McGuffey Park is a 1.1 acre park next to the McGuffey Art Center at Second Street N.W. and Jefferson Street. A 2007 renovation brought a new playground and other features, and was funded by a group called McGuffey Friends. [1]
The Charlottesville Community Design Center also contributed to the renovation[2].
The city's comprehensive plan classifies McGuffey Park as an 'urban' park[3].
