RVA Parks provides a new mobile medium to communicate with the City about the parks system. City residents can report issues by calling 3-1-1, logging into the Citizens’ Request systems online, or using the RVA Parks app. Provide the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities with feedback and report concerns by taking a picture and sending it by email directly from your smart phone.
