The City of Oak Hill supports the efforts of the New River Alliance of Climbers (NRAC) and what they provide for Needleseye Park. Their assistance to provide safe, updated industry standard climbing anchors, volunteer efforts towards trash removal and graffiti removal and more have already benefited Needleseye Park. Their most recent efforts was to purchase a modern titanium one wheeled stokes rescue litter to aid rescue efforts for EMS personnel within the interior of the park. Additionally the City donates $1000 annually towards the efforts and wonderful support that NRAC provides to Needleseye Park users. Thank you NRAC for your commitment!
