Harvest Green Carrot Park

Tucked into one of Richmond’s quieter neighborhoods, this little park punches above its weight for such a small space. The design is genuinely thoughtful — raised herb beds, monarch butterflies drifting through, the kind of natural touches you don’t usually see at a playground. Kids in the 2-8 range will stay busy on the slides and swings, and the walking path gives parents somewhere to decompress while keeping an eye on things. It’s the sort of community park that makes you glad someone actually cared when they planned it.
