Periodic Park Closures Begin October 26 for Planned Improvements
The Greene County Parks and Recreation Department advises residents that beginning October 26, 2026, the Greene County Community Park will experience periodic closures during construction. Planned improvements include expanded parking, sidewalk improvements, and a new pavilion. Work is expected to take approximately three months from start to finish.
Closures may affect portions of the park or require temporary full closures, depending on construction activities. Visitors should follow posted signs and stay clear of construction areas. The County will strive to alert the public when closures are happening, including a Public Notice at the top of the website at http://www.greenecountyva.gov, and through the non-emergency alert system. Signs will also be posted at the park for each time closures happen, whether partial or full closure, so be watchful for that. To sign up for alerts from Greene County, visit https://greenecountyva.gov/343/Alerts-Notifications and choose your non-emergency groups in addition to emergency alerts.
These improvements will enhance access and provide additional space for recreation and community gatherings. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we work to improve the park.
Residents can always call the Parks and Recreation office at 434-985-5226 for information as well or visit its website for program offerings and to sign up for events at https://greenecountyva.myrec.com/.
