Capital Improvement Projects

The Department of Parks and Recreation is responsible for capital improvements to Lynchburg’s parks, trails, and associated facilities, including seven community centers, Miller Park Pool, the Lynchburg Community Market, the Aviary, and the City Stadium.

Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) projects are generally funded in 10-year increments, adjusted as needed on an annual basis. The department uses a multi-faceted approach when developing the CIP plan for parks, trails, and facilities. Factors considered during the CIP process, include:

• Safety and public welfare concerns,

• Developing within the framework of existing Master Plans for specific parks,

• Developing within the framework of existing local, regional, state and national  plans and initiatives, such as the City of Lynchburg’s 10-year Comprehensive Plan, the Region 2000 Blueways/Greenways Plan, and the Virginia Outdoors Plan.

• Public involvement and participation,

• Availability of funding sources, including CIP funds, grant funds, and donations.
