Virgilee is the only segment
of the Olmsted Linear Park which is named for
an individual; the names of all other segments
of the park reference natural features found
in them. Virgilee was Joel Hurt’s daughter;
this park is her memorial. The landscape of
this segment continues the pastoral scheme of
the Springdale segment---open space with groves
of trees, paths, and smaller plantings on the
periphery.
