Triangle Park is a small urban park nestled between the Church Hill and Union Hill neighborhoods in Richmond at the intersections of Jefferson Avenue, E. Clay Street, and N. 23rd Street. Once the site of an abandoned gas station, the neglected lot underwent a remarkable transformation thanks to dedicated neighbors. What began with a single Chinese Elm and two benches (rescued from the former park surrounding the Richmond Coliseum) evolved over the next decade into a thriving community space. In 2023, the park came to life with the installation of a pollinator garden established in memory of a neighbor’s beloved sister. Shortly afterward, in the fall of 2023, a more extensive beautification effort was undertaken by Verdant Richmond and a group of corporate volunteers. This initiative led to the planting of a river birch, a dogwood, serviceberry trees, and magnolias, along with native hydrangeas, yarrow, baptisia, rudbeckia, milkweed, and hundreds of tulips and daffodils. Today, Friends of Triangle Park continues to ensure the park’s upkeep and development, shaping it into an inviting green space for the Union Hill and Church Hill communities, as well as local wildlife.
