Developed through an extensive planning and engagement process beginning in January 2024, the plan was shaped by thousands of Richmonders through workshops, surveys, community events, stakeholder conversations, and online engagement. That input helped define the plan’s six Driving Principles and priorities for improving parks, greenways, community centers, natural areas, and recreation across the city. The adopted plan translates this community vision into a long-term vision, priority projects for the next 10 years, and 206 action items to guide implementation and future investment. Explore the full plan and supporting documents below.
