Very cool place. Was very happy to have been able to take a tour. I have been wanting to for years and it was even neater than I expected. The park itself is also nice. There are trails and beautiful views of the river. I absolutely love going here.

We often grab a to go breakfast and go walk around (follow the path towards the river) and sit to enjoy fresh air. Its a peaceful spot. Bonus: keep up with Friends of Pump house for chances to tour the inside! Just did it last week, very cool!

Hidden park to some Richmond transfers if youre not active. Great way to access many trails & see parts of the James River, Maymont Park, Bdlle Isle, Browns Island & more. Get out & explore.

Lets hope at some point....Richmond will be able to have enough money in the budget to refurbish this old beauty.... (After half The Fan gets re-paved & Richmond City Schools gets ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THEY ARE DESERVED...10 FOLD)

The building is cool and I look forward to seeing what it looks like after the renovations, but thats the only positive thing I have to say. The trails clearly have zero upkeep, my friend sat on a ledge and had a horrible allergic reaction to some kind of chemical, and the water is absolutely disgusting. Some areas literally smell like a sewage plant.

A Place to relax, find peace and beauty in this time of Despair. Friends + Respect for all of Gods Children.

What a great place that needs some money put into it. Plaques are getting defaced, paths overgrown. Wish wer could go in and see the inner workings. Come find out what made Richmond so strong.

Yes, parking. When we went, we couldnt find a place to park next to the pump house. I understand that you have to have someone walk you through for a tour but we just wanted to explore the outside but didnt know where to park. We didnt end up exploring because we were worried about getting a ticket or getting towed

Very nice place to hang out. The old pump house is a very unique form of architecture. It is also a great place to watch trains if you are a railfan.

This is a great place to access some less known spots on the river including a great beach and a great area to dive

I love walking the trails with my dogs. Been coming here for almost 10 years now. Plenty of wildlife to see (deer, fox, owls, etc..). If you have never been here it is a must!

Pretty cool place, not a huge tourist type spot, but if you are in the area definitely a good stop. Cool gothic styling of the original pump house it neat to see and walk around it. It would be awesome if the inside was restored and was toured. Overall really it’s a decent trail walk or bike with some good views and historical value. I’ll bring a couple people back to see the building.
