Pole green has a little play area for kids, as well as a fenced in skate park which is pretty cool. The park is located directly behind the school. To the naked eye it kinda feels like your trespassing because the park is THAT close to the school.

We stopped in for a visit to the dog park! The park is a little bit further down, but near PGES…read more There are two fenced areas for the small dogs and large dogs to play and socialize. The parking is easy. The only restroom available is a porta potty and only one from what I saw. There's a track section near the dog park for those who want to exercise as well as a little gazebo type of area for gatherings. The dog park offers little obstacle courses, potty stations with potty bags, and benches for owners to sit on while in the gate. All in all my dog enjoyed her time playing and socializing with other pooches! We shall return.

The park itself is nice and clean. So many things for little ones and older kids to do. The only…read morecomplaint was the bathrooms near the splash pads were atrocious, missing stall handles, reeked of urine. Just filthy! waste on the floor, used pads falling out the trash bins all over the floor. So unfortunate the public is trashing this beautiful park! It gets very crowded in the warmer months especially once the splash pads open up. I went on a Monday afternoon and they were packed.. people are not paying attention to their kids, some older kids are pushing the little ones and a lot of youth groups without the proper amount of chaperones.

I had an incredible time at this charming park. As it is getting warmer, I am looking for new to me…read morespots to go on walks after work. Three Lakes Park was the perfect evening refresh. We arrived around 5:30pm and spent until about 7pm exploring all the walking paths. There is something here for everyone. There is a huge playground for little ones, there are paths for walkers/runners/dog walkers, and there were even a bunch of people fishing in the lakes. I love how child-friendly this park is. It felt like most of the bridges, benches, and other fun structures were made by girl or boy scouts. There is a huge parking lot so it's easy to drive to this spot. They also have very clean restrooms. We didn't go in to the nature center, but that was pretty too. I liked that this park had a lot to explore. The water was low enough at one section for us to go to a little island in the middle of one lake. While not all the trees have their leaves yet, I image this is even prettier when everything is in bloom. It was a very serene and lovely place to explore.

Three Lakes is a gem of a park not far from Richmond proper. I love walking here when I happen to…read morebe visiting a business or estate sale nearby and it has always been exceedingly pleasant. This place has plenty of parking, lots of playground equipment, and (as the name suggests) three small lakes to walk around. It's worth noting that the main lake (closes to the park entrance) is where fishing is permitted and has the newest/nicest path as well. The middle lake is enjoyable though is a bit rougher. The far lake was damaged in storms in the past so some of it is pretty rough but still enjoyable to explore. I make sure to hit all three lakes every visit, though if you want a nice clean experience, stick to the main lake. The nature center is nice but fair warning: it's pretty small and won't take more than 10-15 minutes to enjoy in its entirety. Still, the staff member there tends to be nice and there are a few small animals in the little displays there. If you want a fun place to walk (especially if you have kids who like playground equipment), this is a great spot to do it. Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - Beautiful walking spot. - Pleasant staff. - Lots of free parking. - Fun (if small) nature center. - Plenty of playground equipment for kids. Cons: - It would be great if they fully re-built the third lake, though I suppose the rugged nature of it is part of the charm.

We came here and had lunch on on of the few picnic tables in the park. They were very dirty and I went thru a whole pack of wipes to clean off the table. Ugh. Limited parking for vehicles, this park caters to locals within walking distance. We noticed a few sketchy characters on the park benches so keep your eyes on your little ones. That being said, there were also some charming little nooks like the bird bath garden, the neighborhood pantry stand, and the entry water fountain. Good for Ashland for providing the community with this cute little park! Skate on dude!

I suspect that in the past there were maybe three houses on this plot. But it packs a lot in the small space. A small skater park looked well designed -- beginner stuff but the young folks using it seemed to enjoy it. Lots of newer playground equipment. Well-cut grassy areas with three or four tables for picnics, and recent;ly emptied trash cans. Good parking for its size, including a handicapped space. A good place for a family outing, right off the main drag.

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by one of their friendly staff members. I asked a bunch of questions about the skate park and they were very helpful. The storefront side of that serves as the front of the store is well executed and organized. There's plexiglass in the back separating the park from the store.
