About this park

Henrico's flagship regional park, with a pond, paved bike and walking trails, disc golf, picnic pavilions, and a dedicated fenced dog park. The range of activities makes it a popular family destination, and the long paved trail is a standout for leashed dog walks.

Synthesized from 2372 Google reviews
The highlights

Visitors rave about the paved trail that 'looks like it goes forever,' the pond with ducks and herons, and how the grounds stay clean and welcoming even during events.

The community

A genuinely community-driven park that hosts cookouts, farmers markets, and National Night Out. Weekends draw families, sports teams, and dog walkers in equal measure.

Before you go

The off-leash pen is the separately listed Dorey Dog Park on the same property. Park near the dog run rather than the main recreation center lot if that's your destination.
