ParkRules: Canis Familiaris Praecepta (Dog Rules)
As we work to increase accessibility to ALL Richmonders and visitors, we welcome to the Park people of all ages, races, sexes, and abilities. We even welcome their dogs…Within reason.
Parks and Community Centers are Upstream Solutions
We’ve heard talk that some on City Council wish to reallocate where ARP funds go. Here is an op-ed submitted to our local media outlets by Josh Stutz, our Executive Director.
What to Tell Your Councilmember
We’ve heard talk that some on City Council wish to make changes to Stoney’s plan and reallocate where some of those funds go. Here is language that we’ve used to communicate with Richmond’s elected officials. You are welcome to use it as well, and we encourage you to make your voice heard.
Another Way to Give
As you probably know, we continue to thrive thanks to your generosity. Another way to support our efforts is through the donation of stocks and other marketable securities. These donations help to sustain our long-term efforts.
