Hello…Community Stakeholders,  
We’re building a park in the Grove community at 8744 Pocahontas Trail and we’re excited to invite you to share your ideas. As a valued member of our Parks & Recreation community, your perspective is essential.  
Please join us for an in-person *Design Conversation* on**Thursday, September 3 at the Abram Frink Jr. Community Center / James River Elementary School**(8901 Pocahontas Trail)**.** There are two stakeholder meeting options provided for your attendance: *Option 1:*3-4 p.m. (Abram Frink Jr. Community Center Conference Room);  or  *Option 2:* 6:30-7:30 p.m. (James River Elementary School cafeteria). **You are requested to attend only one meeting timeslot.**   
Our consulting partners, Whiting-Turner and Baskervill, will host an interactive discussion exploring key topics such as park amenities, programming needs, and community priorities. Your input will help ensure that the Department continues offering inclusive, high-quality recreational opportunities for all residents.    
Mark your calendars today and join us to learn about the project’s history and progress, review conceptual plans, provide interactive feedback and enjoy light refreshments.
