Where it Started

2021
The community needs a public gathering space in the downtown core to fully achieve its reemergence as a dynamic environment to live, work, eat, shop, and play.
In 2021, the City purchased the property at the corner of 21st Street and Magnolia Avenue thanks to a generous grant from the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, and began efforts to create a public park.
City staff temporarily named the space “Town Square” to serve as an identifiable project name. A new name will be given to the space – stay tuned for updates on the process!!
