IS PLAY SPACE

Parks In Richmond, Virginia

Wow, do we have room for play

This is one big great big green playground. Our region’s parks are all over. They include the far-reaching James River Park system, a carefully developed and maintained experience with everything from kayaking and rafting to hidden spots to enjoy a picnic and read a book. Hadad’s Lake is a throwback to mid-century adventure parks with rope swings and slides. Huguenot Park and Pocahontas State Park are perfect for calm walks, and Pony Pasture is popular for taking a dip in the river. More treasures: Richmond National Battlefield Park, historic Byrd Park, Deep Run Park in Henrico, Pole Green Park in Hanover, Libby Hill Park on Church Hill (the view of the city – whoa!) – and dozens of others across the region.
