The Department of Parks,
Recreation and Community Facilities (PRCF) continues to take the safety and
health of our patrons as a top priority. As the City of Richmond continues to
learn more about this virus, additional steps are being taken to help control
the spread.
Effective Friday, April 10,
2020, PRCF will implement a vehicle limit at Ancarrow’s Landing with a “one in,
one out” policy. This restriction will assist in the social distancing measures
that have been implemented by Governor Northam’s Executive Order 55 and carry
through the holiday weekend. Brander
Street, leading up to the entrance of Ancarrow’s Landing, is also marked
as a no parking zone. All vehicles illegally parked in this area will be
ticketed and/or towed.
As a reminder, the Tredegar
Parking lot, the parking lot at Pony Pasture, access to the James River Park
System (JRPS) at the Pipeline entry point, and entry to the JRPS at the 21st
Street Tower will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays until further notice. For
this weekend only, closures will begin on Friday, April 10.
The city understands 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 .
