Richmond, VA
– The
Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities (PRCF) continues to
take the safety and health of our patrons as a top priority. Effective March
13, 2020, PRCF cancelled all permitted use of the athletic fields, picnic
shelters, park houses, all department sponsored programs and activities, and
all community centers and offices to the general public.
At this time,
PRCF parks remain open, including our playgrounds, skate parks, dog parks and
trails. Be advised that these and other outdoor amenities are not sanitized, so
use with caution and follow the CDC health and safety guidelines. We
reiterate the importance of social distancing and avoidance of large gatherings
and group activities.
We understand
the importance of the park system to our residents and will re-evaluate the
need for closures and cancellations as this unprecedented situation evolves.
Staff at PRCF’s
Administrative Office will be available to assist residents via phone at
804-646-5733 or email at AskParkRec@richmondgov.com .
