre recreational space sits atop one of Richmond's hills, providing a 180-degree view over the James River and downtown skyline.

During the Civil War, the park location housed Chimborazo Hospital, which treated over 76,000 Confederate soldiers between 1862 and 1865.

The Richmond Medical Museum occupies a 1909 masonry building that previously served as the United States Weather Bureau headquarters until 1957.

The Church Hill Dog Park section includes separate areas for large and small dogs, while the eastern edge features a rental facility for meetings.

An eight-foot-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty, installed by local Boy Scouts in the 1950s, stands as a distinctive monument in the park.
