Great place for dogs to play! Got there early . Little before 8am was the perfect time to get acclimated to the yard before the other dogs came. Our puppys first time and he had a blast!
Great place for a quick trail run. Just watch out for all the families walking on the trails. Usually just need to pay attention so you dont run into anyone. Quick and easy parking access.
Rockwood is a great Park & bears a testimony as to how well our counties and metro areas take care of their parks! it is a great park with tall trees and paved pathways that are great for kids or folks who have issues getting around not to mention the other amenities for sports and even archery ranges! The dog park is great and a little nature center is a sweet spot to check out a little science with the kids.
Visited the Nature Center Trails this past Sunday. There are both paved trails and natural trails for walking or hiking. We took the Orange Trail which is about a 1-mile loop. Some of the trail markings were hard to find, but the park isnt that big. Theres no chance of you getting hopelessly lost! Parking lot at the Nature Center was full. We had to wait for a space to free up.
Very nice outdoor Lighted courts for Pickleball as well as tennis and basketball. Great facility for any sport and if you venture to the very back there are some beautiful walking trails through a very natural wooded environment
This is a great place for walking in the woods. Everything you would expect in the woods is here: trees, bushes, squirrels, songbirds. There is sometimes a deer or owl or snake. The shady wooded area has two loop trails, one paved, and one more natural. Each is a little over a mile long, and they intersect, and there are maps posted so you dont get lost. Along the pond, you will often see waterbirds and turtles. People tend to be friendly. Wave and say hi.
Nice playground!! Dog run an plenty of trails. If you play pokeman go you will love this place. Painted RVA rocks are also here!
Its a decent enough park. It has all the things you would expect in a park. The only downside is that it always seems to be packed with people.
Got treated well even though Im obviously trans which was a big relief. Mike was extremely patient and helpful with helping my partner and I make our first firearm purchases.
Nature walks and pickle ball. It’s larger park with plenty to do. Well landscaped too.
Great park for exercise, dog walks and has been since I played baseball there 40 years ago.Clean and well maintained.
Pretty nice park. Paved walking paths and some trail hiking. Basketball, baseball, tennis, its all there. Usually pretty crowded.
Wonderful place to visit, have picnics & enjoy in nature.. Great we experience.
Miles of fairly easy hiking/walking/ biking trails. And Pokemon Go.
I grew up playing softball at Rockwood, so I will always love this park! That being said, in the 10 to 15 years I was unable to visit Rockwood, a lot has changed inside the park and I love it! The playground is beautiful and great quality, the dog park, the garden, etc are all wonderful additions!! We will continue to go there and walk the trails and play sports etc.
Didnt explore alot of the park due to not having enough time but im satisfied with time I spent there.Nice size dog park but I wish both yards were open to use at the same time and had more shade available for humans. Also, I think its awesome that they have a small dog yard for owners of smaller dogs that may be nervous about letting their dogs loose with bigger dogs.
Its probably a shame that we have to travel from Colonial Heights to get to play at a venue such as this, but so it goes. Great venue for pickleball, tennis and many other sports and outings!
This place is very peaceful and is great for family and friends activities. I enjoy the diversity there.
Nice park. Fun for every age. Plenty of trails for hiking, biking and sight seeing.
Nice park. Great for preschoolers. Can get busy right before lunch
I love it... Its a family oriented park and I felt safe as I was taking my daily walk.
Quiet trails, not to much traffic so you can enjoy nature, stroller is no problem. Kids love the play area with jungle gym. Can catch kids baseball and softball games during season ! Birthday party are great hear which also can go with a great place to cook out;
My sons love the park area altogether. No loud music no fighting out there at all one of the best parks in Virginia period.
This was my first visit to Rockwood Park. It was a bit crowded with all the baseball games but we parked by the nature center and walked the white trail. It was a short and quiet walk through the woods.
The Rough House dog park is one of the best in Richmond!
Most enjoyable bit of exercise Ive had in awhile! Trails are really nice!
Great walking loop and playground. Clean bathrooms!
Rockwood Park is great. Lots of walking trails, a playground and much more.
Great trail. Will get you in shape.
What a great place for people with little ones! Its a great place to meet friends for walks, sports, and general leisure time!
Great place to workout and let kids burn off steam. On Sunday, the bball courts were packed with adults running games.
Fantastic park. ballfields, basketball courts, nature center. great walking trails.
Beautiful and serene. Unexpected as well. A little diamond in the rough. Also, if you like trees, there are a lot of them that collectively are known as woods. If it was just a small amount it might be a grove. If it was sort of hidden and primeval it would be a fen but this isnt. Please dont pick things, or eat the trees. And clean up after your dogs. No, there are no Ents...at least none I know of.
Needs another playground. The current one gets crowded
Great park for exercise... pond scenery is awesome... and for Pokemon players alot of Gyms and Pokestops...
Nice park but wasnt lit up after dark
Fairly clean park, the dog park is nice.
Very nice park with several options for outdoor activities. I enjoy the trails more than anything.
There was a dude with a space jam jersey on and a beret. I believe he had a small easel. Definitely had a decent portable speaker. The drip was on.
I enjoy coming here year around with the family. Between the trails, paved and unpaved surfaces and playground it keeps the kids busy! There are basketball courts which keep the older teens occupied and on the tennis courts you will find a variety of ages. Baseball fields and archery ranges. Its great to see people outside and active.
