Ruff Canine Club
Supervised bar-and-dog-park combo with strict vaccination screening
About this park
A private membership-and-day-pass dog park and bar, with on-site 'rufferees' supervising play, a food and drink menu for humans, and strict vaccination screening for every dog. The paywall keeps the crowd small and the dogs vetted, making it a different experience from Richmond's public parks.
