Lucas Park Activation Project: Building Community Through Health & Sustainability

A partnership between Urban Tilth and the City of Richmond

Welcome to a New Chapter for Lucas Park

Lucas Park is becoming more than just a park, it’s growing into a vibrant community hub where health, joy, and sustainability come together.

Through the Lucas Park Activation Project, we’re bringing neighbors, families, and local organizations together to reimagine how we use, care for, and invest in our shared space.

This is about more than programming, it’s about community power, connection, and creating a future shaped by the people of Richmond. From fresh food to fitness, youth sports to community resources, there’s something here for everyone.

The Mission

Guided by extensive community outreach, Urban Tilth, alongside a strong network of local partners, has been piloting weekly wellness programs at Lucas Park since 2025.

Our mission is to:

  • Build a community-driven master plan for the future of Lucas Park
  • Promote health and active living
  • Create a safe, welcoming space for all ages
  • Foster environmental sustainability

Lucas Park Wellness Wednesdays Kickoff

This summer, Urban Tilth and community partners are launching Lucas Park Wellness Wednesdays, a free weekly community wellness series designed to bring neighbors together through movement, recreation, food access, and connection.

Beginning May 13 through August 26, 2026, Lucas Park will transform every Wednesday into a vibrant community gathering space filled with activities for all ages. From youth sports and fitness classes to bike repair workshops and fresh food access, Wellness Wednesdays are about creating consistent opportunities for Richmond residents to prioritize health, joy, and community care together.

The kickoff celebration marks the beginning of this new tradition and invites community members to explore the park, meet local organizations, and participate in a variety of engaging wellness activities throughout the afternoon and evening.
