Crozet Park Selected as Starr Hill Charity Beneficiary - Claudius Crozet Park, our community-owned nonprofit park run by volunteer board members, has been selected as the Cheers for Charity beneficiary at Starr Hill Crozet Tap Room for November and December.

Sure, donating to our locally-owned nonprofit park is a great way to help keep recreation affordable and accessible for everyone. But what's even better? Donating by playing Bingo and having a beer!

The park operates independently from the county park system, with volunteer neighbors working behind the scenes to make sure our community has an amazing place to play and gather.

Every Wednesday, Starr Hill will host Bingo Night with proceeds supporting the park's operations and programs. It's the perfect excuse to grab a pint, try your luck, and feel good about supporting a great cause.
