Friends of Libby Hill Park

Located at 28th and E. Franklin Streets, Libby Hill Park is one of the three original parks in Richmond’s park system. It was originally called Marshall Square, and the view from Libby Hill Park is said to so closely resemble the view of Richmond on the Thames in England that it gave the city its name.

In addition to its magnificent view, the park has an ornamental fountain, a small park house, and a monument erected in 1894 for Confederate soldiers and sailors.

The park is open from sunrise to sunset. Your donations will go towards plantings, beautification, and maintenance of this historic park.