Great trails. Kid friendly for parents
Great place to social distance and get kids out to play
Lots of cool and awesome things to do. I have played and won many baseball games here
Beautiful park to take pets and children. The trails are nice, there are paved and unpaved trails through the park. No bathrooms on the trail, but there are easy to find bathrooms at the front of the park. I havent checked out the nature center, so not sure how nice that is. There is a nice fenced area for dogs to play, but our two do not know how to act with other dogs. So we dont visit that area often.
Great place for kids and adults
Good park for young children. Older kids can play basketball, baseball, tennis, run/walk nature trail. They have a nature center with some small reptiles and mammals. Dog friendly play area.
Very disappointed with the amount of trash all over picnic and bathroom areas. Lots of families grouped around the playground areas during this pandemic. Suspicious vehicles driving around with loud rap music. Did not feel safe at all.
Great park for walks.
Rockwood is a park with a little something for everyone. Playground for the little ones, dog park/play pens for the fur family, softball/baseball/cricket fields & basketball courts, tennis & pickleball courts, archery range & lastly, my favorite, the beautiful paved & unpaved trails. Trails are well maintained with shelters which can be rented/reserved for a variety of needs. Trail does have scenic views of Gregory’s pond, which is private without fishing privileges, but does provide lovely views.
Good paths for a hike. Because of COVID I cant opine on rest
Love love love this park! My kids never get tired of this park because there is so many different area to play and explore. It’s a great park for any age group. They have awesome hiking trails. My kids also like to stand outside the dog park n watch them play.
Friendly folks, pleasant environment.
At the Nature Center.I do Archery with other disable Veterans and other disable people.The staff is knowledgeable of Archery for disable.I enjoy shooting w/ them.Its fun.
Nice place to take your family
Love the trail around the pond and the dog park areas. Big soccer and ultimate tournaments are fun to watch while walking the dogs. Plenty of space for hooping to your hearts content! Very clean, poop bag stations galore, and active community calendar events here.
Wonderful and SAFE hiking and picnicking!!
A great place to get in a walk, run, basketball game or Pokemon Go raid battle. The dog park is great and theres lots of different trails got all levels.
Peaceful, clean & everyone practiced Social Distancing!!
Very nice park but was very crowded when we visited. Dog park area looks like it could have been bigger or had more adjoining area added on. Very nice layout of park overall.
Its a very nice and big park, nice for bike and run
Great place to play PokemonGo either on foot or in a car. Lots of gyms and pokestops. Kids love the playground. Tons of walking trails and picnic areas.
Our family loves coming here! The nature center is so fun and the nature paths are great as well. They have these super fun exercise stations through out the nature walks! We absolutely love coming here. Highly recommend to families!!
This is a very peaceful place to go to get away for a bit. Great for kids and adults alike. Play grounds, walking trails, basketball, grilling and shelters.
This is the place to be trails that go forever fun for the hole family basketball baseball
My first time there and it was great !
Basketball. Big paved track. Dog parks.
Well maintained park will several playgrounds and areas to run around. Attention to safety with Yellow Jacket traps and landscaped areas. Our go-to place to be outdoors.
Sports, woods, trails, lake, garden spot, dog park all close by.
I dont go often but it seems real nice today.
All the amenities necessary for the children
Such a cool place- so much to do!! We love the nature center and the dog park! I can jog and push a stroller on the paved trails- I cant do that anywhere else!
This park has a lovely wooded (and shaded!) playground and bathrooms too! Weve never done anything besides go to the playground but it looks like theres tons of other fun stuff to do here. Highly recommend!
Wonderful park with a lot of activities for kids of all ages. Sorts fields as well and a very nice dog park.
Nice park with walking trails
This park really tries and i like it. I wish the facilities were updated a bit but they really have a lot for the community. It can get a little rough on the courts around evening time, but they generally do a good job of patrolling it. Tennis courts and pickle ball are nice. Plenty of baseball. Bathrooms are clean. Lots of space to walk and run. Playgrounds for kids of a variety of ages. Nice place to have a picnic too.
Nice hilly challenge!
Great park. Found my new favorite pair of sunglasses on a picnic table. Would take again
Great trails dog park ECT....picnic benches....
I love this park! Theres so much to see and do while there and the equipment is clean and appears to be well taken care of. Most of the people (adults and children) tend to be very friendly which adds to the atmosphere as well. My only suggestion would be to add more swings as there are currently only 4 and there tends to be a constant line waiting for one to become available.
Favorite place to walk dogs and run the shaded trails. there is a dog park too.
Nice outdoor space; many options available for outdoor activities and change of scenery
We love the play area for kids. Slides and swings and a big sandbox give kids interesting options. Plus, the big trees provide shade in the summer!
Great place to hike, take your dog and find myself spending a lot of time watching little league games there. Also some great programs are held there by the Chesterfield Parks and Rec Dept.
Wonderful trails! Beautiful pond! Great dog park and so much more!
One of Chesterfields nicest parks! Check out the little nature center. They had a rescued chipmunk the last time I visited.
I like coming here to do my walking on the trails or around the field. Ive never had or seen any problems at this park. Its very family friendly. I also like to bring my dog to the dog area
My favorite free park! Someone even found and returned my keys! Only @ Rockwood Park.-Rockwood Park Archer
Boring park not much to do
A place for little ones to enjoy
