Libby Hill Park

Libby Hill Park is one of three original parks in Richmond, located in Church Hill. This seven-acre park was designed by city engineer Wilfred Cutshaw in 1850. Originally called Marshall Square, the park became known as Libby Hill Park, after prominent landowner Luther Libby who owned a house on the park. It was designated a National Historic Landmark as part of the St. John’s Church Historic District in 1969.

We have recently planted trees in both Libby Hill Park and Chimborazo playground. Now we need to keep them alive and healthy. We will be having monthly workdays to check on the trees and week, mulch and water as needed. We will also be paying Groundworks RVA to water several times a year during the heat of the summer (particularly in the lower park where we have no water access). We need your help to do all of this. There will be notifications in our calendar, on the Friends social media regarding dates and sign up. If you would like to be on our email list- let us know at FriendsofLibbyHillPark@churchhill.org And/Or: Donate to our CHA Tree Maintenance Program or to the Parks & Beautification Committee.
