Richmond’s Guide to Being a Good Neighbor is a helpful guide that covers the responsibilities of both residents and the government in maintaining a safe, healthy, and vibrant neighborhood and a wonderful city in which to live.

This booklet summarizes select city ordinances as of June 2021 and is not meant to be a complete account of all ordinances. City Council often amends ordinances so it is important to check with the responsible department indicated to ensure there have been no changes since this booklet was published.

For questions, please contact our customer service team at RVA311 by dialing 3-1-1 or 804-646-7000, visiting RVA311.com, or using the RVA311 mobile app.

History
The first Parks and Recreation properties acquired were Western Square (now called Monroe Park), Marshall Square (now called Libby Hill Park) and Gamble's Hill Park (now the property of New Market Corporation from a property trade in the 1980's to acquire our Brown's Island Park in the James River). These first properties were acquired between 1851 and 1854.

Surprisingly, active recreation programming began as a private enterprise in the early 1900s. In a display of civic leadership through the support of the local business community, the first "public" playground was established in the backyard of a Methodist Settlement House at 17th and East Main Streets. The playground was opened at this location to provide a few moments of relief, enjoyment and comfort for the many children working as laborers in the nearby tobacco factories.

By September 1908, Richmond City Council had seen from this first "experiment" in public recreation the importance and value of what should be a child's main work: wholesome, constructive and active play. Council passed the first resolution concerning supporting, funding and establishing a municipal recreation program.

In part, their September 17, 1908 resolution states: "Whereas, it is of the utmost importance to both the morals and health of any community that its children should be afforded opportunity for innocent and healthful recreation in the open air; and for such enjoyment, in every city, a large number must depend upon the generous care of the municipality."

Partners
