Dorey Park and Recreation Center
Pond, paved trails, and a fenced dog park on the same grounds
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.
Amenities
Dorey Park and Recreation Center reviews
What visitors consistently sayVisitors 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.
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.
