What should the future of VSS Park look like? Your voice can help shape it.

Join us Saturday, August 29, from 10–11 a.m. for a VSS Park Update and learn more about the future of the Virginia State School Memorial Park.

Hear what’s been happening behind the scenes over the past 18 months, get a first look at the draft park concept plans, and share your thoughts on the proposed designs.

The City of Hampton’s Community Engagement team is also asking residents, neighbors, alumni and future park users to complete a survey. The survey features two conceptual designs and gives you the opportunity to identify the specific elements you like most — from walking paths and gathering spaces to historic interpretation, recreation and future amenities.

Your feedback will help inform how the initial $1.5 million investment is prioritized and help identify community priorities for future phases.

📅 Saturday, August 29
⏰ 10–11 a.m.
📍 Economic Empowerment Office
60 Aberdeen Road & 700 Shell Road, Hampton, VA

ASL interpreters will be available.
