A Scott’s Addition festival aims to secure funding for the neighborhood’s first permanent public park on Norfolk Street, according to reporting from WTVR CBS 6.

Green Space for Norfolk Street

The proposed park project focuses on Norfolk Street, providing a dedicated outdoor space for residents and visitors in the industrial-turned-residential district. Organizers intend for the festival to bridge the funding gap necessary to establish the permanent site, according to WTVR CBS 6.

While Scott’s Addition features numerous breweries and businesses, it currently lacks a formal public park. The initiative seeks to address this infrastructure void by creating a central gathering point for the community.

Community Support and Timeline

The festival serves as a primary vehicle for public engagement and financial contributions toward the park's development. According to WTVR CBS 6, the project targets a completion date of Sept. 6, 2026.

Local stakeholders continue to advocate for the conversion of the Norfolk Street area to ensure the neighborhood maintains accessible green space as density increases in RVA.
