A huge fenced in playground! There are toddler and big kids playgrounds, water play, a sensory wall, and plenty of space to run around. There is a parking lot right in front of the playground. My kids had so much fun and hope to visit again next time we visit Richmond! read more

Thank Goodness this place is open early. While visiting Richmond for the holidays, everyone in the house slept in and I was able to get the kids' energy out at this park without having them destroy the house or wake everyone up. Very clean. No vagrants while we visited. Has bathrooms. Is fenced in. Easy parking. read more

COVID review: My kids love this park!! There are sooooo many fun things for kids of all ages and all abilities to do! They have a sensory wall, tree house, slides, swings and playgrounds for bigger kids and one for smaller kids. Pre covid you could find us here every Saturday enjoying the sun and having lots of fun. The park recently opened back up (currently opened only on the weekends) with social distancing and safety guidelines in place. The park encourages all its guest to wear face coverings but it's not required. The picnic shelter has signage up that says it's closed but no one follows those guidelines. The rest rooms are closed so parents be prepared in case your little one needs to go potty. The park has added more rubber mulch throughout the park to help keep your littles nice and safe in case they fall! Overall I love this park and I'm so happy that it's back!! read more

Once again, this is the best park in Richmond, hands down! We love ARC Park, now known as Park 365. First of all, it's pristine! I've never seen trash or anything that looks out of place there. The diversity is amazing. There are people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities having fun at this park everyday! Every time I've been, it's been packed. I haven't been able to pinpoint a less crowded time, but I'm sure that during the week is better than the weekend. They have everything your child could possibly want to play with! Different types of slides, playground equipment for climbing, musical instruments, a tree house, all different types of swings, a maze, and so much more. Truly, this is the only park to go to as far as I'm concerned! We are planning to have our kids' birthday parties here in a couple of months. There are two shaded options for parties: A group of tables in the middle of the park, and then there are tables that are on the side that are a little more out of the way. The pricing to reserve is reasonable and I love that all you have to do is go on the website to do it. No phone calls, no first come, first serve, etc. Overall, this is one of our favorite places in the entire city for kids. Definitely check it out! read more

Clean, fun, safe. Creative playground experience with disability access. Activities for all ages.

This was our first time here and they truly have something for everyone! All abilities and all ages. It was busy today, but it didn't feel overwhelming as there were so many different play areas. There were sensory areas, big slides, little slides, a picnic area, bathrooms, music space, swings, and so much more. read more

We come to this playground all the time! My daughter loves it ! Wish they had the water spritz throughout to cool down must be broken ? Bathrooms with changing area and or nursing area. A lot of times the pavilion is booked for b day parties on the weekend so they will have it blocked off with tape. Basket ball court and some workout equipment to the far right behind the back side of building. The school does use this during the week with students from my experience read more

Honestly the food wasn't that good def won't be coming back. Not much of a variety of food. They did not have ranch. The drinks are not that good. I had great service I just think the menu needs an update for sure because for the price it's not worth it and the seating is very close to others so conversations are not private at all. read more

Verbs are on point! GATHER, PLAY, GROW, CREATE, MOVE, EXPLORE, DISCOVER, REFRESH! At ARC Park, these words greet you on a huge sign to encourage you and your young ones to get outside and commune with their senses! The parking area is nice and large with plenty of spots. There's an indoor building for all ages, children to seniors with programs for everyone and all abilities. I love that it's a gated park for safety. There are several play areas with playground equipment, swings, slides, bridges, climbing walls etc. Kids can really exercise and expend their energy here. There's a tree house for them to explore (and wheelchair accessible) and a garden area to discover growing flowers, butterflies and nature. There's also a music area where they can let their imagination flow! A water wheel shows them the movement of water and speaking of water, the strategically placed water misters will keep you cool all day! What a smart idea! Then there's a large covered picnic area to gather and refresh with a snack or two! I loved it here! Now for some adjectives: this park is immaculate, well-designed, beautiful and creative! Kids of all ages, adults and wee ones will love visiting this park for a day of play or a welcome respite from work! This park is a asset to the community and one that RVA should be proud of! Now, let's go have some fun! read more

We love this park, It is so clean and kid friendly!! Hands down the best park in Richmond

Park 365 is lovely, well-tended, and fully accessible to most needs. It has a music wall that has audio, water play features, and accessible tree house and swings. Even the picnic tables, which sit beneath a large, shaded pavilion, are wheelchair accessible with several open sides at which to park a chair or assisting vehicle. There is much attention paid to height and curb accessibility throughout the park. There are also public, accessible restrooms and water fountains. read more

this park is so fun- but there are quite a bit of hazards. There are 2 big holes in a grass area by the basketball court, and there is a random brick by what seems to be a little shed-- and an open space with tons of little orange string-like material that kids can easily get tangled in. The basketball court has a really broken gate (which i saw a couple kids fall through). Other than that, this park is great and i would recommend. read more

Great new park for kids. This is one of the bigger playgrounds I have found in the area. It has everything from swings slides a tree house etc. There are public bathrooms picnic tables shaded areas. And it has these misting towers to cool you off in the heat. it is located at the Richmond ARC building. The building is closed to the public. But the park is open to all. It is handicap accessible. read more

An amazing park for kids. It was designed to be accessible and help children that may be deaf or blind to interact with the space. There is a sensory wall, and different parts of play ground has area that engage your senses like the water area to xylophones. My daughter loves the long ramps to the different slide areas to the sounds that emulate a train or a truck. Also, this playground features an amazing tree house that is accessible to someone in a wheel chair or has difficulty walking. This park is a gem of Richmond for families. read more

Went here today for the first time with my 3 year old. It was super inclusive, clean, well maintained, and beautiful. It's all enclosed with a solid fence that's perfect for kids who are runners. read more

A perfect park! Love the inclusivity, gated enclosure, room for curiosity, shaded eating area, restrooms! What more could you ask for?!

