There's a new smart phone app called RVA Parks. This easy to use app provides searchable information, maps and directions to city parks, playgrounds and community centers using the following search criteria:
- Athletic Fields
- Baseball/Softball Fields
- Basketball Courts
- Community Centers
- Lighted Areas
- Playground Shelter or park houses

- Tennis Courts
- Tot Lots, and Walk/Exercise Trails
The app can be download onto iPhones, iPads or Android phones from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. To view a tutorial on how to use the RVA Parks app, visit: RVA Parks.
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.
