• Out of the Wild (richmondmagazine.com) — Access from Manchester to Brown’s Island will be cut off until next fall as Richmond undertakes a $30 million makeover of the popular riverfront park, pausing concerts, festivals, and casual visits. The project adds restrooms, water fountains, shade, and a splash pad, but has sparked debate over whether new amenities will make the island feel too corporate and less wild.
