The new exercise equipment in Jefferson Park is amazing
05/20/2016 12:36 PM by John M
The grotty exercise equipment at Jefferson Park has been replaced by completely next-level gear.
The Friends of Jefferson Park was the recipient of a $51,591 award from Bon Secours Richmond Health System and a $10,000 grant from an anonymous donor towards the new equipment.

Huge thanks and congratulations to Bill Conkle, who’s been working tirelessly to make this happen for years. I can’t wait to try this out!
Yay!!!!
Union Hill is fortunate to have Bill Conkle who is passionate about our park. Thanks for your years of dedication to Jefferson Park.
Love it! Thank you to those who helped make this happen!
The seated hip flexor/hamstring/quad machine is awesome, not to mention the view is sublime.
Looks great but why can’t they cut the grass on the hillside or down the steos
Looks great!
Finally got back off vacation and had a chance to check out the equipment. It looks great and is designed to withstand the demands of heavy use by our neighborhood. The Friends of Jefferson Park is looking for park users to get involved with the Friends Group. Just a few meetings and lots of opportunities to provide leadership to projects or just labor to keep the park in good shape. 804-615-3764. Would love to have a beer or coffee to talk about you getting involved.
Thanks everyone for your kind words, but the credit goes to Bon Secours (and an anonymous donor) and the members of the FOJP who made this happen. Let’s get fit!
And thanks also to the Enrichmond Foundation, the umbrella 501c3 for the Friends of Jefferson Park. They do amazing things in the city to improve our parks and public spaces. Support them at the upcoming BACON Festival!
