VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Red Wing Park is expected to close Oct. 3 through early 2025 for a roadway improvement project.

Located at 1398 General Booth Blvd., the park will close to allow for necessary roadway improvements, including widening of the entry way to the park as well as repaving the parking lots and park lanes throughout the park.


“We understand the impact this may have on the community, and we appreciate the community’s patience and understanding,” said Michael Kirschman, director of the Virginia Beach Department of Parks and Recreation. “We look forward to opening Red Wing Park with enhanced accessibility in time for the 2025 Cherry Blossom Festival.”

All park entryways and facilities including playgrounds, tennis courts, walking paths, and athletic fields will be closed and unavailable to the public. The Red Wing dog park will also be closed during renovations.

Dog owners can visit the Marshview Dog Park located at 136 Marshview Dr.