Best park in Richmond? Amazing. Fenced in, plenty of parking, play space galore and of all types. My kids loved it. Plenty of picnic tables. read more

Great park for all kids! We visited based on a friend's recommendation and she was right on! My daughter loved the "tire" swings and the instruments. It got HOT the day we visited so didn't stay long. Bathrooms and water fountains available - best smelling bathroom . I was craving peach cobbler after lol. The recycled tires smell pretty bad when it's that hot out, but provide good cushion on the playgrounds. Only comical thing was the "stay off flower beds", but they look just like the play areas so kids were all over. Great picnic area. Definitely will return if in the area. read more

I really enjoy bringing my son here. I like that it's enclosed and have section for different age groups. There's a good amount of space to run around but it is very important to keep a close eye on your child. There's usually a lot of kids running around. read more

A great place for kids of all ages, the variety of equipment available, and the kid-friendly landscaping makes this park perfect for kids.

So many things to do. The diverse equipment and accessibility are super. Bathrooms, parking and interactive equipment offer something for everyone. read more

I absolutely love this park! I went recently for the first time and really appreciated that this was friendly for all children, of all abilities. My son enjoyed climbing on the toys, swings, and playing with the instruments. The park was filled with children playing. I will be frequenting this park, as it's only a few minutes from my house. This park is a hidden gem! read more

We came here to kill some time while our dog was getting some dental work done. We ended up spending the whole morning there! This park has a lot of different stations to keep a kid entertained and they are not just playground equipment! My two year old loved the water station and the interactive wall that played music. It did get crowded around 10, but we managed to still have a great time! read more

The ARC park is a wonderful park. It is very nicely designed for all different ages and abilities. I love that it is wheel chair accessible for those that need it. It is very spacious with different activities. read more

This park is amazing! We went for the first time yesterday with our son, and had a blast! It's tucked away off of Laburnum, and is great- the whole park is fenced in, which helps contain the kids. There are areas for children of all ages (some of the equipment is even labeled to show which age it's intended for), and also for children of all abilities- with most areas being handicap-accessible. It's also a very attractive park, and has features I've never seen before. There is a huge sensory wall for children with sensory-processing disorders (and others), a music station with large pipes and tubes that you can play, misting stations, a large tunnel, a garden/greenhouse, as well as traditional playground equipment. There's also a shaded area in the middle with picnic tables for parents to sit or children to cool off and rest/snack. I also saw a child's birthday party in another, more private covered pavilion. My only complaint would be that the misting stations were very tall, and with the way the breeze was when we visited, you couldn't actually feel any of the mist as it went above us. But that could've just been the wind that day. Otherwise, we had an incredible experience and can't wait to go back! read more

This is a great park. We never have any issues here and spend hours letting the kids run around. If there were any recommendations, I would only say the bathrooms should be cleaned more often then they are now. read more

Since becoming a dad, my DH's mission in life seems to be to find the coolest playgrounds wherever we travel. Richmond is a mere 1.5 to 2 hours from our home, and thankfully so because it has one of the best playgrounds we have ever visited. To me, Park 365, as it was recently renamed, is comparable to, if not better than, the Rotary Playgarden in San Jose, CA. The Rotary Playgarden stood out for its innovative design, plethora of attractions, and accessibility. Park 365 shares many of these attributes AND it also focuses on nature and music, so actually I think it beats the other one. I was so impressed with the tree house, the garden space, numerous slides, water tables, and other fun features. This park was incredibly well thought out, and it's a total treasure of Richmond. I highly, highly, highly recommend parents of children of "all ages, all abilities" check out this gem of a playground. I don't think my descriptions or even pictures could do this place justice. It is relaxing and safe and so much fun for the kiddos and their parents/guardians. There's plenty of shade, too, so you don't have to suffer under the hot sun while supervising your child/children. The bathroom facilities were clean and easy to find. Signage is helpful and easy to follow. I can't sing this playground enough praises. read more

I came here with my two sons for an event. It was very crowded but there was lots of room and it was very accommodating. I like that the place is closed down with a gate. There are lots of things for a young toddler to do to have fun and run around and explore as well as learn. We will definitely come back here again. A good place to have a celebration or birthday party for a young child. read more

I love this place. My daughter is 1 and that's one of the best parks Richmond car offer. Plus its location is pretty convenient.

This is easily the best playground in Richmond. We live across the street from a nice playground, but we drive from the Southside to come to this one because of the size and variety it has. Anyone in Richmond with a child of any age should check it out. read more

Used to be great, nothing works anymore and def not as clean, should be the best park in the area.

This is such a beautiful park. I love that it's great for any age/ability. My daughter was all over the place, she really enjoyed the music space. I also love that it has a gate! read more

Love this playground! Lots of fun for everyone. The only thing that is annoying is the parking... especially when folks cant seem to pull in their spaces properly and end up taking two spaces. :( read more

Great Park for kids of all abilities and ages. Our son loves the water feature (pump with waterfall) and misters, The park has covered picnic tables, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking. read more

Best park ever!! A unique opportunity for kids with and without special needs to play together as equals. And the bathrooms are clean (unbelievably so, when you control for the fact that this is a public park)! read more

Great playground! I've visited a few times with my 18 month-old and he always has a fantastic time. Love all the slides and water features. With so many things to do, I don't think we'll be getting tired of coming here any time soon. Such a gem! read more
