Pet Park N Ride

There are many picnic tables inside and several benches outside two huge gated areas (not dog-size specific). There isn't much shade, but lots of room for dogs to run. Water containers were given instead of a water tap. Off Old Brook Road and Azalea Avenue, beside Henderson Middle School, is the Henderson Sports Complex. Turn off Old Brook near the Northside YMCA building and drive about 1/4 mile to the parking lot.

This gorgeous private off-leash dog park is rarely busy, so your pet will have lots of space to run about and play. Bowls are provided, but water is required. For further information, call (804) 233-4371.

The oldest dog park in Richmond is Barker Field. Barker Field Dog Park is a fenced, multi-acre dog park located behind the Carillon and Dogwood Dell outdoor theater in Richmond's Byrd Park. Water, shelters, and sitting are available on this woodland spot.

Archery, softball, basketball, and tennis are available, as well as a playground, walk, and dog park.

There are sports fields and courts, fitness pathways, a golf course, a playground, and a picnic area in this large park.

A sports field, playground, and fitness stations may be found in this neighborhood greenspace.
