The Friends of Bellemeade Park are looking forward to hosting Earth Day Celebrations in the park!

Upon arrival please look for parking in the Bellemeade Community Center lot, Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary lot, or on the street as there is no parking within the park. Then proceed to the Bike Shop area where the day will begin. The Friends of Bellemeade volunteers will be at the park entrance to welcome you.

The day will begin with the presentation of a large financial check given by the Virginia Outdoor Foundation to Richmond Parks and Rec. in support of Bellemeade Park development into a regional outdoor learning campus and workforce development area. After the check is presented we will hear a few remarks from representatives of various supporters including our youth.
Below is a list of activities that will be led by our partner groups. This will be an exciting day so bring your children and encourage your neighbors to come and enjoy our beautiful Bellemeade Park and Outdoor Learning Campus!

I hope to see you there and I appreciate your support greatly.
