POGO PARK

The Pogo Park Vision

We believe that it is possible to transform lives by transforming public space. We do this by re-imagining and building urban parks and playgrounds that foster healthy child development and revitalize communities.

Goals

• To create natural, imaginative, magical, outdoor play spaces that are designed to spark children’s physical, cognitive, linguistic, social, and emotional development;
• To transform parks and playgrounds into vibrant hubs of community life;
• To use the building of vibrant parks and playgrounds as a catalyst for energizing and revitalizing the surrounding neighborhoods; and
• To develop a new community-based development model for city parks that can be replicated throughout the city of Richmond and beyond.
