Chester Dog Park
Heavily shaded runs with agility gear for both sizes
About this park
The dedicated dog run inside Goyne Park, with a large sloped section for big dogs, a separate level area for small breeds, and a simple agility course. Heavy tree canopy keeps it cool, and multiple water stations make it a reliable Chesterfield County choice.

Chester Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayVisitors traveling through consistently rate it as one of the largest big-dog runs they've found. The separate small-dog pen and the heavy shade get repeated praise.
A mix of Chesterfield locals and travelers passing through Richmond: quieter weekday crowds, busier weekends when the full-size run fills up.
Best for
Before you go
The big-dog area sits on a steep slope that turns muddy after heavy rain. Skip it right after storms if your dog hates dirty paws. There's no ramp into the large-breed pen, so wheelchair access is limited.
