It's a gorgeous park, but unfortunately if you don't live in Brandermill you can't enjoy this park…read more We'd been visiting here for over a year (not 1 had any issue or seen police here) and just the other day they now have posted cops that check IDs and if you don't live here you must leave. People here pay big bucks for HOA fees (silliest thing ever), but if you're rich go for it. And also the boat renting is for residents only too? I understand now why they have cops in the park enforcing non residents to leave. Never been to The Boathouse and now I don't plan to. Loved this park and so did our son. But there are endless other parks in Richmond to enjoy! Peace out!

It gets a little crowded but nothing that takes away from the trails. Everything is well maintained and clean. The lake is absolutely beautiful and the goose population is crazy! Its fun to feed them though. This is a nice place to take photos. There is a Boathouse Restaurant near the lake as well, and you can also rent paddle boats! You have to be a resident or know someone to be able to. You could spend hours walking around. Sunday Park is something of a hidden treasure as, it is entirely surrounded by housing.

We got in the water and stepped on dog poop, needless to say that was kind of a wrap for us. The admission is $10 per vehicle and the water is absolutely disgusting. The only nice thing about it is that it's right next to the ferry, we atleast got a chance to ride and head over to Smithfield for a nice dinner.

They are open from dawn until dusk and offer some of the cleanest facilities around. It is a great place to hold a family gathering. They have a pavilion with a grill available to have hotdogs and hamburgers with the friends and family. They have two basketball courts available. If you're looking to play tennis, they have great courts available with high fences to keep the balls within the court. If you have a baseball or football team, they have baseball and football fields available. They look like they are well maintained and offer great spots tor team sports. Tip: contact Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation for booking details.

Coming from Colorado Springs where dog parks are sprawling acres with creeks and multiple terrains,…read morethis was a sad substitute. It is very small, it seems nobody picks up after their dog, and there is no water access so remember to bring some! We have a 9 month old mastiff and she needs room to run and romp with dogs her size. There is no designated small dog/big dog area (not that the limited space provided would allot for that). The only reason it gets 3 stars is for the simple fact that it was fenced and nearly empty when we stopped by. It works if you need something quick.

This place is on Fort Gregg-Adams, so you do need base access to be able to go here…read more This was probably the neatest, cleanest, most well maintained bowling alley I have been to in a long time, or possibly even ever. My kiddo has been wanting to learn to bowl, so this was the second place we have tried. They have sooooooooo many balls for younger kids since this is targeted toward military families. There were ample 4, 5, 6, and 7 pound balls. It was soooooooooo easy to find some smaller ones for my kiddos to use. I really appreciated that. You ask at the front desk for them to set the bumpers, but once they set them, they raise and fall each time for the players. So hubs and I could earn our gutter balls fair and square, while the kids got higher than they would have earned without them... Definitely better than places where you either have to have them up or down the whole time. No music was playing although they have one of those jukeboxes where you pay for songs on a phone app, but I rather liked how we weren't screaming over the music and pins falling. We ordered some two cheeseburger combos and a nachos and cheese. I really liked that when you order nachos, they grab you an individual bag of either Tostitos or nacho cheese Doritos, so it is consistent sized every time. The cheese dip is that delicious, iridescent orange cheese at ballparks and convenience stores, but boy does it hit the spot. It is a little pricy for $5.25, but the burger combos are a STEAL. Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions, and the condiment bar has so many options: mustard, ketchup, relish, ranch, hot sauce, honey mustard... it also comes with fries and a fountain drink (with orange soda, fruit punch, root beer, regular soda, Powerade... all the choices my picky kids love!) for $8.25. Cheaper than I pay at fast food chains these days and it was GREAT. Char marks and everything. Yum! You pay by the hour, and for shoe rentals and I do wish that the computer had a timer so you know how far into the hour you are, so you can gauge if you should start a new game or not, if you forgot to look at the time you started after trying to find multiple balls, get appropriately sized shoes and everything it takes to get two kiddos ready to bowl. We will definitely be back, we loved this location.
