PARK365

This one’s a go-to for families in Richmond, and honestly it earns the reputation. The fully enclosed play area means you’re not constantly doing a head count, and the range of equipment — swings, climbing structures, musical gear, water features — keeps kids of basically every age occupied longer than you’d expect. Shaded seating and picnic tables make it a real hang for parents too, not just a drop-off situation. The restrooms are consistently clean, which in a public park is saying something. Throw in a basketball court, a walking path, and open grass, and there’s genuinely something here for everyone who shows up.
