Fairgrounds Park Master Plan

The Fairgrounds Park Master Plan (PDF) determines the highest and best use of this 78-acre property owned by Chesterfield County. The public process for master plan development engages the community in public meetings, a Technical Advisory Board and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission to determine potential park uses. The address of the property is:

10300 Courthouse Road
Chesterfield, VA 23832

The adopted plan provides a basis for further study to include an economic feasibility study, phasing based on economic study and a cost assessment for implementation.
