NORFOLK, Va. - A new green space and recreational park is opening in Norfolk.
Broad Creek Legacy Park is a continuation of the City of Norfolkâs Broad Creek Refresh, a multi-year effort to revitalize the surrounding area and neighborhoods. To date, the refresh has included the purchase and demolition of old buildings, addition of parks and new developments, including a new school, library and recreation center.
Councilwoman Mamie B. Johnson, who has spearheaded the effort, said, âI am excited to officially open Broad Creek Legacy Park and bring this new addition to the community. This park provides a safe place for residents to gather outdoors and reinforces my greater vision that healthy communities make for healthy neighborhoods and families.â
