Joseph Bryan Park, also known as Bryan Park, is a public park in the city of Richmond, Virginia. The park memorializes Joseph Bryan (1845–1908), the founder and publisher of the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper. The land was given to the city in 1910 by Bryan's widow, Belle Stewart Bryan, and her family. It contains a network of hiking/biking trails and is open daily without charge.
The park, which sits next to the Bryan Park Interchange, where I-95, I-64, and I-195 intersect, hosted the Richmond Vegetarian Festival annually from 2003 through 2018.
In mid-2024, the City of Richmond broke ground on the city's portion of the Fall Line Trail, an approximately 43-mile multi-use trail currently (2024) under development — from a northern terminus in Ashland, Virginia, to a southern terminus in Petersburg, Virginia. The thirteen-mile segment extends from Bryan Park, which will become a key trailhead, to the Chesterfield County border to the South.
