McIntire Park is in the City of Charlottesville. The park is named in honor of its benefactor, Paul Goodloe McIntire, who donated the original land.
Meadowcreek Parkway
Part of the park will soon be used for the city's portion of the Meadowcreek Parkway. The Coalition to Preserve McIntire Park is pursuing a series of lawsuits to stop construction.
YMCA
The Piedmont Family YMCA is planning on building a fitness and aquatic center in the western half of the Park, though the exact footprint is under question due to the economic downturn. A group called the McIntire Park Preservation Committee has formed to try to prevent this from occurring, or at least to ensure that the YMCA does not cause two softball fields at the park to be eliminated.
