Griggs Virginia Beach, VA You won't find this cemetery unless you have the exact directions. We drove what we thought would be the proper spot, in the vicinity of the old James E. Petree house, with no success. It was only after we stopped and inquired of neighborhood homeowners that we learned the location of the old cemetery. To reach the cemetery turn south on Salem Road and pass the S. Independence intersection. Turn left into the entrance to Rock Creek neighborhood on Rock Lake Loop. After you pass Big Oak Court turn right into the parking lot of the Rock Creek Recreation Area. The cemetery sits between the swimming pool and the playground. The gate is locked.
