In 2005, Virginia bought 431 waterfront acres for a future state park; 21 years later, the undeveloped land has been folded into another park with a 30-year plan

• A 431-acre stretch of waterfront land in Gloucester County, Virginia, bought more than two decades ago to become a standalone state park, has officially been added to nearby Machicomoco State Park under a newly approved 30-year master plan.
• The state bought the undeveloped property in 2005 for what was then planned as Middle Peninsula State Park.
• Located next to the historic Rosewell ruins, the land will now become Machicomoco’s "Western Unit".
