Friends of Bryan Park is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and improvement of Joseph Bryan Park. Since our beginning in 1994, Friends of Bryan Park has been dedicated to the preservation and improvement of this historical regional park. Back then, few came to visit the dilapidated park with its bad reputation. Through years of hard work FoBP, hand in hand with the Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities, has ensured that Bryan Park has become a destination. Our mission is to continue to be a strong and persistent park advocate as we work to help the park become the best it can be. Our continued use of events, displays and work parties supports this mission. Bluebird trails, Purple Martin houses, bulletin boards, new landscaping--these are just some examples of the visible improvements FoBP has made over the years.
