Get Park Smart!
Much of the work that we do for the James River Park System revolves around improving, protecting, and enhancing the Park. Some of our work is stuff that you can’t fit onto a shovel or feel with your hands. It’s education.
A Most Excellent Summer
I am writing this on the last day of what has been an excellent Summer for FOJRP.
A 50th Birthday and a Day with Ralph White
We have 3 signature events to celebrate our 50th Anniversary.
Meet Our Newest ParkStar, Blue Sky Fund!
Our newest ParkStar is Blue Sky Fund! They provide transformational experiences for Richmond area youth through outdoor education. The James River Park System is where they do a lot of their programming.
ALERT! Texas Beach is Closed!
Parks & Rec found structural faults in the pedestrian bridge.
Happy Birthday to US!
We’re excited to celebrate 50 years of the James River Park System! We’re throwing a party on Belle Isle on September 17th, and you’re invited.
What Was THAT?
The James River Park System is the home to a ton of interesting animals. What’s the most interesting thing that you’ve seen in the Park?
Happy Summer from Giles!
The Summer season in the Park is in full swing, and there is a ton of progress on projects of all sizes!
New Fiscal Year, New & Improved Website!
We worked hard to design and build a new website that is easier to navigate, faster, and more visitor focused than what we had before.
A Happy Fourth!
“What do you do with the money? Why should I support the work you do?” As a nonprofit director, these are probably the most important questions for me, and I couldn’t be prouder to write this blog addressing those questions.
