In 1999 the City of Virginia Beach
dedicated the Volunteer Recognition Garden to honor past and present volunteers who gave, and continue to give, their time and talents to make Virginia Beach a better community. It is located in a quiet corner behind City Hall at the Municipal Center, bordered by North Landing Road and George Mason Drive, and is a place of beauty that all citizens can enjoy. The Volunteer Recognition Garden was paid for through the generosity of private citizens and businesses and is tended year-round by municipal employees as a symbol of unity between the city and volunteers.
